Silva pointed out in a press conference that the government is incurring a “total improvisation”, because at the press conference with two ministers —Lucía Etcheverry, from Transportation and Public Works, and José Carlos Mahía, from Education and Culture— and a hierarch of “ministerial rank” —by Rodrigo Arim, director of the Office of Planning and Budget (OPP)— A renovation for the library was announced for about US$30 million, although the first stage would cost US$6 million..
However, as reported The Observer last week, The government has not planned where the funds for the initiative will come from. and the director of the OPP had to recognize in an interview with Rich Air that There was a “communication error” because “no expenditure of US$20 million is planned.”
