He Government of Argentina confirmed this Monday that those beneficiaries of social plans who attend protest marches will stop receiving that state aid and affirmed that the Executive will seek to eliminate the intermediation of social organizations for the granting of those subsidies.
“The only ones who are not going to receive the plan are those who go to the march and block the street. The president already said it (Javier Milei): “He who cuts does not get paid”warned the Minister of Human Capital, Sandra Pettovello, in a recorded message.
With a view to the protest called for December 20 by social movements and left-wing parties, the minister pointed out that, although demonstrating is a right, it is also “respect the right of people to move freely.”
“All those who have promoted, instigated, organized or participated in the cuts will lose all types of dialogue with the Ministry of Human Capital”Petovello warned.
