The organizations that led the “national picketing” on the rise of the La Plata – Buenos Aires highway They lifted the traffic cut after noon this Tuesday Therefore, the circulation of vehicles that circulated to and from the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA) began to gradually normalize.
As already reported 0221.com.ar, thousands of protesters carried out the measure in rejection of the suspension of around 158,000 benefits of the Potenciar Trabajo plan. In La Plata, they were several hundred people who interrupted the passage on the way down and up the highway.
In this way, the organizations that make up the Piquetero Unit resumed their plan of struggle that will include cuts in the main accesses to the City of Buenos Aires and other districts, as well as the interruption of traffic on routes from Ushuaia to La Quiaca. It is worth noting that the protests also included roadblocks in the interior of Buenos Aires and in other provinces. There will be 130 points throughout the country and they expect to mobilize some 40,000 people.
“The lives of the poor seem to be worth less and less. There were more than 158,000 casualties of kids who need help and the Minister of Social Development (of the Victoria Tolosa Paz Nation) did not care”said Edward Bellibonisocial leader and referent of the Polo Obrero in the framework of the measure.
From The national government came out to clarify that “they are not casualties” those that were made on those 158,000 plans but “suspensions”. In addition, they explained that those who have not verified their identity as holders of the Empower Work program virtually will be able to do so until March. If this does not happen, then they will be withdrawn from the register.
It should be indicated that From Social Development they affirmed that, until now, almost 90% of the register validated their ownership of the social plan and they emphasize that the process is carried out through the Mi Argentina platform. For this Tuesday, the protests are expected to take place throughout the day, so they ask motorists for predictability for their respective transfers through the aforementioned points.
