With an unsuccessful negotiation yesterday between the Minister of Social Development, Victoria Tolosa Pazand the referents of the Piquetero Unit remains for this morning in force a nationwide day of protests who will have his epicenter in the city of Buenos Aires y will generate a complicated morning to circulate through downtown Buenos Aires. That will not be the only mobilization this Thursday, so the traffic picture is complicated.
Leftist social organizations called for concentration at 9.30, so from the City government they assume that for 10 there will be areas where part of the columns will be nuked and circulation problems will begin: the Obelisk, 9 de Julio and Independencia, 9 de Julio and Moreno, and the National Congress.
As the piqueteros leaders of the Polo Obrero, Barrios de Pie, the Teresa Rodríguez Movement (MTR), among other organizations opposed to the administration of Alberto Fernández and that have carried out massive protests since his landing in the Executive, have already advanced, by 10:30 they will try to reach the headquarters of the Ministry of Social Development, on July 9, 1925.
So, from Transit of the City they explained to THE NATION what the cuts will be dynamic as the protesters advance. A part of those mobilized will also go to the National Secretariat for Children, Adolescents and Family (Senaf), located at Perón 531.
And despite the fact that the most important concentration of the day will be that of the Piquetera Unit, there will be others that will add difficulties to traffic, according to the calendar with the already confirmed protests that are monitored by the Buenos Aires administration.
One of them will be at 10.30 in Peru and Avenida Belgrano, con possible mobilization towards the Buenos Aires Legislaturein Peru and Diagonal Sur, by educational organizations. Among them, the UTE, the Ctera and the CTA.
Meanwhile, for 12 there will be a demonstration of Youth for Climate in the National Congress.
At the beginning of the morning, the leftist piqueteros set up tents in the center of the city and thus threaten with the possibility of a camping. Eduardo Belliboni, referent of the Polo Obrero, assured THE NATION that this afternoon they will define if they remain until tomorrow or if the mobilization concludes with the activities planned for today.
Among a series of claims, this set of organizations that is inflexible with the government press above all for higher in the promote work, a plan that will not have new additions due to a decision of the Executive, which was now even reflected in a national decree.
While Tolosa Paz, like his predecessor Juan Zabaleta, insists that this is related to an attempt to link social programs with genuine employment, from the leftist groups allege that everything is due to a “adjustment” imposed after the pact signed with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
