Organized by the Multisectorial en Defensa de la Seguridad Social, the initiative is called Jubilazo Federal and was called to demand the extension of the pension moratorium, the delivery of free medicines and an adequate attention to senior citizens, one of the sectors most affected by the strong adjustment implemented by the Government.

Among the groups that will be represented are the Central de Trabajadores de Argentina (CTA) and the CTA-Autónoma.

In this capital city, the meeting will take place at 5:30 p.m. local time, in front of the National Congress.

Recently, the Multisectoral criticized other measures of the Executive such as layoffs in the Integral Medical Care Program (PAMI).

This will lead to a worse service to the beneficiaries. The expulsions are part of a systematic plan that is expressed in the removal of medicines free of charge, the increase in their price without any control, the non-delivery of orthopedic supplies, the cessation of services of all kinds and the lack of ambulances, a statement from the organizations expresses.
