The journalist Jorge Lanata revealed in his program Periodismo Para Todos the maneuvers and pressures of social organizations to populate the marches and mobilizations.

The journalist showed how the piqueteros movements

change plans for assistance to the mobilizations

and also told how they extract resources and benefits from those who refuse to make contributions to the movements.

The report showed images of the deconcentration of

a mobilization that took place in April in San Miguel

in which a leader of

the Revolutionary Class organization

divides the protesters who participated between those who get paid and those who do not. "People who charge from this side and those who do not charge from the other side," says the leader who is organizing them in ranks.

She is helped by half a dozen people with bibs from the organization who also take the data from them.

It was not the only irregularity with the management of the social marches and the plans that they revealed in the program.

In the report they said that the owner of the "Corazones" picnic area in Lomas de Zamora denounced that a neighborhood organization, linked to the Evita Movement, kept the Alimentar plan cards that went to the dining room and that corresponded to it according to the program criteria that commands the Ministry of Social Development.

The owner of the picnic area maintained that, as they denounced the maneuver,

the organization does not register them in the Empower Work plan

and intimidate the people who go to their dining room.

According to the data revealed by PPT,

the social movements today handle 80% of the Empower Work plans.

It is a box of about 140 billion pesos annually.

From the data they presented, it was highlighted that 51% of the beneficiaries are in the Province of Buenos Aires that Axel Kicillof commands today.

The report presented by the journalist Cecilia Boufflet and the journalist Manu Jove also published the testimony of Cristian Buenazzola from the Manitos de Ángel dining room, located in Avellaneda, the district commanded by Jorge Ferraresi, today the Minister of Habitat and Housing.

Buenazzola denounced that a neighborhood group based in Barrios de Pie - which responds to the Evita Movement - took away social assistance because they refused to charge a "collaboration" for the group to those who attended the dining room.

The report also said that the plans aimed at inserting the unemployed into formal work went from 350,000 during the government of Cristina Kirchner - when it was titled Argentina Trabaja - to 470,000 under the government of Mauricio Macri.

At that time it was called We Make the Future.

The growth during the government of Alberto Fernández was exponential, they denounced in PPT.

Today there are 1,000,000 of plans within the Empower Work program.

The report also revealed that only 37% of the beneficiaries have completed secondary school and that during Fernández's administration the obligation to complete their studies to receive the plan was eliminated.

They even said that less than 30% of the beneficiaries manage to get into a formal job.

"The VIP picketers are in the Casa Rosada," said a militant from the Polo Obrero, critical of the method and of the politicians who implement it, at the end of the report.
