Leftist piquetero organizations continued this Friday with a I camped on the Buenos Aires avenue 9 de Julioin front of the Ministry of Social Development, as part of a protest plan that began on Wednesday and will last until this Friday in call for more assistance for community kitchens and job creation.

The protest, with the installation of tents, extends along 9 de Julio from Avenida de Mayo to Avenida San Juan, which prevents vehicular passage through the area and blocks the Metrobús.

At dawn, members of these organizations began a cleaning operation in the camping area and at night, popular artists performed at the venue and sympathized with the protesters.

Last Monday, the Minister of Social Development, John Zabaletareceived leaders from the Piquetera Unit, with whom he agreed that “they will present a plan of labor activities for holders of the Enhance Work” and a “reinforcement of food policies” will be implemented.

Nevertheless, there was no agreement on the registration of new social plans and that the suspension of the collection of benefits received by two people who were arrested for throwing stones at Congress be lifted when in the Chamber of Deputies the project was debated in agreement with the IMF.

“The real problem of unemployment, of the lack of work and food in the neighborhoods, that is, poverty, which is growing, is not going to be solved with Zabaleta’s proposals,” Eduardo Molina, a referent of the Tendencia Pole, explained to Télam.

According to the leader, “there are much higher unemployment rates” and the State’s response “is not enough to cover the 17 million poor people in the last rate given by INDEC.”

“We want to discuss real work, the implementation of a housing plan to cover the housing deficit that would create jobs and the transfer to the plant of hundreds of colleagues who have programs and are doing homework,” Molina completed.

The protesters are members of the Polo Obrero, MTR-Votamos Luchar, CUBA-MTR, the National Piquetero Bloc, the Armando Conciencia Group and the November 17 Organization and the Territorial Movement (MTL-Rebelde).

For their part, more than 2,000 members of piquetero organizations from Jujuy they held another camp in the center of San Salvador de Jujuy and mobilized at the Misdemeanor Court in rejection of the records drawn up by the police and against the criminalization of social protest, sources from these organizations reported.

The demonstrators camped in front of the local headquarters of the Ministry of Social Development but they evacuated the place after receiving intimations from the police. “The Piquetero Unit of Jujuy decided to mobilize the Contraventional Court 1 in repudiation of the persecution of (Governor Gerardo) Morales against those who go out to complain,” said the leader of the Partido Obrero in Jujuy, Iñaki Aldasoro, who added that this afternoon Friday the organizations are going to mobilize towards the local Legislature “against the government’s announcements” at the opening of ordinary sessions.

On Neuquen social organizations blocked the center of that city with a camp that they maintained from Wednesday afternoon, within the framework of a national day of struggle to demand genuine work and the supply of picnic and dining rooms.

“We are demanding here, as in all places in Argentina, the possibility of having a genuine job,” Luis Ramírez, leader of the Polo Obrero (PO), said in a dialogue with the press, in relation to the forceful measure that began the Thursday, at the monument to San Martín, together with the CTEP, the FOL and the Darío Santillán Popular Front.
