In the campaign and while discussions with the IMF continue, they return to demand a fixed sum

In the middle of the electoral campaign, and while negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) continue, Kirchnerism again demanded this Friday a fixed sum for the workers. After clarifying that these are not “capricious discussions” or untimely proposals, the mayor of Quilmes, Mayra Mendoza, again demanded the implementation of this measure. I think the lump sum, I argue, has to exist. It is a time when the evidence of the reality of the workers deserves a fixed sum. It’s not something that has much chance of being discussed or seen as something negative,” he said during an interview with FM Futuröck. The issue is being debated again at a time when the Ministry of Economy negotiates a new agreement with the IMF to strengthen the program and increase the reserves of the Central Bank.Sure that the international organization “conditions many of the decisions” of the Government, Mendoza said that “we have to find a way for Argentina to grow, generate foreign exchange, take redistribution measures, recover wages, we can comply with the negotiations to which we are subjected and improve the quality of life of the people.” We have to align pensions, wages, tariffs, food prices. That’s what gives you order so that a family can plan and live as we all need,” he added. The candidacy of Sergio MassaConvinced that “having a candidate of unity orders”, the reference of La Cámpora highlighted the “commitment for the country” that Massa showed when he assumed the head of the Ministry of Economy in the midst of the crisis unleashed by the departure of Martín Guzmán. And his subsequent “will” to be a pre-candidate for president of Union for the Fatherland. Faced with so much speculation, of ‘I look at what I do to see how I look’, he assumed to take charge of something that was and is very difficult, and above want, or show, intentions and have the will to be our candidate for president … I value that attitude very much and I think it is making an enormous effort,” he said. They talk about how he really has a commitment to that country and that is valued.” Mayra Mendoza with the Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa.The focus on electoral participationIn another section of the report, Mayra Mendoza analyzed the results of the 17 provincial elections that were held so far. And he noted that some data show “the democratic dissatisfaction” that Vice President Cristina Kirchner once mentioned. In that regard, he noted the low participation and growth of blank votes. “There are people who are choosing not to go or go and vote blank.” The challenge that we have the progressive forces, Peronists, who militate the ideas of Nestor, of Cristina, of his work of government, we have to demonstrate to our society that we are capable, that a present State is fundamental for the development of Argentina, “he said. At the same time, he asked the leaders of his space to “get out of the analysis and diagnosis to contact with the people” to “address the problems of the population.”
