"We are in a completely critical situation. The Government is carrying out a social crime against millions of working families who today do not have a plate of food. The Government's position is intransigent, it abandons the poor, it excludes the workers. Today, 44 thousand soup kitchens that we social movements have supported for two decades, are waiting for the State and Minister (Sandra) Pettovello to deliver the food,"
