In a press conference at the Casa Rosada, the spokesperson stated that This measure will affect all temporary employees of the Federal Administration and those of various public entities in Argentina.and that only workers in state companies and companies will be excluded.
Review of Argentina’s social plans
Regarding social plans, the Argentine Executive will begin the audit of more than one million social plans and predicts, based on calculations from judicial investigations, that 160,000 beneficiaries could be receiving these aid in an “irregular” manner.
According to the spokesperson, These plans would have a total value of 10,000 million Argentine pesos (US$12.45 million). “Argentines should not be responsible for this money,” Adorni emphasized.
The objective of the Argentine Government is “to make the system transparent, to ensure that those who need it are paid and that (the social plans) stop functioning as a business for intermediaries and the heads of social organizations.”
