2023-02-07T13:50:30.921Z


The central column of the piqueteros will be located on the Pueyrredón Bridge. In addition, there will be protests in more than a hundred points in the country.


The

piquetero

movements began to gather from 9 in the morning at

the five access points to the City of Buenos Aires

, where on Tuesday they again protested against the 160,000 suspensions of the Empowering Work plans in what they called "National Piquetazo".

The

central head

of the Piquetera Unit, which brings together different organizations, began to gather in the vicinity of the Darío Santillán and Maximiliano Kosteki (former Avellaneda) station, and mobilized to the

Pueyrredón Bridge

where they installed themselves in front of a Federal Police cordon. .

The organizers promise that the mobilization will be "massive", for which the authorities deployed a special operation of security forces, which from early on were installed in the surroundings of the cuts.

The columns of the Polo Obrero, Barrios de Pie-Libres del Sur, MST Teresa Vive, among others, will also make cuts at other points: La Noria Bridge, West Access - RN 7, Pan-American Highway and La Plata-Buenos Aires Highway.

The "National Piquetazo" will generate complications to access the Capital, but also complications to circulate through Buenos Aires transit.

At noon, the picketers will hold an assembly to define the duration of the measure.

The central claim of the organizations is for the Government to annul the suspension of the 154,441 beneficiaries of the Potenciar Trabajo plan from receiving the subsidy.

"

There is a lot of anger

because there has been an arbitrary data validation mechanism, a kind of virtual audit, which is a contradiction because they must be in person," Eduardo Belliboni said on Tuesday.

The leader of the Polo Obrero, one of the central groups of the UP, questioned the Minister of Social Development, Victoria Tolosa Paz, for carrying out an "adjustment" of the plans at the request of the International Monetary Fund and for not opening dialogue with the groupings.

"The idea is to affect sectors that are stigmatized, they totally install the idea that 'it doesn't matter if they cancel the plans, it doesn't affect me,'" added the leader.

The groups ask that Social Development put face-to-face points to validate the data of the people who could not do the virtual process, but they also request a meeting with Minister Tolosa Paz.


Another protest in the court area

Political and union organizations will carry out a "flyer" on Tuesday denouncing an alleged persecution by the Justice against Vice President Cristina Kirhcner, and also to support the request for impeachment of the members of the Supreme Court.

Under the motto "Macrista justice persecutes and proscribes Cristina", the groups related to Kirchnerism will carry out this protest in the vicinity of the Court area, between 11 am and 1 pm.

As reported, this activity will be "the first of an agenda of actions" and will be carried out mainly in the vicinity of Plaza Lavalle where the Courts and the Palace of Justice are located, as well as "in other parts of the City", as announced organizers.
