The Cordoba Legislature’s Constitutional Affairs Commission is working on a project that seeks to regulate protests and pickets in the streets of the city. The initiative was presented by the legislator Juan Manuel Cid, belonging to the Coalition We Do for Cordova.
The project provincial has strong sanctions for non-compliance and excesses on public roads, one of these sanctions and the most controversial is the removal of social plans in the province of Cordova. For this, it boasts of the Provincial Coexistence Code that establishes that preventing free movement on the streets constitutes a crime.
It is in this way that the rule begins to list the reasons why social plans would be withdrawn from Cordovaranging from attacks against hygiene on public roads, complicating road safety and the normal development of traffic, to altering order and social peace.
The proposal, which has not yet been approved, comes from an escalation of demonstrations and pickets that increased last week: “the guild of municipal employees of the capital, the SUOEM (Union Union of Municipal Workers and Employees), made a series of street cuts that led to a police deployment of 500 troops, ”they indicate from a Cid statement.
“At least 20 protests were carried out in the same number of distributions that paralyzed the activity and generated innumerable traffic problems in the city,” the text explains and continues: “Street demonstrations involving street closures and invasion of public spaces cannot be tolerated. This plan comes at a time of constant tension between the SUOEM union and the municipality of Cordova”.
And it ends with: “no one can question the constitutional right to petition the authorities. In any case, the existence of this right cannot imply the attainment of others of the same hierarchy, such as working and moving freely”.
Which plans will be removed and which will not
According to one of the reports, “there is currently a network of 182 social assistance programs and many of them are charged simultaneously.” Then, Cid alleges that a person could receive aid of up to $173,000 per month.
The amounts that will be suspended will be used to create an exclusive fund for trade training.
On the other hand, it is explained that “any subsidy, benefit, economic benefit and/or social plan received from the Provincial State They will be suspended or discharged by the competent authority. And in addition, those people whose subsidy falls on minor children or people with disabilities are excepted.
