A new day of cuts and protests will take place during the followingnoon of this Wednesday February 15 in it Buenos Aires center. Is that the Picket Unitwhich brings together a handful of the most critical social and political organizations of the National Government, will demonstrate at the gates of the Ministry of Social Development from 3 in the followingnoon with the possibility of camping.
The main point of claim that they have to make to the Minister of Social Development, Victoria Toulouse Peaceit is due to the withdrawal of beneficiaries from the program Enhance Work which they consider “compulsive”. Weeks ago the Government announced a revalidation of the data to be able to collect and following the term, 160 people were left without the program.
That generated a lot of anger doors inside organizations such as the Polo Obrero de Eduardo Belliboniat the head of the organizations that question the Casa Rosada in general and Tolosa Paz in particular.
The fight plan for today was detailed through a joint statement in which the organizations said that will gather at 3:00 p.m. at the Obelisk to then march to the corner of Av. 9 de Julio and Moreno, headquarters of Development.
The tough picketers return to the charge with cuts and camps
“After having held meetings with officials from the Ministry of Tolosa Paz, but without the minister deigning to receive us, we have verified that the government continues with the idea of insisting on a non-face-to-face virtual systemwhich leaves thousands of unemployed workers without the only social assistance they have, in the context of an inflationary outbreak and a pronounced recession that affects millions of people in their right to have a decent job”, says the document .
At this particular point, they questioned whether the validation system was through a website and not through a physical point.
Saravia: “We have uncertainty regarding the future”
“We will stay until tomorrow for sure. The claim has several points and one of them is the delivery of food that has been delayed once more, we are not sure what will happen to those who were suspended from Potenciar Trabajo and who made their complaint, we also ask for the delivery of supplies and tools,” he told PROFILE Silvia Saravialeader of Libres del Sur in the Piquetera Unit.
In turn, he complained: “They tell us that they do not have money when supposedly all the suspensions of the Potenciar were going to be used to reinforce the ventures. We have uncertainty regarding the future“.
“The only certainty is that they have decided to deepen an adjustment and Tolosa Paz is the Government’s tool to be merciless with the most punished sectors for society,” he said.
More complaints from organizations
The document from the Piquetero Unit also stated that they will ask for the provision of food for soup kitchens. In this regard they said that “the 21 products promised years ago by this same government, many of the projects presented for the continuity or opening of projects of self-managed work, they still don’t go out“.
“Gross”, “superinflation” and “cynics”: the opposition’s reactions to inflation in January
They denounced that “the government’s adjustment policy cannot be hidden” and that “to galloping inflation are added salary caps and poverty pensions.”
“It is not just an attack on the stigmatized unemployed, behind it is a general adjustment to the workers who are paying with enormous needs for a crisis that they did not cause. All at the service of paying a usurious and fraudulent external debt,” they considered.
Along these lines, the organization said that they are not willing to accept that people in a situation of “almost total” vulnerability are “victims of this adjustment”. That is why “we demand that the programs be opened for those who need it, and that the miserable amount that the colleagues who have a job be promoted be increased.”
The hardening of the piquetero fight plan had been anticipated in the last hours by PROFILE following the roadblocks throughout the country that took place last week. The “intransigence” of Tolosa Paz is, perhaps, the question that most irritates the spirits of the leaders behind the flags.
