Walter Román, a logistics entrepreneur and campaign donor to La Libertad Avanza, is partnering with Mauricio Filiberti, Arcos, and a Dutch fund to contest 90% of AySA, Argentina's state water company. The move signals a potential privatization of a key state asset, with political and economic implications. Details of the bid and its likelihood of success remain unclear.
