In the midst of the tension over the land seizure in the Buenos Aires party of President Perón and the impossibility of the provincial government to find a solution, the piquetero leader Juan Grabois warned that

 "there will be 1, 5, 20 Guernicas as

long as they are not solve the problem of access to land. "

Grabois stated that "any humble or middle-class family should be able to access a small lot and pay for it in installments in a country where the problem is not the lack of land."


"It must be recognized that although the focus of attention today is on Guernica,

in Argentina there has been an average of 120 land seizures per year in the last 30 years,

" recalled the leader of the Excluded Workers Movement (MTE) in dialogue with Futurock.

The land was occupied last July by some 1,200 families living in Guernica and others from the districts of Almirante Brown, Lomas de Zamora, San Vicente, Florencio Varela, Ezeiza and Esteban Echeverría.

Grabois demanded that, in the imminent resolution in Guernica, there be a solution through dialogue because "social problems are not resolved with violence."

He also considered that, at a time of global crisis from the coronavirus pandemic, "we must reactivate the economy and activity" and that "the production of batches with services is an extraordinary outlet for workers and neighbors who do not have own roof ".

On this point, he indicated that from his space they are promoting "land, shelter and labor policies" and trying "to convince the government that it is important that there be entry into the broad universe of people."

"I want us to have an income policy superior to that of Brazil, even more so with a national and popular government," said Grabois, balancing the management of Alberto Fernández and that of Jair Bolsonaro. 

Regarding the socio-economic situation expected for 2021, he assessed that it will be "a very tough year" and noted that "people have to be certain."

"You cannot be praying to see if IFE 4 plays or not," Grabois said.


On the other hand, when asked about the recent interviews with former president Mauricio Macri, the social leader acknowledged that he did not see them: "I listen to him and it makes me sick."

Although he assured that "history is going to treat Macri with contempt, as a mediocre".

"Macri's statement saying that the market managed the economy seems to me revealing," Grabois ironically took his analysis beyond the management of Cambiemos: "He talks about things that are still wrong in Argentina, such as that a democratic government does not have sufficient power to regulate or to plan and execute. "

And he resumed: "Those capacities were destroyed by virtue of policies like those of Macri, which gave all the concessions to the market."

Before the arrival of October 17, the date on which the birth of Peronism is commemorated after the liberation of Juan Domingo Perón in 1945, Grabois explained that "many colleagues want to participate in the caravan and some in the virtual act."

"It is a rare moment because the pandemic puts you in front of this dilemma because we want to respect health measures but at the same time the street is the space for democratic demonstration and we would like to recover it," he added.

In recent days, the former Minister of Agriculture of the Nation during the Macri government, Luis Miguel Etchevehere, denounced the usurpation of a family farm in the province of Entre Ríos and targeted his sister Dolores and Grabois.

On this point, the social leader explained: "

It is absolutely false that we entered the Etchevehere camp armed

. I did not have the pleasure of occupying their land."

He also remarked that "the entrance of Dolores is filmed, who even greeted all the employees of the family who know her" who assured that "they are working in black." 

Grabois, together with Dolores Etchevehere, formed the Artigas Project for which

"she made use and enjoyment of her property rights"

, and added: "She decided to

donate a portion of her land to us

."
