Argentines to denounce the effects of government measures

Argentina-Barrios-de-Pie-500x376
Buenos Aires, Jan 5 (Prensa Latina) Members of the Somos Barrios de Pie group will denounce the effects of the measures applied by the Government of Argentina with a protest in front of the hotel where President Javier Milei is staying.

The participants in the demonstration will speak out against the serious situation in the communities.

“Hunger does not wait! We will continue to make visible the lack of food in community kitchens due to the responsibility of the Ministry of Human Capital,” the organization stated, and explained that the demonstration was called after not receiving responses from Minister Sandra Pettovello.

At the end of December, the group held a similar protest in front of the Ministry in rejection of the adjustment plan implemented by the country’s leadership, which “significantly aggravated the situation with the excessive increase in the prices of the food products basic basket”.

Inflation, the 118 percent devaluation of the Argentine peso, uncontrolled price increases and the lack of policies to contain them, generate difficulties for thousands of families, the group said in a message posted on X. “This context puts us on alert regarding the possible growth of malnutrition and malnutrition in humble neighborhoods,” it added.
