In the midst of a tense climate due to the repeated protests and piquetero demonstrations, Victoria Tolosa Paz agreed on six points with the social movements and will deliver a bonus that will be charged together with the March salary. The Minister of Social Development will give a sum of money for the beneficiaries of the Potenciar Trabajo plan and managed to deactivate a series of force measures that were going to be carried out in the next few days.
After a series of meetings with the leadership of the Union of Workers of the Popular Economy (UTEP), headed by its general secretary, Esteban “Gringo” Castrothe official signed an agreement with the official leaders in which they agree to deactivate the protests in exchange for a series of benefits, including a new bond to be paid in March for the holders of the Potenciar Trabajo program. Also buying bags of fruits and vegetables to agricultural cooperatives once a month by the Ministry of Social Development to be delivered to soup kitchens that they themselves manage.
Although the social movements maintain several claims to the administration of Alberto Fernandezlarge piquetero concentrations will be avoided in exchange for complying with the following six points agreed with Tolosa Paz:
-
Delivery for the manufacture of overalls and others purchased by the state, to be produced by textile cooperatives
-
A bonus of the same tenor to the last subscriber, to be collected together with the salary for the month of March 2023 (for the beneficiaries of the Potenciar Trabajo)
-
Payment of the totality of the files (delivery of tools and machines) to be collected with the budget of the current year
-
The purchase of bags of fruits and vegetables produced exclusively by agricultural cooperatives on a monthly basis
-
Development and construction of wet modules (bathrooms) in poor neighborhoods
-
Discussion, resolution and regulation of the Potenciar Trabajo program
It is worth noting that this last point is of great importance for social movements since, with more than 1,300,000 holders, the most important Social Development program is under the magnifying glass of justice since the AFIP detected more than 250,000 people who would charge irregularly due to “incompatibilities”. The prosecutor Guillermo Marijuan denounced the ex-deputy already emilio persico, in charge of Empowering Work from the Ministry of Social Development for not deregistering those beneficiaries. Yes, on the other hand, it eliminated from the register more than 23,000 who had acquired foreign currency.
The social leaders want this measure to be reviewed and that some “incompatibilities” be specified, which for them are not such and are subject to interpretation. Like the dollarized payment of streaming platforms for movies, series and music and game downloads.
Tolosa Paz also began a “virtual validation” through the Mi Argentina application of the beneficiaries of the Potenciar Trabajo who must re-register. They have time until January 6 and those who do not carry out the process will be automatically discharged.
