Finally, the spokesmen of the sector clarified that, "in reality, it is not a protest against the Government, but to make public a legitimate claim of the workers of our industry, who see their sources of work increasingly endangered."
The president of the Avellaneda Bakers Association, Gastón Mora, warned that
"an urgent measure by the Government
is necessary
."
"We need State policies that allow once and for all to guarantee that a staple food such as bread can always be on the table of Argentine families, and especially of the most vulnerable sectors," said Mora.
And he added: "We must attack the price makers because we are the ones who put our face to the neighbors."
