The Avellaneda Bakery Center, together with the bakery industry chambers of Ezeiza, Merlo and others in the province of Buenos Aires,
organize a “panazo” for next Tuesday at Plaza Miserere,
in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Once, in the that they will
distribute more than a thousand kilos of bread for free
to all who come
.
Bread is one of the five products in the family basket that has increased its price the most during 2020. That is why the groups related to the bakery industry are preparing a protest
against the increase in prices of the sector's inputs.
The activity is scheduled from 11 am next Tuesday 2 at Plaza Miserere, and the objective, as announced in a statement, is the
"urgent regulation of prices of raw materials and supplies for the sector."
"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 Gastón Mora, head from the Avellaneda Bakery Center.
The "panazo" will consist of giving people who come around a thousand kilos of
bread and baked goods, with a cooked or chocolate mate
, in order to make visible the problems that the bakery industry is going through.
"This is not a protest against the Government, but rather to make public a legitimate claim of the workers of our industry,
who see their sources of work being increasingly endangered
," the union leader clarified.
It is not the first time that this method of protest has been organized.
In 2018, it was the members of the Centro de Industriales Panaderos del Oeste who distributed some 5,000 kilos of bread to protest against the sharp increase in flour, in addition to the rise in prices of basic services used in production.
On that occasion, the stage was the square in front of the National Congress and hundreds of people arrived there and lined up to receive bags of bread.
