“The government of Sergio Massa, Cristina de Kirchner, Alberto Fernández and the International Monetary Fund ends as that of Mauricio Macri ended, adjusting to the workers and carrying out the policy that the employers and the Fund demand to make us pay for the crisis ”, he tells Infobae Edward Bellibonireferent of the Polo Obrero and the Piquetera Unit.
On Saturday, the leaders of the Popular Economy Workers Union (UTEP), headed by its general secretary, Esteban Gringo Castromet for the third time to coordinate the march together to claim the Casa Rosada for the cuts to social programs that, they understand, are part of the request that the IMF made to Sergio Massa’s technical teams in the last mission to Washington.
The UTEP concentrates most of the social organizations that are part of the Frente de Todos. So far there is no full consensus to carry out this measure. From a sector of the Evita Movement they try to deflate the initiative because “electoral conditions” and although they will not vote against it, they will not mobilize a large number of militants either. It is very probable that Evita will send a “representation”. Other spaces that make up the UTEP will not do the same, such as the Movement of Excluded Workers, led by John Graboisor the Darío Santillán Popular Front, referenced in dina sanchezassistant secretary of the UTEP.
In the last meeting between the UTEP and the picketers, it was reportedly agreed that a joint press conference would be held next Thursday to announce the mobilization against the IMF on Tuesday, May 16.

Castro, also a leader of Evita and the Francisco Misioneros Movement, is one of the main promoters of this mobilization together with the Piquetero Unit. He understands that he will be a show of strength towards the next Government. “We have to prepare and organize ourselves, beyond our differences and nuances, to prevent any government that comes from wanting to make the adjustment,” he told this outlet. And he threatened: “If we have to sleep on the street, if we have to live on the street, we do it, but we are not going to allow anyone to adjust. We say to Alberto, We are here to fight the Fund”.
Belliboni justifies today’s mobilization starting at two in the afternoon by arguing that the Fernández administration does not increase the values of the social plans along with “galloping inflation that takes away salaries, pensions and all expenses of the State, including health, education and even food from soup kitchens and on top of that they send expired polenta with weevils” and insists that Tolosa Paz “removed thousands of people who did validate their data, showing once again that only He cares about the fit.”
In the communiqué calling for today’s march, the piqueteros state that “while progressing in Argentina, Minister Tolosa Paz has moved from the table against hunger to bringing more hunger to the tables of the workers.” They also demand that the Fernández official receive them to respond to her demands.
