Friendly fire
.
The internal tensions in the Frente de Todos are also motorized by the official social organizations.
As
Clarín anticipated
, the
Classist and Combative Current
(CCC), one of the main movements that make up the
Union of Workers of the Popular Economy
(UTEP) -which has representation in the Executive and Congress- will lead mobilizations from this Wednesday at noon throughout the country to
demand that the Government pass
a bill that has been paralyzed in Congress and reject the negotiation with the
International Monetary Fund
.
They also demand that
vaccination of the entire population
be guaranteed
, the immediate payment of the wealth tax and free parity taxes.
The epicenter will be the obelisk.
After the massive mobilizations of the leftist groups, in mid-February and early March that paralyzed the center of the Capital, it is the turn of the official organizations.
At least, from the CCC, led by the national deputy
Juan Carlos Alderete
.
The piquetero of the CCC and national deputy of the Frente de Todos, Juan Carlos Alderete, together with President Alberto Fernández.
The organization founded in 1994 - one of the vertices of the San Cayetano triumvirate, which completes the
Evita and Barrios de Pie Movement
- specifically claims for the draft bill of
Land, Roof and Work
, which entered the Deputies six months ago but was never dealt with.
The text of that law - with the name of a papal encyclical (Francisco received Alderete in 2016) - proposes 375,000 "housing solutions" within the 4,400 settlements that exist in the country and that the Executive intends to urbanize.
According to CCC calculations, the law could generate
3 million
direct and indirect
jobs
.
The problem, of course, is the projected budget (half a year ago) for the
$ 420 billion
initiative
just as Economy Minister
Martín Guzmán
tries to reduce spending in pursuit of an agreement with the
IMF
.
That is also why one of the slogans of the mobilization on Tuesday is precisely
against the agreement
with the multilateral credit organization that the Executive is exploring.
The project had the endorsement of the social policy referents of the ruling party.
The presentation of the law, last September, was attended, among others, by the Minister of Social Development
Daniel Arroyo
, his Buenos Aires
counterpart
,
Andrés Larroque
;
Emilio Pérsico
(secretary of Social Economy and leader of
the Evita Movement
);
the Secretary General of the UTEP (ex-CTEP),
Esteban “Gringo” Castro
;
and
Fernanda Miño
, in charge of the villa development program and
Juan Grabois's
reference
in the Government.
However, it was never debated in the lower house.
It is not a priority for
Alberto Fernández
for now
.
The President also did not mention it in his speech before the Legislative Assembly.
Arroyo, however, does not lose hope.
"
It can be implemented in stages
", he hopes in privacy.
The UTEP accompanies the claim of one of its majority partners, the CCC, but in its own way.
There will be delegations and columns, but
Evita and Barrios de Pie will
not demonstrate their massive convening power, capable of bringing together more than 100,000 people, as was verified during the mandate of
Mauricio Macri
.
Reasons for this differentiation abound.
One is the way of doing politics and the positions of responsibility that these organizations occupy in the Executive.
Another, too, is the
place that the UTEP won
during Fernández's term: for the first time it is part of
the Salary Council
that defines the minimum living and mobile wage (one of the reasons why the CCC will also protest).
In addition, he landed in the
Economic and Social Council
.
Also, with the endorsement of the general secretary of the CGT
Héctor Daer
-a personal friend of the President- the plan is advancing for him to join the labor
union
, which until recently saw it as a threat.
"The conditions are in place for it to take place," said a leader participating in the talks.
However,
there will be UTEP referents
in the Obelisk.
Among them, the union secretary of Evita,
Gildo Onorato
.
It makes sense: the deputies who are part of the social organizations signed the law, including
Leonardo Grosso and Ayelén Espósito (Evita), Federico Faggioli (Patria Grande) and Cacho Bárbaro (Frente Agrario)
.
Paradoxically, Alderete is in doubt due to a very strong flu condition.
“We are going to mobilize on March 17 due to announcements that are very late, such as the draft bill on Land, Roof and Work and because the debt is with the people, not with the IMF.
Huge needs remain.
We are going to mobilize to the obelisk with a delegation of the Cayetians and the CCC is going to mobilize throughout the country, ”the official deputy had told this newspaper.
Background, balance and conflict
Alberto Fernández, with Esteban "Gringo" Castro, general secretary of the UTEP, with the President in his office.
On Tuesday of last week there was a precedent.
Minority groups demonstrated in front of the Ministry of Social Development with an eloquent slogan: "
Everyone's Front belongs to Everyone
.
"
However, their weight within the official armed forces does not compare with the power of "the Cayetans."
The CCC has already marked tough positions against the main actors of the Frente de Todos.
After the violent eviction of the Province ordered by the Justice in Guernica, they mobilized to protest before the Buenos Aires government, in La Plata.
The scenario will be partially balanced, because in the morning the Buenos Aires section of the UTEP mobilizes in Plaza Miserere in a caravan for the “right to work”, one year after the death of Beatriz Mechato Flores, a street socks vendor, in the middle of a violent operation by the City police.
The recipient of this claim will be mainly the head of Government
Horacio Rodríguez Larreta
.
Finally, the Frente de Lucha Piquetero, which brings together opposition leftist organizations, will mobilize on Thursday.
They had originally hoped to march alongside the CCC.
This week, referents from the Piquetero Front met with Arroyo to ask for the
vaccination of the workers of the soup kitchens
- an initiative that the minister accompanies - and they will again mobilize this time to Plaza de Mayo.
This time, in the heat of inflation, in the menu of claims stand out increases in AUH, plans and the living and mobile minimum wage.
