began the eviction of the land taken
.

"The intransigence and the refusal to provide a solution more than 100 days ago on the part of the government of the Province of Buenos Aires has caused the deadline set by the judge of the case to arrive and without having proposed a single plot of land for the 1,400 families who are still waiting for a response, the Government escalates the provocation and threatens to evict, "the statement reads.
From the
Polo Obrero they
also announced that they will march to the Ministry of Social Development in claim of genuine work, public works plan, housing, urbanization of neighborhoods and settlements.
In the midst of the debate on land seizures and the right to private property, Buenos Aires Security Minister Sergio Berni had asked the Justice on Wednesday to postpone the eviction of Guernica until Monday.

The two previous suspensions aimed to support the tasks carried out by the Ministry of Community Development to subsidize the departure of the occupants through help with the purchase of materials to expand environments in the houses that some of the families lived, before the occupation, or an aid of 50 thousand pesos.
This Wednesday it was known by decree that the government of Axel Kicillof will deliver subsidies of up to 50 thousand pesos per month to discourage usurpations.
The benefit may be granted for a period of three months, although with the possibility of a single extension for another three.

According to the decree, the objective is "to serve the vulnerable population of the province of Buenos Aires that needs assistance to access a decent life, both in food and housing, improving living conditions for groups at social risk, and their quality of life ".
