The picketers will protest again this Wednesday and a new chaotic day
is expected to mobilize through the Buenos Aires Center
, due to the columns of militants and the promise of camping.
Starting at 3:00 p.m.
, the columns of militants will begin to gather at two points: Avenida Independencia and 9 de Julio, and in the vicinity of the Obelisk.
From there
they will move to the Ministry of Social Development
, located on Avenida 9 de Julio, between Moreno and Belgrano, where they will set up their tents.
The call
is to request the cessation of the 160,000 suspensions to the beneficiaries of the Potenciar Trabajar plan,
after an audit carried out by Minister Victoria Tolosa Paz.
"The UP is not willing to accept that people in a state of almost total vulnerability are the victims of this adjustment. We demand that all adjustments to those who have less be suspended, that programs be opened for those who need it, and that the miserable amount charged by colleagues who have an Enhance Job", they expressed through a statement.
The organizations will camp in the surroundings of Social Development.

The new protest
comes a few days after the "national picketing"
, where the piquetero organizations kept the main accesses to the City of Buenos Aires interrupted to demand that the Government annul the suspension of the 154,441 beneficiaries of the Empowering Work plan.
From the Ministry of Social Development they issued a harsh response against the new protest of the UP and defended the audit on the beneficiaries of the program and the validation process, which led to the suspension of almost 160,000 plans during February.
“It is a pity that we have to continue witnessing extortion as a society.
Unfortunately, they already know that in this Ministry things are done differently," ministerial sources said.
In addition, they specified that of the 154,441 holders who have not yet carried out the validation, to date there are 55,625 people who have already made the corresponding claim, 36.02% of the total suspensions.
"There are 56 management premises that are located in different parts of the country and are made up of professional teams that work jointly with provincial and municipal governments, organizations and social movements," they said from the portfolio led by Minister Tolosa Paz.
In January, the Government terminated the plans for plan holders who did not validate their identity in Mi Argentina, for which the total benefit was suspended and in February they collected 50% of the corresponding amount.
After the suspensions, from Social Development they ordered an instance of "validation after the deadline", which must be evaluated by the Social Economy Secretariat.
