With the aim of eliminating the intermediation of social organizations
, the Government decided to transform the social megaplan that today assists 1.3 million people: the Ministry of Human Capital itself will be in charge of
segmenting it into two new programs
- one aimed at promoting access to the labor market for the beneficiaries and another to contain the most vulnerable sectors - which would begin to operate next week.
President
Javier Milei
published decree No. 565 that creates the
"Back to Work" and "Social Accompaniment"
programs that, according to the official story, "rethinks social integration policies" in Argentina.
The regulation
, in fact, disengages the complementary social salary from the evolution of the minimum wage
because it grants Minister
Sandra Pettovello
the power to set, in a subsequent regulation, the amounts of income that the beneficiaries will receive.
Although it seeks to make
a policy more efficient that, through Empower Work, only managed to ensure that 1.3% of the beneficiaries managed to access formal employment
, the ruling party also tries with this measure to expel the picketing groups from the system. of assistance that gave birth to the crisis of 2001.
The thing is that in recent weeks
the Government not only established line 134 to denounce possible "tightening"
of social leaders but is now
betting on emptying them of power by removing their influence in the management of the brand new programs.

Social and left-wing organizations challenged Patricia Bullrich's protocol.
There were clashes with the Police when they tried to occupy the street.
The bond between the parties has been extremely tense since it was the left-wing piquetero groups and those referenced in Peronism that made the repudiation of the LLA's policies most felt on the streets.
From Capital Humano they claim that
they were able to verify the alleged intermediation of the so-called "poverty managers" when the requirement of presence in the Potenciar management units was eliminated
, so the "orgas" lost the capacity to "manage and monitor the attendance" of the beneficiaries.
The supposed "carrot" offered by the current reform is that beneficiaries will be able to keep the plan allocation - about $80,000 - and, at the same time, collect income for up to three minimum wages ($540,000) for other types of tasks.
The problem, as always, lies in the access of cooperative members to formal work.
The fact is that each government that takes office in Casa Rosada usually changes the name of the current social megaplan and the accessibility conditions.
What changes with the current reform is that the Executive immerses itself fully in the dispute over the intermediation of the social aid that the piqueteros movements had been exercising.
According to reports,
"mechanisms" will be used to reduce the "discretionary management"
of resources by the management units led by social leaders.
In Human Capital they emphasize that during UP's management
these entities managed about US$34 million annually
with the objective of carrying out courses and other activities that, according to the official review, "were not effective in promoting employability or generating employment." ".
The "attendance forms" will also be eliminated and participation will be given to the delegations of the Secretariats of Labor and Children and Family in the provinces and to the municipalities themselves.
However,
the highest official expectations are placed on "Return to Work", aimed at people up to 49 years old, who represent 75% of the universe of beneficiaries
.
The initiative aims, according to a draft accessed by this newspaper, to "strengthen work skills and improve employability, with the ultimate goal of incorporating these individuals into the formal labor market."
You will have a "personal and direct monetary allocation", not specified,
although in principle it would be equivalent to the complementary social salary with the possibility of adding other income.
The other program is aimed at supporting vulnerable sectors - people over 50 and mothers of 4 or more children -
with workshops to improve "family organization" but also with training to promote entrepreneurship in the so-called "solidarity economy".
It will also have nominalized "monetary and non-monetary benefits"
in order to avoid possible "triangulations" of social organizations.
Minister
Pettovello
will be in charge of designing
"the operating regulations" for each program
, which will include the procedures and requirements and, surely, will define the income amounts.
The friend of the President will be advised by
Pablo de la Torre, head of Children and Family
, in relation to the plan to accompany families and by
Omar Yasin, Secretary of Labor
, in the initiative that will try to integrate almost a million people into the market labor.
It will not be necessary to re-register the members of the social megaplan since it will be the portfolio itself that segments both initiatives with the existing databases.
