Fede Sturzenegger stated that, in the debate over the privatization of Aysa, attention should focus on the Brazilian operator Arcos and not on the local partners. According to a Latin American water specialist he had spoken to, Arcos had won a significant portion of the concessions in Brazil and had quickly improved the quality and access to the service; he described the case of Rio de Janeiro as particularly noteworthy. Sturzenegger claimed that, in his opinion, the main benefit of the process was to remove a potential focus of corruption from the state.
