The Minister of Human Capital, Sandra Pettovello, confirmed in a press conference that the social plans will be withdrawn from those who block traffic with the picketers who organized the march to Plaza de Mayo for Wednesday. For her part, the Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrichannounced an anti-picketing protocol, to ensure that freedom of movement is respected.
The piquetero organizations presented appeals to the Court to reverse these measures, which were quickly dismissed by the courts and confirmed that they will carry out the march in downtown Buenos Aires. Meanwhile, the Ministery of security was on Tuesday organizing, together with the heads of the Federal Police, Gendarmerie, Prefecture and the City Policeheaded by Diego Kravetzthe operation and the deployment to dissuade the protesters.
The warning, repeating the motto of President Javier Milei, could be seen in the main train stations of the city of Buenos Aires. Located in the entrance halls of the Constitución and Retiro railway terminals, posters were found with the phrase “He who cuts does not get paid.”
“He who cuts does not get paid. If they are forcing you, you can report anonymously to 134”, is the warning written in the advertisements. One of the latest measures of Ministry of Human Capital was to deny any social organization, which mediates subsidies, the power to certify the provision of service. In this way, the resource that some leaders had to force the beneficiaries of social plans to participate in mobilizations, sit-ins and camps was withdrawn.
Finally, the protocol presented by Minister Bullrich establishes that action be taken against demonstrations that impede free movement or that are carried out carrying sticks or have their faces covered. In that case, “sufficient force can be used, which will be graduated depending on the resistance.” In addition, the presence of children and babies in the marches is prohibited, with parents or guardians being responsible.
