Participants in the demonstration will denounce the government’s refusal to deliver food stored for months to entities in charge of supporting vulnerable people, and demand the end of the adjustment implemented by President Javier Milei; accessible health and retirement coverage for members of UTEP; and a food law that allows the creation of an emergency fund to care for the most vulnerable in a society where poverty exceeds 52 percent and indigence is close to 20 percent.

The Ministry of Economy recently announced that, starting in October, those registered in the social monotribute must begin to pay 50 percent of the cost of social work themselves.

As explained by the Página 12 newspaper, the category is used by independent workers with lower incomes, that is, by members of cooperatives of the popular economy or entrepreneurs, as well as by those who receive help from some program.
