A report from the Federal Public Revenue Administration (AFIP), submitted in October to the Ministry of Social Development, currently preceded by Victoria Tolosa Paz, reports that at least “2,800 deceased people continue to receive the assistance plan” through family members or third parties.
This information arises from the crossing of data between the AFIP and the Ministry of Social Development. The previous minister of the aforementioned portfolio, Juan Zabaleta, had requested the collection entityon June 30, a report for statistical purposes and in a global, non-individual manner, of information on people who bought dollar savings or declared assets in the affidavits of Personal Assets.
This report, which was requested from the AFIPwas cross-linked with information from Social Development on the 1,383,279 holders of the Empower Work program and data from the collection entity. It was found that “253,184 of them (18.30%) have made a statement of assets in the sworn declarations of Personal Assets, and that 35,398 (2.56%) had made some purchase of foreign currency for savings purposes in the last 6 months”.
Minister Tolosa Paz, after a meeting with the delegation of picketers, including the Polo Obrero, said that she will immediately suspend the social plans that were granted as part of the Empower Work plan, which have been used to buy dollars.
The benefit “aims to improve employment and generate new productive proposals (…) in order to promote full social inclusion for people who are in a situation of social or economic vulnerability”. Only if you are in this situation can you collect the plan that in November reached $27,275 in consideration for four hours of work in a Management Unit (UG).
What is a UG
The Management Units (UG), are generally work cooperatives of the popular economy. The beneficiaries of the Enhance Work as well as the UG are registered in the area of the Secretary of Social Economy directed by Emilio Pérsico.
This official could be said to be playing for both teams, since he chairs the Social Economy and is also one of the leaders of a social movement, the Evita Movement, which in turn is part of the Popular Economy Workers’ Union ( UTEP).
