The calm of the micro and macro-centers devastated by the lack of presence in public and private offices to prevent coronavirus infections is interrupted every week with

massive mobilizations

. Social organizations that do not agree with the ruling party are the thermometer of a

growing social conflict

. The social movements that are part of the Government also question the speed of the Executive to appease the crisis, warn about the

fall of changas

, lack of food, claim places of power in the Frente de Todos and demand the

return of the IFE

.

Left-wing social movements kept their word and this Tuesday staged demonstrations throughout the country.

As anticipated by the National Piquetero Front, which brings together 35 opposition groups, it marched in the Capital from the Ministry of Social Development to the Ministry of Labor, where the

Salary Council

met,

which updated the vital and mobile minimum wage (which regulates, in turn, the complementary social salary, which is charged by the 870 thousand beneficiaries of employment plans).

The

social truce

that a sector of the Government proposed to the organizations for now is not working.

Last week the secretary of Social Economy for Social Development and leader of the Evita Movement,

Emilio Persico

, received the social organizations, who asked that officials from the Ministry of Security not participate in the meeting.

In the Portfolio that

Sabina Frederic

leads, they

acknowledge that until now they have not managed to demobilize the organizations as they would have liked, although some partial successes have been noted.

"We achieved that there was not a cut of 2,000 people 48 hours ago, but that does not appear in any newspaper," they point out.

Meanwhile, the social organizations that make up the Frente de Todos - and have their leaders with senior positions in half a dozen ministries and seats in Congress - are

putting pressure on the Government

. “The problem is that the sanitary saturation impacts the economic recovery. The minimum wage and the complementary social wage were complemented with

trades

, which are falling like all the activity. If restrictions are necessary, it would be necessary to think about a

scenario of limited IFE

and an increase in food aid that is below the requirements, ”

Daniel Menéndez

, Undersecretary of Social Economy and leader of Barrios de Pie,

told

Clarín

.

The lack of food in the 11,000 soup kitchens and popular picnic areas throughout the country - which are run by the movements - is a complaint from both government and opposition organizations.

They warn that if the Government does not accelerate the shipment of food items, they will

directly complain to supermarkets

and food companies.

“We are noticing a worrying delay and people cannot wait.

If this situation of lack of food in the dining rooms continues, we will begin to request the

solidarity of companies and supermarkets

.

We have no other way out, ”protested on Monday

Norma Morales

, also from Barrios de Pie, a group that is accelerating its

merger with Evita

.

The demand of the groups coincides with the Government's plan to

seal a price agreement

(especially in the food sector) with the companies. 

The representatives of the pro-government and opposition movements also agree on the demand to

vaccinate the workers

of the canteens.

Minister

Daniel Arroyo

had agreed on the need to include them within the strategic staff, but time passes and

confirmation does not come

The delegates of the organizations that make up the ruling party made their voices heard on the debate about face-to-face classes.

Although they support the suspension, they warned about the

lapidary effects of the 2020 school year

for the inhabitants of the 4,400 settlements throughout the country.

There, virtuality does not exist, as reflected in the educational census they carried out.

With this precedent, they will present this week to Sergio Massa and Máximo Kirchner a bill to declare a national emergency in terms of connectivity.

They want the telecommunications companies to invest their profits in the villas and they want to deepen the ties between Enacom and the Ministry of Social Development.

Meanwhile, the official organizations that are nucleated in the

UTEP

will hold a meeting this Thursday with the Minister of Labor

Claudio Moroni

to ensure their union status.

The President received them in Olivos two weeks ago.

The CGT - Fernández's indispensable ally - is suspicious of the disembarkation of the workers of the popular economy, who participated for the second time in the Salary Council. 

In 16 months, the Government added

52 percent more

employment

plans

, but it is unable to contain the social protest.
