The organizations nucleated in Piquetera Unit (UP) will cut from 9 this Tuesday the main accesses to the City of Buenos Aires, and other neuralgic points in different parts of the country, within the framework of the “National Piquetazo”, in rejection of the suspension of almost 160,000 beneficiaries of the Empower Work program.The main interruptions to traffic from the province of Buenos Aires to the Federal Capital will occur in Puente Pueyrredón, La Noria Bridge, West Access, Pan-American Highway and La Plata-Buenos Aires Highway, organizers said. The protest is in protest of the “almost 160,000 casualties of the Empower Work plan” and the request that the registration for the renewal of benefits “can be completed in person because there are families that do not have connectivity” to the Internet, Eduardo Belliboni, a reference of the Polo Obrero, told Telam. There are no surprises, no cuts or casualties,” said the Ministry of Social Development. “Yes, there was a long process of data revalidation so that we can properly manage the allocation of the program. The holders who validated their identity in Mi Argentina and meet the requirements of the program were not suspended, “explained spokesmen of the portfolio led by Victoria Tolosa Paz.And in sense, they said: “The 154,441 holders who have not yet made the validation, will be paid 50% of the amount corresponding to the month of January. However, they still have the instance ‘validation after the deadline’ that will be evaluated by the Secretary of Social Economy and to date 20,157 people have already made the claim. ” However, Belliboni ratified the protests and assured that the sector he refers to “did not get answers” from the Ministry of Social Development about the casualties due to the lack of registration in the Mi Argentina application, as requested by the national government. In a statement it was explained that there will also be “cuts of access, routes and bridges in more than 130 points in the 24 provinces.” Belliboni urged that the Ministry of Social Development make a “review of the registration procedure,” since, he insisted, there are families that receive the plan that “do not have the resources or connectivity” to meet that requirement.
