Alberto Fernández announced on Tuesday a bonus of
up to 5,000 pesos
for retirees, to be collected until August.
"We all know that we have an
inflationary problem to solve
, we are concerned about those who play with prices. And we are concerned about those who play with the situation of retirees," explained the President, at a ceremony in Lomas de Zamora.
"We do not want retirees to be the
adjustment variable,
" he remarked.
He assured that, after his inauguration, "in a very critical situation", with "this
perverse inflation that we have inherited."
In that sense, he said that the objective is for "retirees to live with dignity."
"They are people who worked a lifetime. During a lifetime they earned the right to a dignified and happy life," he added.
"An ethical society is one that always thanks the elderly for what they have done and gives them the recognition they deserve."
And he asserted: "I promise you that
until the last day
of my government I will work so that you have the protection you deserve."

In another section, he valued the management in the purchase of vaccines against the coronavirus and assured that the Government passed "the first wave with the same tranquility that I have today: no Argentine lacked the medical attention they deserved."
He was accompanied by Governor Axel Kicillof;
the mayor Martín Insaurralde;
the director of the ANSeS, Fernanda Raverta;
and the head of PAMI, Luana Volnovich, in a ceremony in Lomas de Zamora.
Gabriel Katopodis, Minister of Public Works, was also present.
Except for the provincial president, all of them appear as
possible candidates
of the Frente de Todos in the Province of Buenos Aires for the 2021 legislative elections.
After a presentation made by Insaurralde, Volnovich
read a letter
to Alberto Fernández, signed by "the PAMI team."

"Although we went through the worst misfortune of the century, no major was left by the side of the road: Alberto protected them," he said about the pandemic.
In a similar vein, Raverta expressed himself: "The new mobility law updates salaries every three months. Look if it was important that it was the first decree that Alberto signed, on January 3."
Kicillof: "The spill is from the bottom up"
In turn, Kicillof crossed over to the "previous neoliberal government" and assured that these "indirect contributions and salaries" will translate into "a purchase, more employment, more production."
"It was promised to recover the purchasing power, but above all to end the stage in which the retirees were the adjustment variable. Someone who does not have the ability to express it, then they are the wedding ducks," said the Buenos Aires president.
"
If there is a spill, it is from the bottom up
," said the governor, alluding to the spill theory.
