Guillermo Ferraro, president-elect Javier Milei’s pick for infrastructure minister, described Vaca Muerta as the “core” to plan freight transport in Argentina and announced two developments the La Libertad Avanza (LLA) administration is interested in pursuing: the North-Patagonian train and an aqueduct. In a TV interview, Ferraro laid out his vision for financing infrastructure during Milei’s upcoming administration. “Everything the private sector can do, the private sector will do,” he said. Freight trains will be one of their infrastructure priorities, and he used the Vaca Muerta shale oil field as an example. Since there is valuable cargo, an opportunity arises for the private sector, naturally.
