After the encampment in front of the headquarters of the Ministry of Social Development, in rejection of the cessation of the almost 160,000 plans of the Potenciar Trabajo program, the leftist piquetero groups will carry out a new measure next Friday and threaten more extensive measures.

by Eduardo Belliboni, leader of the Polo Obrero, who also announced that on Wednesday they will release a harsh statement

"responding to the lies and slander" of Minister Victoria Tolosa Paz.

"We didn't have any more contact with Development and the minister looks more and more like Patricia Bullrich," the piquetero leader chided, when comparing the official with the president of the PRO.

On Friday, March 3, the UP will hold a national piquetero plenary.

In this regard, Belliboni told this medium that they will carry out

"progressive actions with longer camps",

together with "a Federal march", among other measures. 

The piquetero organizations ask that the suspensions of the almost 160,000 beneficiaries be lifted.

The national government hardened its position against the piqueteros.

After the last protest, the Minister of Social Development did not receive a delegation of leaders, who, before raising the tents, left a note, where in addition to the claim for the casualties of Empowering Work, they demanded an "increase in the amount of the programs

" and "comprehensive assistance to soup kitchens."

On Sunday, Tolosa Paz redoubled the questions against the UP and in particular against Belliboni, whom he pointed out again for being the "main face of a form of extortion."

In addition, he insisted on the existing complaints from program beneficiaries, which point to some organizations for charging for "intermediation."

"No picket, no camp, will reverse a measure such as not paying the Potenciar Trabajo to those who have not complied with a rule that is in the program and which is the validation of biometric data to be certain who is charging on the other side," he warned. the official in radio statements.


From the ministerial headquarters, they maintain that there are currently 56 on-site Digital Validation points operating in the CDRs (Reference Centers), where the 154,441 holders who have not yet carried out the validation can do so through the "late validation" instance. which will be evaluated by the Ministry of Social Economy.

To date, 55,625 people have already made the claim, 36.02% of the total suspensions.
