Argentina Press Release 1665 “Wednesday of Retirees”

In recent days the national Executive has made it much clearer about who it governs. The suspension of food shipments to canteens, the withdrawal of resources from the provinces intended to subsidize the value of public passenger transportation, the shameless maneuver in complicity with business associations to avoid modifying, even minimally, the minimum wage, vital and mobile are some of the measures that define the true objectives of Milei and his band.

To all of the above we must add the attitude towards retirees. It is clear that this sector has been chosen by the government as a privileged recipient of the adjustment. Assets frozen after months of very high inflation, uncertainty about how the income of millions of people will be determined and everything done with the idea that pension resources will be used to pay the immoral, illegitimate and illegal external debt contracted mainly with the IMF by Macri. and for the financial speculator Luis Caputo, the Minister of Economy, to express with impunity together with the President of the Nation his satisfaction with the reduction of the famous fiscal deficit to which we must add his intention to take over the FGS. While they laugh in our faces, they carry out a true political-economic plan that we could describe as gerontocide. Despite the harsh reality described above from the Coordinating Table of Retirement and Pensioner Organizations of the R.A. We hold high our fundamental historical banners such as, among others, the creation of a new public, pay-as-you-go, solidarity-based and intergenerational Pension System led and administered by active and retired workers with a minority presence of the State as guarantor. of the same. We maintain the same in the case of the normalization of the INSSJP-PAMI. Immediately we understand that we must fight strongly and unitarily against the policies of this government in pension matters, demanding in turn the immediate setting of the minimum asset in the amount equivalent to the Basic Basket for an older adult calculated by the Ombudsman for the Elderly. of CABA. Finally, we call on all organizations and sectors of retirees and pensioners, as well as unions and labor centers, trade union and social organizations, to carry out a plan of struggle that stops and pushes back the government and its express allies and those hidden in their desire to destroy the working class and the people as a whole.

EMERGENCY INCREASE, NOW!!! NO TO THE DNU AND THE OMNIBUS LAW OR ANY NEW VARIANT!!! ONLY THE PEOPLE WILL SAVE THE PEOPLE!!!
