Description

The Request describes potential environmental harm and damage to the cultural heritage derived from the remodeling works of the Independencia Square in Tucumán as part of the Program financed by the IDB. Specifically, the Requesters note that the great variety of tree species, including native, endangered species, has been removed without proper treatment. Similarly, several items of great historical and cultural value have been removed or replaced by others of lesser quality. Likewise, the spaces that were previously aimed for the realization of recreational, and cultural activities were severely reduced. Finally, the Requesters warn about the lack of public information about the Project, and public consultations in compliance with IDB Policies, to provide timely information on the completion of the Project. On the other hand, the Requesters warn about opacity in the bidding and contracting processes of the Project; however, MICI informed the Requesters that these issues are out of the scope of the process and were given the information to contact the Office of Institutional Integrity so they can approach these allegations. Finally, MICI also shared the Access to Information Site where they can request public information related to the Program.
