Buenos Aires, Argentina — My people, e don happen! Dem say the government under Javier Milei wan run some kind of special decree wey go change how INTA dey operate. Na wah o! This one fit shake the foundation of agricultural governance for the country.
Juan Pablo Karnatz, wey be the leader of FAAS and prosecretary of CRA, don yarn plenty about this matter wey dey cook. According to am, if dem go ahead with this plan, e go put the future of INTA, and all the hardworking people wey dey work there, in jeopardy. Plus, na the farmers wey dey survive for north and south regions go suffer pass.
Karnatz talk say the current governance setup for INTA dey very participatory. Meaning, plenty groups dey involved for decision-making. Dem dey get the top body wey be the Council Directorate. This council dey gather representatives from both public and private sectors, so as to make sure say the voice of society dey heard.
Inside this council, you go find the President and Vice President of INTA, alongside one person wey come from Secretary of Agriculture. Four representatives from the collaborating groups like Federación Agraria, Sociedad Rural, CRA, and Coninagro dey also join for the matter. Sometimes, those good folks wey dey belong to CREA (the agricultural producers group) and some university people fit even dey involved.
Karnatz emphasize say the governance dey unique because of wetin dem call operational and financial autonomy. Na im make dem fit manage their resources without too much control from government, all under the supervision of the Secretary of Bioeconomy from the Ministry of Economy. But the wahala be say, Milei and his padi dem wan chop this autonomy—turn am to a federal property where only dem go dey make decisions.
Wetin e mean be say dis move go dey illegal since no decree fit change law. As per Karnatz, the unions should don prepare to rush go court sharp-sharp to stop this madness with a precautionary measure wey go fit hold this decision.
Make we talk am straight: this ‘chainsaw’ action by Milei fit scatter employment. If research and development stop, e go affect the whole village and the hardworking producers for the north and Patagonia.
As the matter dey unfold, voters and farmers go need keep an eye on this governance wahala. E fit change how we dey grow our food and who dey decide di future of agriculture for Argentina. Make we dey watch as this drama unfold!
