Since last week, different Social Organizations Together with the Central de Trabajadores de la Argentina Autónoma (CTAA), they announced that this Wednesday, July 20, they will carry out a great march throughout the country.
The movements they demand a universal basic salary, in addition to “urgent solutions for the critical situation of the working class and the people in general”, according to the Social Organizations.
In addition, the Social Organizations require a “General salary increase for public, private and retired employees of the minimum and bonus for the Work Potential”.
Consequently, this Wednesday, from 10:00 am, marches will be held throughout the country. In addition, there will be a large concentration in the Puente Pueyrredón, district of Avellaneda, in the province of Buenos Aires.
Additionally, the movements are scheduled to carry out mobilizations on more than 50 routes throughout the country, to demand a response from the Government to their claims, so their measure of force will include roadblocks, street assemblies and mobilizations, as detailed.
The call is led by the Autonomous CTA, La Poderosa, OLP, Movement of Excluded Workers (MTE), Darío Santillán Popular Front, Nuestramerica and the Piquetero Party, among other organizations.
The measure was taken, after the assemblies convened by the movements last week in popular neighborhoods and in different rural areas of the country. With the protest, they will also demand: “the reduction of the working day at the request of formal salaried workers.”
What the Government says about the protests
In this regard, the Minister of Social Development Juan Zabaleta stated that the organizations they did not request any type of meeting with the government and pointed out that “every time they have requested meetings, we have come together”.
The minister also indicated that the protests began after the government made the decision not to give more “registrations to promote work and convert that program into productive projects where civil society organizations, not just social organizations, bring projects closer”.
