Two Consortia Challenge Pension Modernization Contract

The Neuss Group and another link with the current dealer, Néstor Otero, have submitted their offers; shopping and coworking, among the proposals

In the middle of the most important works carried out by the city and billions of pesos invested to improve the surface of the port of Buenos Aires
there is a small corner stopped in time: the bus station. The withdrawal, as we know, could not be modernized during these four years, although the concession expired in 2015. Last Friday, the envelopes were opened for a new call for tenders. Two proposals were presented. One of them, from a group of companies related to the current administration, led by Néstor Otero; the other, from a group led by the Neuss family.

"CABA retirement bus station concession (ETOR)", says the opening act. There were two offers. Neuss Capital, confirmed on August 1st; the other, from Terrestrial Terrestles Argentina, a company related to Otero, one of the businessmen who were arrested for the cause of the notebooks. In this way, the national government again issued a call for tenders at the terminal nearly two years after the start of the first and eight months after its cancellation. From this one to this one, there remained a proposal in the way that there was a Brazilian group whose representative in Argentina was another of the businessmen involved in the cause that originated in the writings of the Oscar Centeno.

"The investment fund Neuss Capital, led by Germán Neuss, specializing in concessions, utility companies and
immovable, badociated with the Lecueder Group, with extensive experience in bus terminals and shopping centers abroad, is proposing the rebadessment of retirement with a new urban atrium, a commercial footbridge adjacent to the terminal and an area of
cowork at the highest level ", describes one of the proposals.

Lecueder is a Uruguayan group that operates the Tres Cruces bus terminal in Montevideo, Salto, Mercedes and Paysandú, with a total of 73 platforms for bus operations and more than 700 employees, as well as Montevideo shopping centers, Portones. Nuevo Centro and Colonia Shopping, in addition to the Montevideo World Trade Center complex.

On the other side is a consortium linked to Otero, which currently manages the bus station, after obtaining four extensions granted by the government. The station has become the focus of a regulatory controversy. Although the decree calling for a new call for tenders was signed by Cristina Kirchner, it has never been advanced in a new contract. While in the region, municipal authorities have focused much of the investment and urban plans in the short term, the station is in conditions that have earned it several critical reports from the monitoring agencies and many other complaints from users.

Otero is named in the cause of the notebooks for giving $ 250,000 to Nelson Lazarte, secretary of Roberto Baratta, in his retirement offices. The payment was made on June 3, 2015. On August 21, 2018, at a time when members of the Federal Operations Federal Police Division were searching his home in Avellaneda, police personnel lined him up. had kidnapped on the revolver. Long single-action and dual-caliber 22-gun rifle of the Doberman brand and a shotgun pistol of two superimposed 32-gauge pipes of the Rexio brand, Super model, both without documentary.

In addition, in another home of the so-called "tsar of retirement", the police found three safes in which were a million dollars and another million, but pesos.

Otero is now competing with Terminales Terrestres Argentina, a company located in Lima, on the 385th floor, which has eight employees, including two nicknamed Otero: their children Diego and Luciano. It did not work with too much strategy to hide behind the retirement czar societies. For example, Lima 385 SA is a company composed of his brother-in-law, Raúl Omar Glories, and his son Luciano; Haras Dilu, another whose partners are Otero himself and his wife, Gloria Otero; NlddBgroup, one more, composed of father and son; Spot Comunicación, a joint stock company created in 2009 with Antonio Fernández and Llorente, and Terminal San Martín have something in common: the address in Lima, 385, 11th floor.

Station Dellepiane

One of the questions that has always flew over the history of Change to the businessman is the construction of the terminal located in the southern part of the city, the Dellepiane station. These facilities are virtually unused. It has always been said that the money to build it was a private expense that came from the pocket of Otero. But many have speculated that it was largely a City Bank loan. The truth is that, despite the will and criticism of users, Otero has maintained the concession during the four years of Mauricio Macri at Casa Rosada. The carrier's credit history can largely explain the unexpected delay. In 2017, Argentine Terrestrial Terminals (TTA) had a debt of 13.2 million pesos with the City Bank until July 2017, but this credit was reduced and is already 1.9 million . Few people think that the government gave Otero time to pay for a previous commitment. Four years, four extensions and two offers. And even the retirement tsar is on his way.
