Lali gathers many of the things that Milei hates and systematically attacks: she is a young woman, a popular and feminist artist who criticizes him openly for his anti -democratic and antipopular policies. Choose her as an enemy, just as her international friends have done Trump (against Taylor Swift) or Bolsonaro (against Pablo Vittar), for example.

He attacks her looking to justify her brutal adjustment and blame him for the miseries that the people live and that he deepens every minute: Lali "Deposit" charged several governments. So the question is, are you willing to finance those expenses against the VAT that takes the food to the Chaco boys? He said with total Milei cynicism in an "interview" in LN+.

He attacks her aggressively seeking to discipline the youth rebellion that is opposed every day, as she was perceived in the Cosquín Rock, where artists like her and Dillom gave a clear message against the government: Lali dedicated her songs to the "Antipatria" and those who say she "lives from the State." Dillom, on the other hand, sang the song “Mr. Collection ”from the hands of Filippi (popularized by the Bersuit) with a change in a verse:“ I move here, I move there. To Caputo, in the square, they have to kill him. ” Both artists were acclaimed by the present public.

A month earlier, the Racing stadium had already vibrated in the four recitals of the rang to the song of: “And already sees it, and already sees it. He who does not jump, voted to Milei. ”

There's no money?

For Milei the State does not have to spend money on cultural events. Neither in health, nor in public education. Nor in food to popular dining rooms, medications and increases in retirement. Not to mention guaranteeing accessible transport and subsidies to services for the most impoverished sectors. So what does the State have to spend? For him, in the payment of illegitimate debts such as the IMF, in subsidies to related entrepreneurs such as Galperín (Mercado Libre), Caputo (Mirgor Group), Hoffman (BGH) and Cherñajovsky (Newsan) and other monopolies, banks and landowners that we They remove 4.9% of GDP (according to the 2023 Budget Law, this is the value of everything that is not collected due to the exemptions granted).

His attempt to eliminate the National Arts Fund, the Theater Law, the National Institute of Music, the INCAA, with the defeated Bus Law and the DNU shows their interest in collapsing national policies in culture. This goes in tune with its plans of an ultra cupayo country model, without control of its resources, without national companies, without its own currency and cultural policy.

Indiscipline

But once again, although the "lion" is strong, it shows weakness: the broad solidarity and popular support to Lali did not wait with hundreds of messages of references of the national culture by banning it and defending freedom of expression .

It is not only an act of support towards her as an artist, but also a firm rejection of the attempts of censorship and repression that threaten even more democratic freedoms.

But, as it has been demonstrated in the streets of the country, this town does not shrink before the adjustment roars of the vessels that today have power and, without a doubt, they will lose it.

Forgive me but I am so, / I don't know why / I know there are others too / that someone must be, / that prefer the rebellion to live suffering.

The permanent attacks of the Government of Milei and its henchmen who question their policy of emptying and refinancing of public and private cultural institutions of long experience and international recognition, and to whom they criticize government ignorance about the functioning and cultural management cause discouragement, uneasiness , fear and anger.

His fierce offensive against Lali Espósito has no limits. While that of "La Operara" and her vice denounce that the young singer is hired with "the state", shut up and hide that the municipality of Mar del Plata pays 50 million pesos for a couple of emissions of "the Legrand and her granddaughter ”, in that city. Thus riding a media show in the networks hide the underlying problem: the destruction of the country.

Many are the artists, actors, filmmakers, scientists, researchers who are concerned about the present and future of our culture and education and critic Risk hundreds of thousands of jobs in different areas in each of the provinces.

Thus they have manifested from Peteco Carabajal, Dillom, divided, Babasónicos, Molotov and many others.

Our culture expresses the identity and feeling deeper of our people and has a long history sown by various ethnic and aesthetic contributions.

When with maneuvers of this type it is tried to discipline and submit to the people, “from the foot” is mobilized, from the deepest support and reaction against these authoritarian and impoverishing forms that through the control of the State want to impose a vision and vision and A course contrary to national interests.

In all provinces, in each cultural, scientific, sports event, in the neighborhood assemblies and in each corner the pronouncements of repudiation and struggle of our culture that do not surrender grow.

Impossible to analyze the mistakes made in that period [1973] without taking into account the errors of leftist opportunism encouraged by international and national conditions. But the problem of ours at that time was not to lift those slogans, because until a few days before the elections of March 1973 the country was booked to the edge of the rupture of the electoral process and a possible output of the insurrectional type, or coup followed by Insurrectional bursts. Our problem was, in any case, not having done what Mao recommends before each battle the ninety -nine possibilities about one hundred of being defeated and preparing for them while we strongly raised the way to succeed. We were not able to articulate, along with our revolutionary exit proposal, an adaptation to the electoral path that had already been imposed.

There are those who say "we were wrong, we should have participated in the elections." I agree that we should have prepared for the electoral exit, but one thing is this and another to abandon the slogan of a triumphant Argentina replacing it with an electoral slogan. The struggle for a revolutionary mouth of the process that had begun with the establishment of the dictatorship in 1966 is a correct struggle.

Now, due to inexperience-it can also be said, due to sufficient mastery of Marxism-Leninism-and for an ultra-left deviation, we did not know how to adapt that slogan in instruments that allow us to have a participation of another type in the elections of 73. But In our balances of that period we understood that the main error of all that current of the left in which the PCR was coming and that it was at the base of ultra -leftism, was on the one hand the non -clarity about the transformation of the USSR and, on the other, The idea that the triumph of the revolution was easy and fast. And this was not possible because there was no revolutionary party, because it had been degraded and useless in practice by the betrayal of the leader of the PC. And this party was not going to be created so easy; Neither as a simple byproduct of the organization of a group armed with twenty guerrillas in the countryside, nor as an organizational echo of the armed propaganda actions of urban terrorism, nor as a result of three or four tactical slogans appropriate to the political time. Experience was going to demonstrate that the creation of a revolutionary force capable of directing a revolutionary process like those years in Argentina was going to be a very long and complex process. Unfortunately, the experience shows, as Lenin said, that the new generations of combatants have the predisposition and the tendency not to study, therefore, to forget or not take into account the experience of the previous generations. The same thing happened to us, so they could have fun with that new left the old mefistopheles of revisionism, which knowing well the clearingers where others had shot, were pushing us towards them.

- Until the end of the dictatorship of Lanusse you were mixed - although to the elbows - in the swarm of groups of the revolutionary “new left”, most of whose directions would end up being controlled by Moscow via Havana. But in the brief period between the 1973 presidential elections and the coup d'etat of 1976, the PCR will make decisive adjustments in its line that will make it an absolutely independent, unique and unmistakable expression of Argentine politics. How was that transit of the blank vote to the defense of the government of Mrs. Isabel Perón?

- For Perón's return in 1972 we made an adjustment. We had opened the fight against the theory of dependent capitalism that as we already saw, denied in block the work with the national bourgeoisie, etc. And in November of 72 we participated in the columns that went to receive Perón with an independent position, of unity and struggle with the Peronist masses. That was a very big change. Then they acted very powerful forces to get out of that course.

With regard to this I take a reflection on the history of the PC. There are some issues that seem to be similar, or that, maybe, as Gramsci would say, are laws of the development of communist parties. The PC was born in 18 and only in 1928 defined the character of the revolution in Argentina with the help of the international. It took ten years.

In those ten years they also had a left line. In practice they formulated a revolutionary approach of the socialist type of start and took ten more years to define who friends and enemies were from the strategic point of view and clarify the issue of what each political party represents and each political figure and each political figure .

The discovery of friends and enemy classes demands a social economic study, as Mao says in his analysis of Chinese society. Determined classes, the problem of what are the political positions of these classes is subtracted; of the bourgeoisie, of the little bourgeoisie, of the little liberal bourgeoisie, of the small nationalist bourgeoisie. And determined in a country like Argentina, where there is a fierce dispute between different imperialist forces, there is another problem, that of knowledge of what the different political figures express. On his deficiencies in this knowledge, the PC, in 1930, was self -criticized in the elbow self -criticism.

The practice was teaching that the frontmen, the representatives of certain powers, the economic groups change. In Argentine politics there are many Free Lancers, as they say now, many mercenaries who work for the best bidder, or surprisingly change their employers. This is the case of these men who from nowhere become great figures of national political life, having their own capital.

And there are union leaders. For Sample Vale Jorge Triaca: First he was an employee of the plastic guild who soon had it for a man of the Panam company; Later, thanks to “the savings” of his mother -in real estate business. This "own capital" is also composed of political, military and businesswoman relations, which becomes part of the ruling classes.

These Free Lancers mercenaries exist in all dependent and colonial countries. That is why Chou Enlai, when he talks about the single front in China, refers to this point. Sometimes those testaferros change abruptly position because they change pattern, and says Chou enlai that cause great confusion.

What we always did was to place ourselves from the side of the working class and the town, take the struggles for their claims, fight against the dictatorship of Onganía, of Levingston, of Lanusse. Now, for this fight to be successful, more than that is required. All these analysis and knowledge of the classes, their political figures, the testaferros, etc. are required etc. This carries a process, and in it we made many mistakes, because sometimes we were easily induced to deception ...

We had constituted the anti -imperialist Revolutionary Front (FR) with communist avant -garde and some personalities. VC was pushing a line that led us to inoperative ultraizism; He raised the slogan "wins who wins, loses the people", states with which we did not agree. Therefore, on May 25, 1973, when the new government assumes, we were in the square, after an express discussion in which we decided to go without posters or badges. But we participate with the Peronist masses and other leftist sectors of all the events that happened that day, such as the release of the prisoners of the dictatorship.

Tandil, province of Buenos Aires

On Saturday 17, in "El Laurel" by Tandil, we made the tribute and toast to Otto Vargas. Overcoming difficulties, companions of the PCR and the JCR, of the CCC and the FNC, of the University, of sports organizations and the diversity, of the FADE and others, we honor the life and work of Otto Vargas, which at the head of the PCR He was always at the service of the humble and oppressed, fighting a liberating and revolutionary exit for our people and our homeland.

In the toast, comrade Esteban Lucero reaffirmed our commitment to follow his legacy, to face today the most reactionary and fascist sector of the ruling classes, which with Milei at the head governs us, joining the Tandile people to defend the conquered, fight to fight for what is missing and advance in a liberating path.

Talk organized by the JCR de Rosario

Within the framework of the five years of the departure of Otto Vargas, first general secretary of our beloved revolutionary communist party, a talk was held on Friday 16 in Rosario a talk that had as its protagonists the last three general secretaries of the revolutionary communist youth: Luciano Orellano (2005-2010); Pablo Landó (2010-2016) and Luciano Álvarez (from 2016 to the present), who shared their experiences and learning together with him, fundamental today for the fight against the antipopular and anti-national policy of the government of Javier Milei.

On September 3, 1929 in Choele Choel, Río Negro, the most rebel of all was born: Otto César Vargas.

The tribute was also present in the great work of his works written at a table that gathered all literature materials.

Luciano Orellano, the first to direct the word, emphasized the life and work of Otto and the importance of having traveled those countries of the world in which the socialist revolutions had triumphed - who would visit Germany with him in 2006 - and in the great Outto's transcendence as a picture of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism at the international level. He also mentioned Patriots such as General San Martín, Mariano Moreno, Juana Azurduy, Manuel Belgrano, José Gervasio Artigas and spoke of Otto's integration with Argentine reality, which cannot be understood without a deep knowledge of our history and our reality . He stressed that Otto was the son of a generation that saw how the Red Army defeated the Nazis and nailed the red flag. The living experience that all our action is a cry of war against imperialism. And he concluded that "Otto is a need for every day, of all those who want to find the path of the revolution in Argentina."

Pablo Landó, in turn, stressed that Otto was fully convinced of the importance of the study and that the JCR can be mass and when culture and sport were worked. He referred to the history of clubs in Argentina and the deep ideological burden that sports and cultural work has and that is above all a closed fact for thousands and thousands of kids and kids in Argentina. "The best tribute we can do to Otto is to continue raising the flags of the revolution, starting from the conviction that none of the structural problems will be solved without a revolutionary exit and I have no doubt that we will succeed" .

Finally, Luciano Álvarez, general secretary of the Revolutionary Communist Youth, highlighted in his words the importance of the activity in relation to talking about Otto is talking about the history of the party, talking about who we are, talking about communism and Fight for the revolution, which was for what fought until the end of his days. “Many times the communists gave us the dead, the ruling classes said they had buried communism, but what also demonstrated life and history is that every time we died, the communists returned and we have a present And let's fight. We have a great responsibility and legacy that Otto left us, which has to do with fighting to guarantee the historical continuity of a line of proletarian hegemony that can play a role from the point of view of the triumph of the revolution in Argentina and that has to See with defending with all the line of the game. ” And finally he added that "the story of Otto Vargas has not finished writing, because a communist, a revolutionary is not judged only by what he has done throughout his militant life, but for what he leaves" .

In a full room, with the enthusiasm of validity, conviction and revolutionary passion that otto brings us, this sense tribute closed with everyone chanting in a loud voice: «They all scream, shout strong, Otto Vargas even Victory always!".

Economic, political and ideological fight

In its first union phase, the economic struggle is spontaneous, that is, it is inevitably born from the same situation in which the proletariat is in the bourgeois regime, but it is not for itself revolutionary. (…) The "spontaneity" element is not enough for the revolutionary struggle, since it never leads to the working class beyond the limits of existing bourgeois democracy. It is necessary that the conscientious element, the "ideological" element, that is, the understanding of the conditions in which it is struggling, of the social relations in which the worker lives, of the fundamental tendencies that operate in the system of these relationships, of the Development process suffered by society for existence within irreducible antagonisms, etc.

This resistance in Ukraine transformed the imperialist invasion into a national war, with thousands of dead and civilians, millions of displaced and entire devastated regions. Much of the Ukrainian energy infrastructure is destroyed.

It is the greatest military conflict in Europe since World War II in the last century.

Ukraine is currently in a difficult military situation. But his people tireless and heroically fighting the progress of the Russian forces, which keep a large part of the territory, together with the annexation of the Crimean Peninsula that occurred in 2014. Ukraine caused tens of thousands of casuals to the Russian army, between dead dead and injured. Despite the adversity and inferiority of troops and armaments, Ukrainian forces continue to hit Russian forces.

NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) a military alliance between the United States, which remains the main economic, political and military superpower, and more than 30 countries in Europe, including England, Germany and France, has put its claws in This war, giving financial support, warlike equipment and military advice to the Ukraine government.

Until now, NATO has prevented its troops from entering the war. Ukraine is not part of this alliance, although the countries that share border with it do, some of them, such as Poland, border with Russia. In 2023 Finland joined, which shares more than 1,000 km from its border with Russia. Sweden is close to entering the Alliance.

Since January 24, NATO is carrying out the largest military exercises in its history, with the deployment of more than 90 thousand soldiers, dozens of combat aircraft, helicopters, tanks, "innumerable unmanned aerial vehicles", war wars , aircraft carrier, etc. "The exercise is designed to simulate the response of the 31 nations alliance to an attack of an opponent like Russia," NATO commanders allowed to transcend Western media.

Russia responds to the planning of these maneuvers and the Russian Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs declared “these exercises are another element of the hybrid war that the West is unleashing against Russia. An exercise in this magnitude (...) marks the definitive and irrevocable return of NATO to the schemes of the Cold War, when the process of military planning, resources and infrastructure were prepared for a confrontation with Russia ».

In Russia, confirming Putin's control over the government for the next elections, Alexei Navalny prison appeared in prison, a well -known opponent to the Russian president. The government of this imperialist power tries to silence the cost of war in Ukraine, with thousands of dead and tens of thousands of young people who leave the country to avoid being recruited.

In Europe, Germany handles the highest military budget in decades, and tries to position itself as a continental leader after the failure of its policy of containing Russia through trade, through the purchase of gas and oil. It is estimated that to replenish the amount of weapons that Europe sent to Ukraine it will have between 5 and 10 years, according to the head of Rheinmetall, the main monopoly of German armaments. More than 12,000 German soldiers began to carry out military exercises, preparing for war.

While Chinese imperialism raises "neutrality" in this conflict, all its actions show alignment with the Russians. At the beginning of February, Chinese President Xi Jinping declared in a telephone conversation with Putin that "Russia and China must collaborate closely to defend their safety and oppose foreign interference." Last year Xi Jinping had declared a "friendship without limits with Putin." China is very interested in the trade of its electronic production with Russia (bordering country) and wants to take advantage of the price in Russian gas and oil.

The war in Ukraine gets into the Yankees elections

In November of this year the presidential elections will be held in the United States. The current president of Yankee imperialism, Joe Biden, of the Democratic Party, has aspirations for re -election. His main contender is former Yankee President and current Republican candidate Donald Trump.

Biden is claiming the Yankee Congress to approve 60,000 million dollars in military aid for Ukraine within a broader war pack that also includes about 14,000 million dollars for Israel, and another sum for Taiwan. The Yankee Military Industrial Complex is making immense profits with the increase in the danger of war between the imperialist powers, and the fogonea.

Tump, on the other hand, that puts conditions to this multimillionaire package in Congress, Polvarda lifted last week saying that if NATO European countries did not update with NATO's expenses, if he were president he would not defend them before an eventual Russian attack.

After these statements, NATO general secretary Jens Stoltenberg clarified that 18 countries of the 31 members reached an expense of 2% of their GDP in the military budget. NATO countries will invest more than 380 billion dollars in rearma They suffer.

War factors grow rapidly

All imperialisms are present in the war in Ukraine, which marks a very important milestone as a factor of World War. Since the end of last year, these factors have joined Israel's genocidal attacks to Palestine, which already caused more than 30,000 civilians and more than two million displaced Palestinians. Another focus of growing conflict is the one that faces imperialist China with Taiwan, sustained by the Yankees and other powers, with all the consequences on the control of the China Sea.

All these war factors aggravate the condition of oppressed countries, and also in the workers and peoples of imperialist countries: inflation and unemployment rates are reaching record values worldwide. Great Britain and Japan have officially announced last week that their economies entered into recession. The exit of the cyclic crises of capitalism is, for imperialist countries, always with wars.

Two years after the Russian imperialist invasion of Ukraine, we reaffirm what was raised by the 13th Congress of our party, in October 2022: “From the PCR we repudiate the Russian invasion to Ukraine. We reaffirm all our solidarity with the Ukrainian people we oppose the imperialist war. Neither Russia, the United States and NATO. Ukraine has the right to decide his destiny. We defend the sovereignty and self -determination of peoples. We continue to denounce both Russian imperialism and the intervention of Yankee and NATO imperialism, which put the world to the edge of a new imperialist confrontation that will only bring more blood and pain to the peoples of the world. ”

In the context of adjustment that is lived in Argentina, national universities and research institutes were completely definant. The budget for this year is the one determined in 2022 by 2023, and taking into account that there were more than 200% inflation, that would allow to work until May.

The increases in fees and salaries did not approach inflation this year and a part of the workers who depend on the science and technical agency have their frozen salaries since last year.

Repeated science workers mobilized the scientific pole to claim for the new income, the publication of the orders of merit (owed since January 12), layoffs of the administrative area and promotions of the support personnel.

The Conicet directory met on February 14 and thanks to a great mobilization of hundreds of fellows, researchers and support personnel, it was achieved that they give some certainties of what will happen with the scholarships. The 300 completion scholarships will be effective in August (instead of April) and type I doctoral scholarships there will be 600 (cutting 700 more they should give).

It is essential to continue with the path of struggle that has been giving to fight for salary updates, the contracts of the administrative staff and the 700 scholarships they want to cut.

Last week it was shown that if we go out and demand what corresponds to us, they cannot make deaf ears and are forced to open their hands. The unity of the entire scientific system is necessary, organizing and seeking to reach each and every one of the science workers to achieve mass and representative movements.

First, a massive act was developed and marches at the Bariloche Civic Center in front of the Municipal Palace with more than 400 people. Raúl Rajneri, secretary of the Revolutionary Communist Party of Río Negro, took the floor and said: “These rulers we have get used to treating Lewis as a friend. The English usurpan the Falkland Islands, they want to seize our territory in Antarctica. ”

In addition, as he held eight years ago since the first day in claim of sovereignty, Rajneri stated: “Here in Lake Escondid We are here to defend our Argentine territory. ”

"With this new march we are going to build the new national strike that allows us to discourage not only hidden lake, but to all the landowners of our country," said the general secretary of the National ATE and the Autonomous CTA Río Negro, Rodolfo Aguiar.

At noon, the column departed in groups to Foyel, 50 kilometers south, at the entrance of the Tacuifi road, blocked access to the hidden lake, still usurped by the Englishman Joe Lewis.

After eight years of tireless struggle and several judicial failures in favor of the people, the road was closed with a fence and the Government of Río Negro through the security forces, protect again abroad. The protesters again threw stones and received aggressions from the local ducks that take care of Lewis's interests. Fortunately there were no injuries.

This year's march has as prelude to the journey through the mountain that undertook a group of 24 people from different organizations in the country, who walked to Lake Sovereignty, but could not advance more due to the conditions of impassability of the path.

The day was precisely on February 14, the day in which the fifth anniversary of the death of our beloved Secretary General of the PCR, Otto Vargas was fulfilled.

We talked with the companion Staiti on Friday 16, before the joint meeting to which the National Government has called. Francisca told us, first of all, the importance of the meeting of the State and Guilds Front of State Companies held on February 15 at the ATE headquarters in CABA: “This is the second meeting we make. The first was on December 5 of last year, in which we participated centrally organizations of the Autonomous CTA, and what we fight is to add unions of other centrals. I believe that the 15th meeting was very important, with guilds, delegates, internal and federations, with which we agreed to unify the fight against Milei's attacks against the entire public system, and the State as guarantor of rights. From the political point of view it was very important, since we agreed a day of struggle with mobilizations towards the end of February, if possible, splicing with the claim of Ctera, rejecting this policy of dismissals and the state of the State.

“And we also agreed to advance with the dissemination of what is done from our places, be it in the universities, companies and different instances of the State, to dismantle the fallacies of this government, for example, that state companies are deficient. The sovereignty sounded like a fundamental issue, with examples of many partners who defend it in their workplaces. We saw the need to disseminate what a state is present or anchored and is absent from education, health, road safety, etc.

“The plenary claimed for the urgent reinstatement of all and all the firing colleagues, and in addition to specific actions of different guilds, advance in the concretion of a new great national unemployment with mobilization, such as January 24. Because beyond the Bus Law was defeated, the DNU is still in force, and this government continues to liquefy the salaries and apply a brutal adjustment. ”

The situation in universities

Francisca tells us that the coup of the government over universities occurs in two ways: “On the one hand is the liquefaction of wages, as in the rest of national state. Our salary is devaluing it, to be able to meet that objective of the "zero deficit." In January, university teachers and researchers had no salary recomposition. We come from 6% increase in December, and in February we had 10%, to charge in March. This is a salary loss well above 100%, in relation to inflation of these months. And while we have a new call to peers, we know that the offer will be poor.

“Therefore, there is a complicated year, because we will want to continue liquefying the salary, and it will surely be a year of a lot of struggle, that we will try to be with the widest unit with the set of teaching federations. This also came out in the state plenary, the need to achieve the widest unit and organization to hit together.

“The other issue at the University is the budget. We continue with that of 2023, and as the rectors have already warned, with this budget the operation of universities beyond March or April is not guaranteed.

“We are going to try to coordinate the protest with all the sectors of the university, the students, the non -teachers and the rectors themselves, so that in unity we go out to claim what corresponds to us.

“There are sectors that seek to face this lack of budget with different mercantilist alternatives, such as the sale of services or tariff, which would go to a privatization of university education, not recognized. From the historical Conadu we planted ourselves as guarantors of the college gratuity. And in that I think we agree with all the federations. ”

The Secretary of the Historical Conadu says that “this is going to be a year of a lot of struggle. And we want it to be an in conjunction of all sectors, as stated in the state plenary. That is why we are meeting with the other University Teaching Federations, stopping the differences to put in front of the needs we have.

“From universities we are in a battle for intellectual sovereignty, in the face of this policy that aims to privatize and the sale of everything in Argentina. When I speak of intellectual sovereignty I mean the defense of science, technology, and everything that is taught and investigated in the public university. All this cannot fall into private hands.

“We have to discuss which is the best exit, for the needs of the people and the homeland, not that the market decides, as they say. Because they are privileged only some careers, finance, economy, and those that always lose are social or humanistic calls.

“We do not deny that the market exists, and that many and many of those who graduate are incorporated into that market, in various ways. What we propose is what the university is for. ”

Francisca dismisses us ensuring that the budget drowning will begin to feel shortly, as soon as the activities start in universities, some of which have already begun, and they are expected to be fully in the last week of March.

“That budget drowning feels differently in universities. Some have outsourced all safety and cleaning tasks, and there are already attempts to allocate administrators to these tasks. That is why I say that we are going to a year of intense fight against this national government policy. ”

National Universities Unions Front

On Friday 16, the National Government offered just a 6% salary increase for the month of February, which was rejected by all the guilds present. "The loss of the purchasing power of the salary of teachers and nodocentes is more than 50% with respect to the inflation of the months of December and January," denounced a guild document, adding "the government intends to establish a salary reduction for teaching Pre -University removing the fonid. That incentive represents a significant percentage of the pre -university salary. ”

Prior to the joint meeting, the National Universities Unions Front was formed, composed of Historical Conadu -Conadu -Fedun -Fagdut -UDA -ctera -fatun, guilds belonging to the Autonomous CTA, CTA of the workers and CGT.

Responsible for the National Government of the conflict, the guilds culminate the document affirming "we defend the public and free university at the service of the great majorities, decent wages for workers and decent workers and retirements."

The National Government, chaired by Javier Milei, in just over two months has greatly deepened the sufferings of the Argentine people. The growth of inflation has led us to lose much of the purchasing power of our salaries. Thousands of teachers and also our students and their families, we are the ones who pay the consequences of low salaries with a school basket that has risen 450% the last year and with the brutal increase in transport.

The National Government takes anti -government and anti -democratic measures enriching a “caste” of monopolies and landowners who are behind the drafting of their decrees, bills and economic measures. And religiously pay an illegitimate, usurative and fraudulent external debt contracted by its macrista partners as the current Minister of Economy Luis Caputo.

The federal nature of our country overwhelms the provinces, particularly to the province of Buenos Aires, shrinking the items of federal co -participation and cutting the transfer of discretionary funds and subsidies to transport and services. Now, as part of its measures against the people and the country, it has decided to stop turning the budget items for education to each province: the National Teaching Incentive Fund (FONID), Connectivity, Salary Compensation Fund and other education items ( Pedagogical programs, school canteens and milk cup, progress, connect equality and school infrastructure). It also eliminates the institutional improvements of technical schools and budgetary lines, which are fundamental for its operation. And refuses to convene the National Teaching Parity.

President Milei's false argument is that education "is a problem of the governors of each province", denying articles 14 and 14 bis of the National Constitution, among others, when their measures hit the people, forgetting that the funds of the funds of the that appropriate were also generated in each province, by the men and women who produce wealth in Argentina and who are now victims of their measures.

The pockets are also filled in the province of Buenos Aires many of those who direct the national government in the shadows, such as Paolo Rocca de Techint, Elsztain de Cresud and Irsa, Galperin de Mercado Libre, to name just a few.

In that context, the Government of the Province of Buenos Aires summoned the teaching parity he offered, according to the FUDB: “20% of the general average of increase on the basis of calculation December 2023, as of February 1, 2024 This increase will also be perceived by retired. In addition, he reported that he will increase the sections of family assignments. ” At a time that by the measures of Milei we will stop receiving in our salary what corresponds to the nation of Fonid, connectivity and compensatory fund.

We understand that this increase is insufficient. We come from the devaluation of Milei in December, where an interannual inflation of 211.4%was closed. In the parity of that month, a 2023 increase of 153%was established by provincial decree, with respect to the Salary Dic ’22, which generated an important salary loss.

Faced with the denial of the National Teaching Joint and establishing the minimum, vital and mobile salary, the provincial government agreed to the request of the unions: parity every month, that the increases are also perceived by the retirees and retirees and the increase in Family assignments. So that the teachers are not those who pay the adjustment, we need a salary increase that allows us at least to recover all the lost salary, and then win inflation.

This is also necessary to unite the teachers, the educational community, the people and the Buenos Aires government, in the fight against the theft made by the national government of the provincial funds and our salaries.

To turn that situation we propose:

1. That the CTARA Congress promotes the non -start of classes throughout the country, and a progressive struggle plan, in response to confiscation by the National Government of Educational Funds and the refusal to convene the National Teaching Joint.
2. In the province of Buenos Aires, compensate for the removal of resources, advancing with a mandatory contribution by the richest sectors of the province, as was the extraordinary contribution to the great fortunes. Initiative that was already promoted at the national level during the government of the front of all, given the crisis situation caused by the pandemic.
3. With these funds, finance fair salaries to teachers and state and increase the educational budget for school food, infrastructure, scholarships, useful, sneakers, overalls, etc.
4. Fight in the streets, together with the educational community and the people, in the widest unity, from the multisectoral, claiming the National Government of late federal co -participation, discretionary transfers and educational funds as part of the struggle initiatives we have for in front, which have as its main objective, turn the 70/23 hunger and delivery DNU.
5. We reaffirm that education is a right and not an essential service.

This triumph was the result of the fight that toured the entire National Bank throughout the country and that occurred from day one.

The same next day that the 70/23 DNU was announced, a massive assembly was held at the Central House and many branches to reject the claim to privatize it and/or transform it into a corporation, convened by the internal union that headed the General Secretary of the Guild Sergio Palazzo.

The National Bank is the main financial tool of the national state, it is 100% state, autarkic and gives profits that it contributes to the treasure. It has 23% of national savings and hundreds of credit lines for SMEs and agricultural sectors that only the BNA attends. It has a branch in each town and city of the country of more than 10 thousand inhabitants and in its organic letter defines as one of its objectives to contribute to the development of regional economies.

It is a lie that it is inefficient and has low profitability as it intends to install the new president of the bank, Daniel Tillard, of the Mediterranean Foundation. The main debt in delinquency has been the product of the scam made during the Macri government in more than 300 million dollars of the Vicentin case.

The unemployment and mobilization of 24/1 and massive hug that was made of hundreds of workers and then went to Congress was overwhelming. Hundreds of assemblies are being carried out throughout the country receiving the support of many production sectors.

Today once again we relaunch the campaign against privatization, also joining the workers of the other companies that are in the list of privatizations such as Arsat, Airlines, NucleoElectric, military manufactures, Fadea, Tandanor. And this Tuesday 20/2 (at the close of this edition) we will perform an act by calling the CGT, social organizations and other productive sectors to unite in the defense of the BNA.

The fight continues against decree 70/23 that is still in force large A great fight too.

This is why, despite the triumph against the Bus Law, it is necessary that the DNU be annulled and declared unconstitutional

You have to keep your guard up, because this government is not going to give your arm to twist and we will have to defeat your street plans. The workers of the National Bank are going to fight until the end!

/2024

From the class and combative current we express our deep concern for the lack of agreement for the increase in the minimum, vital and mobile salary. In a context marked by the adjustment policies promoted by the government of Javier Milei, which triggered inflation through the clouds and hits the purchasing power of the whole of the workers, and especially in those with precarious works and in our retirees .

From the CCC we firmly support the proposal of the CGT, in agreement with all the centrals, which request an increase of 85%, a measure that contributes to alleviating, although partially, the damage inflicted on the salaries of the workers by the adjustment policies inflationary of the national government.

We understand that the absence of government proposal, in tune with the business sectors, is a maneuver to make the meeting fail and be able to close it by decree. Thus, in fact, we are the only workers to pay the adjustment.

It is clear that the adjustment on "the caste" was a campaign slogan, the reality is that the adjustment is about the Argentine people, especially the precarious workers, the retirees, and all those who live from the informal economy.

For a minimum, vital and mobile salary that guarantees a decent life for all workers in Argentina!

Recently, Milei insisted again in various public statements with his idea of dollarization. He argued that it was "getting closer and closer," although it ruled out its implementation for this year for time reasons.

Without the slightest tap, he also said that "the chainsaw and the blender, which are the pillars of the adjustment, do not negotiate." Some economists alert precisely that with inflation liquefaction it would be preparing the land for dollarization. Because, in addition to facilitating the spray of social spending, wages and other income, it contributes to liquefy the monetary base in general, as well as the remunerated liabilities of the BCRA (currently almost all “passive passes” and very little of Leliq), which are one of the main pitfalls for that plan.

Dollarization was one of Milei's main campaign slogans, with which he appealed to the illusion of many people to be able to collect in "hard currency", given the constant loss of purchasing power of weight by galloping inflation; measure that was accompanied by the crazy proposal to eliminate the Central Bank. With his assumption, both ideas seemed to have been quick frizzed; In fact, he did not even mention them in his inaugural speech. But after the defeat of the Omnibus Law in Congress, in a framework of massive rejection in the streets - with the cacerolazos, unemployment and working and popular mobilization - it has tried to resume the political initiative again putting the issue on the table.

Milei part of the erroneous premise that inflation is due exclusively, at any time and place, to excess monetary issuance to finance the fiscal deficit. With her, she tries to justify the need for dollarization, by removing the Central Bank (BCRA) the power to issue.

Viability and consequences of dollarize

In the first place, with or without elimination of the BCRA, this measure means renouncing the economic sovereignty of issuing the national currency, regulating the interest rate and setting the exchange rate, among other basic issues of a central bank. It is impossible to think of a national development policy for the benefit of the popular sectors renouncing these basic instruments in advance, along with other losses decades ago that should recover, such as the nationalization of deposits and the orientation of the credit in favor of national production , use and popular consumption. It is clear that this central bank does not serve the people, but with the excuse of fighting inflation, which actually feeds with its disastrous economic policy, Milei seeks to deliver the monetary sovereignty of our country.

Secondly, the dollarization would deepen the extreme of our US dependence, since the terms of said scheme should naturally be negotiated with the broadcasting country of that currency. From there in more, the Argentine economy will be subject to the cycles of monetary and exchange policy of Yankee imperialism (in particular, to the appreciation or depreciation of its currency globally).

Another not less issue is related to the economic feasibility of its implementation, as well as immediate implications for real salary and other popular income. What exchange rate would dollarization be made, that is, the exchange of the pesos of the economy for dollars, and even more, with what dollars? Because, as is known, the BCRA suffers a long time ago of a pressing shortage of reservations. In this regard, Milei said: “We have accumulated about USD 7,000 million reserves and the monetary base is USD 7,000, 8,000 million. I mean, we are nothing (to dollarize). ” However, confuse or misrepresent the numbers. It is true that the BCRA has managed to buy that amount so far in its management, but with an accumulation of (own) net reserves (own) (3.6 billion). And this does not mean that net reserves continue to be negative at about 7.5 billion dollars (which means that the BCRA has used dollars borrowed, including a SWAP section with China). On the other hand, at the official exchange rate, the monetary base is currently equivalent to USD 12.8 billion, significantly higher than Milei.

This accumulation of reserves has been carried out at the expense of the mega devaluation and the deliberately caused recession, which contracts internal demand and imports of the dependent local economy. Incidentally, Milei shared in X (former twist) a journalistic note entitled "For the monetary squeeze, inflation and recession, savers sell dollars to reach the end of the month." Not only pushes poverty millions of Argentines with their economic policy, but celebrate it through networks.

As part of this recessive plan, the goal of accumulation of reservations until December 2023 agreed with the IMF implies ending the year with null net reserves. That is, without still having a single dollar to be able to carry out the rescue of the monetary base; And not to mention the remunerated liabilities of the BCRA (which support the bulk of the deposits in pesos), which are equivalent to USD 35,000 million. To try to answer this issue of the lack of dollars, indicated by most economists of various political orientations, Milei and their related economists appeal to very little consistent and much less realistic financial gadgets.

Therefore, the BCRA is still far from having the dollars necessary to carry out the rescue of the economy's weights to an exchange rate that is not astronomical. Naturally, to accelerate the liquefaction of the weights of the economy, the government could resort to a new devaluation jump, which will further spray salaries, retirements and other income, as well as health, education, etc. spending, which already had A monumental cut in real terms in the brief management time of Milei.

The following issue around dollarization lies in the very functioning of the scheme. As happened in the ‘90s under convertibility, the expansion of the monetary base (already in dollars) would be subject to having surpluses in external accounts; In particular, in the current account of the balance of payments, which is chronically deficient due to the deformed development and dependent on the Argentine economy; And it will be even more with the policies to which Milei points out, of unrestricted commercial and financial opening, and freely for the foreignization of the economy. This leaves the door open to the need for constant external indebtedness (anyway, banned for the moment for Argentina); or to a chronic recession, with high unemployment, given the sustained lack of liquidity of the economy that would generate the external deficit. In such a context, they would end up proliferating the quasi provincial currencies to finance public spending and pay salaries, as happened towards the end of convertibility.

In addition to this, the lack of a last instance lender (because the BCRA, beyond continuing to exist, no longer emits the legal tender) would favor the instability of the financial system as a whole.

Faced with adverse or disruptive, external or internal events (global crisis, drought, etc.), the BCRA would lack the ability to adjust the exchange rate or cover part of public spending with monetary emission. Without going any further, during an event like the pandemic, which generated a collapse of GDP and a strong drop in exports, the BCRA could not issue money to finance the government and thus sustain public spending until the external storm passes.

Worldwide, only Ecuador, El Salvador, Panama and a handful of islands have dollarized their economies.

Extreme dependency and sufferings of the people

Dollarization is an even more rigid scheme than the convertibility that he governed in Argentina during the ‘90s and principles of the following, which directly renounces to issue the national currency, instead of setting by law the parity with the dollar. The results of that experiment and those policies, which Milei seeks to take to the extreme, were already in sight at that time. How could it be otherwise, convertibility ended up implioing, in the midst of the worst economic and social crisis that Argentina suffered.

Consequently, far from being a panacea, the dollarization of the national economy would deepen to inconceivable extremes the economic and political dependence of our country, particularly with the US, causing the ruin of much of national production, especially The small and medium -sized company, and greatly aggravating the pressing economic and social situation that suffers wide popular sectors.

Today N ° 1999 02/21/2024

1. With Milei, hunger grows and millions fall into poverty

One million people fall into poverty every month, as a consequence of the brutal adjustment of Milei, says a study by Di Tella University. The Social Observatory of the Argentine Catholic University estimates that since the Government of Milei began, poverty grew from 44.7% to 57.4%, and the destitution of 9.8% to 15%. This is equivalent to 27 million poor and almost seven million homeless!

Behind these figures is the drama of millions of people who do not have for daily food, which increases with each measure against the people who take this reactionary government, hunger and delivery.

Cynically, Milei "celebrates" an inflation that reached 51% in two months, boast of having thrown 50 thousand public workers, and having dropped 98% of transfers to the provinces.

The Government, with the complicity of the business chambers, boycotted and failed the meeting of the Vital and Mobile Minimum Salary Council, where the CGT and the two CTA had taken a unified order of 85%, that is, a base of $ 288,600 from the February 1.

Minister Caputo announced that they will be the ones who will set that salary, which is a reference for informal work, for domestic service and governs among other things the amount of social programs. It also determines the floor of the income tax, which is 15 minimum wages.

In line with the confiscation of funds, those who financed the procrear plan, the progress scholarships, water infrastructure works, the fire management law, the stabilizing fund of the price of wheat, the construction fund in popular neighborhoods, and It still does not send merchandise to thousands of popular dining rooms.

Milei had already been stealing to the provinces the co -participation funds and discretionary transfers, and with the removal of transportation subsidy is causing a disaster throughout the country. Now he also confiscated the educational funds, including the FONID (Teaching Incentive Fund) and says the most campaign that he will not summon the National Teaching Joint: "That the provinces are fixed."

In addition, the government kept retirement and pensions frozen. Now he announced an increase of 30% when the accumulated inflation of this period is 70%, which imposed an infamous adjustment in retirees and pensioners, liquefying their income.

Minister Pettovello suspended the Directorate of Direct Assistance for Special Situations (Dadse), which provides oncological remedies, chronic disabled diseases and acute pathologies urgent to hospitals. This policy is already charging many direct victims, such as neighborhood leader Aldo Pinto, who died in Salta on February 15 due to lack of cancer drugs.

Of course, in a reward for vote in favor of the “Bus Law”, Milei transferred 1,000 million pesos to Governor Valdés, to pay the television of the Carnival of Corrientes.

Inverse of the legendary novel character, Robin Hood, President Milei is "Hood Robin", he steals what little they have to the poor, to distribute it between the richest caste and the IMF.

2. They want to sweep the ANSES

The use of installed capacity in the industry was in December the youngest of the last 12 years.

The fall in economic activity is between 20% and 30%. It caused a collapse in consumption, with 30%peaks. This policy generates the sinking of purchasing power impacting fully on factories, especially in SMEs.

The Government removed the transport subsidies, increased electricity in the AMBA more than 150% and the increase in gas is coming, although the price of oil fell and the oil companies gain fortunes.

This government uses the silver that produces the work of our people to continue paying the debt with the IMF and other usurers. In January, the debt with the fund went from 40,899 million dollars to 43,157 million. That is, we pay debt and the debt grows. The same goes for adjustable bonds and titles for inflation or dollar.

The Government celebrates that they would have achieved "the fiscal balance." Apply what Nicolás Avellaneda said in 1877, when he said: "If necessary, we will pay the debt to the blood, sweat and tears of the Argentines", of course the blood, sweat and tears put them the town and not they.

The school basket increased 450%. More than $ 230,000 are needed to face the return to classes. There are already families who have to decide which of their children will go to school this year. With this policy, school dropout will grow and with the crisis, thousands who were in private school will turn to the public, which will deepen their collapse. The only measure taken by Milei is the increase in school allocation to $ 70 thousand (amount charged only once in March), which the fathers and mothers of 7.3 million boys and girls who attend from the initial level to The secondary

While keeping shipments to the dining rooms of public schools at zero, the Government exempts the payment of employer contributions to private school owners.

The Government wants to appropriate the ANSES sustainability fund (around 76,000 million dollars) which is the guarantee for retirement. Those who drive this looting to retirees are monopolies such as Molinos Río de la Plata, Cresud, from businessman Eduardo Elsztain (milei financier), Pampa Energía, the Techint, Clarín, Telecom and Aluar group, who want to recover actions from which this fund is owner.

Within the December decretazo, the Government included the repeal of the Land Law, which at the time imposed a maximum of 15% for land tenure in Argentina. The measure is in the middle of a judicial battle, but it is still in force.

Great foreign investors seek to increase the looting of our lands and the resources that are in them, as a journalistic investigation shows who are "the owners of the earth", which reach more than one million hectares. And the great landowners expand their stays leading to the crisis to the farmers (see page 5 of this edition).

Every day this policy adds 3,000 new poor, wages are struck between the hands and large sectors of national bourgeoisie see how their small businesses are pushed at the close. Meanwhile a handful of monopolies and landowners take the money in shovel.

According to a report from Page 12 "Unilever, Procter, Arcor, Bimbo, La Serenísima, Celusal, two anchors, personal, movistar, clear and the prepaids led the price increases in January", well above the average of the inflation, already very high, of a 20, of a 20, 6%.

3. A policy that leads us to be pawns of the dispute between the imperialist powers

The deepening of the struggles, in this Argentina played by several imperialist powers, sharpens the fights above within the dominant classes block.

This is seen in the comings and turns between macrismo and freedom progresses, on what conditions those of the PRO would advance in their integration in government positions, and in an agreement of their blocks in Congress.

In a context of growth of war factors in the world, Milei reaffirms their alignment with Western imperialist powers, the United States, England and Israel. They are the three main countries that vote against Argentine claims for Malvinas in the UN.

At a time when the world economy is going through great turbulence. Great Britain and Japan officially recognized that their economies entered into recession, after three months without growth. The economy of Chinese imperialism continues with great problems.

The president of Brazil, Lula da Silva, has just declared that what is doing Israel's fascist government is a genocide and compared it in history: "Like when Hitler decided to kill the Jews."

In this situation, Milei traveled a few weeks ago to support that criminal government endorsing the genocide about the Palestinian people, after more than three months of occupation in Gaza.

This week receives the United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and then will travel to Washington to participate in the Conference of Conservative Political Action, which supports Donald Trump in his career to the Yankee presidency .

Milei will be returning from the United States when two years of the Russian imperialist invasion to Ukraine, which has been heroically resisted by the Ukrainian army.

A month ago, during the Davos forum, Milei met with the English chancellor David Cameron. On that occasion, Milei described the encounter as "excellent" and eluded to respond if the Malvinas issue was touched. On Monday, Foreign Minister Cameron visited Las Malvinas. When leaving London, he declared provocatively that: "The Falkland Islands are a valuable part of the British family ... the issue of sovereignty (with Argentina) will not be the object of discussion." Given this, the Argentine Chancellor, Diana Mondino, makes a humiliating silence.

The imperialist powers advance rapidly in their preparations for a new military confrontation, and Milei's delivery policy transforms us into pawns of that dispute.

4. Faced with this policy, struggles grow

The government, since he assumed, has been imposing a policy of tremendous adjustments, with a large increase in inflation and a terrible recession. It has paralyzed public works, and dismissals and suspensions grow in private companies and shops.

Our PCR already defined in November that this policy had to be faced, and from leading the struggles, fighting to unite everything that can be united to defeat adjustment and delivery.

Today a trail of struggles crosses Argentina.

On February 14 it was held in Bariloche and El Bolsón, the day of launching to the march for sovereignty to Lake hidden, starring the Autonomous CTA, ATE, CCC, PTP-PCR Río Negro, we are and various social and political organizations.

At the close of this edition, thousands of bank workers, accompanied by other unions, mobilized in defense of the National Bank.

Among the teachers, the demand for strength measures such as the non -starting of classes grows. The university teachers have also unified in a front claiming urgent salary and funds for public universities.

The guild of railway machinists, the fraternity, announced a national strike for 21, before a salary offer that does not cover inflation.

Chubut oil protests grow due to the lack of investment in “conventional” wells and workers' construction workers, which claim for the paralysis of Chinese dams.

While Milei attacks popular artists such as Lali Espósito and María Becerra, unity also grows between actors, musicians and artists who reject the adjustment in culture, and pose struggle initiatives.

The workers and researchers of CONICET marched against the dismissals, lack of funds and postponement of scholarship granting.

The unemployed and precarious movements have agreed a new day of struggle for this week, with a center in the food claim for popular dining rooms, updating the amount of the plans and the delivery of school kits before the next start of classes.

From the JCR, the movement or a kid less for the drug, the CCC and a set of youth organizations drive a national day for Thursday 22 with the slogan "The pots are empty, the backpacks too."

A National Plenary of the State Guild Front agreed to fight measures for the 26th of this month, against layoffs and salary freezing of national employees.

The National Peasant Federation has been working for an agrarian and multisectoral fighting day against hunger that grows in the poor peasantry.

From our PCR and the movements that we integrate, we are part of those who fight that these grows that grow together in a new national active strike, convened by the workers' centrals.

The great movement of women and diversities has been working throughout the country to fill the streets in unity on March 8, International Day of Working Women, against the anti -rights policy of this government.

As seen in the great unemployment of January 24, the unit for the fight in the streets is the way to turn the validity of the Milei need and urgency decree and stop this adjustment and delivery policy

We continue to promote the multisectoral that arise throughout the country, and working so that they are true coordinating centers of the labor and popular struggle, to twist the arm to Milei's policy and advance in conquering another policy and another government, in favor from town.

5. Strengthen the PCR for an exit in favor of the people

Should we give this government time? If we sacrifice these months we will be better later? That is the propaganda of the government, and one of the great debates that run through the assemblies of the sections, in the neighborhoods, in the countryside and in all popular sectors.

Do not give them time, because if this policy is stabilized and Milei advances with its measures, only the situation of the great masses will worsen. Milei governs for a caste that intends an Argentina where millions work for food, with all its economy tied to the interests of the great imperialist powers and landowners.

He wants an Argentina like the beginning of the 20th century, when an oligarchic minority threw “butter to the ceiling” at the expense of the exploitation of the great popular majorities.

As we have been raising from the central committee of our party, a situation is accelerated in which the conjunction of several factors "can generate an objective revolutionary situation."

This requires revolutionary communists to continue at the head of the struggles fighting the widest unity to twist the arm to this policy. In the heat of the fight we go to the debate between the masses with the Guide of the Report of the Central Committee of January and the proposals of our ten measures.

We struggle to accumulate forces, incorporating thousands into the PCR and the JCR offering them a struggle. They are tumultuous moments where great changes can occur. It is our duty to prepare and prepare the masses so that these changes are in favor of the working class and the people and open a revolutionary path.

The tributes that we have been making to our beloved Otto Vargas, first general secretary of our party, five years after his death, are a central part of reaffirming those revolutionary objectives, the same for which we founded our party 56 years ago.

Write the Life

Photo: on 19/2 a set of social and political organizations, among which was the PCR-PTP and the CCC, repudiated the presence of Milei in the province of Corrientes.

On Tuesday 20th in the House of Memory, the CCC - class and combative corner - of the Chaco, with the accompaniment of unions, social, political, human rights and legislators, provided a press conference, with the objective of "Reporting a brutal attack, stigmatization and persecution by the National and Provincial Government, from the press conference headed by Patricia Bullrich in which Governor Leandro Zdero participated."

It is a right to replica after the complaint to Jorge Bregui, originally that a member of the CCC of the Leonese of course sexual abuse.

“ On a complaint to a delegate of our organization that we learn by the media, the first measure we take is to separate it to investigate, but the yellow press encompasses the entire CCC, which is a national organization, because they come not only for the social and union organizations but by the Argentine people. That is the plan of President Milei and Minister Bullrich, when in reality what the government should resolve is the hunger of the people, the adjustment and inflation and the repression that they want to carry out and that we will not allow our rights to be overwhelmed And we are not going to take a step back. " He assured, Gladis Favretto, leader of the CCC.

José Niz, general secretary of UPCP expressed his support; " The CCC is an organization that has achieved many claims for its members and the families of each of them, I admire their ability to organize ... and they also had to endure different types of situations that are not pleasant at all, many of us live together as a union And sister organization, which has to do with repressions over time but nevertheless never claudicated in what is its general objective and that has to do with what we propose as a union that if there are social organizations, it has to do because There is no state policy generated by genuine jobs and that this gives the dignity and equal opportunities to each and every one of the Chaqueños. ”

Mónica Figueroa, Reina Gómez and Simón Álvarez of the CCC of Castelli, Las Palmas and La Leonesa respectively were expressed, adding that "We are not what they say, in any way, we do not accompany rapists, abusers or stalkers, never, but the truth was a situation of intimidation towards the entire community, but we are not afraid," referring to the 7 raids made week ago.

About the press conference of Minister Bullrich

Milei Bullrich Plan: from the criminalization of protest to the criminalization of organizations

We fight against gender violence

The basis of gender violence is a relationship of unequal power. Patriarchy was imposed in thousands of years and the man exercises that violence over women. It occurs in all areas and in different ways. In relationships, in the family, adults with children, in labor relations and officials with their subordinates, a delegate, a teacher, a religious. We are against them, so we actively participate and convene together with the women's movement and feminisms to face them.

Violence is transversal, in all areas and institutions of society, however, the Government has concentrated its efforts to talk about violence, exclusively in social and union organizations.

In a complaint of violence that must be investigated, we start from not dismissing and believing the weakest, children and women, who are mostly victims of violence. That is why, before the complaint filed against Jorge Bregui, an original Qom delegate of the Leonesa CCC, we decided to separate it from the organization while the investigation lasts and we will contribute what is necessary until the fact is clarified to reach the truth, without prejudging.

Generalization is repudiable to discredit and demonize organizations

The press conference at Casa Rosada, led by Minister Bullrich, takes this case, pretending to show it as a policy of our entire organization. At the same time he ligures it with the case of the Foundation "Do not forget me", denounced for trafficking in people in the Chaco, which had a judicial ruling with a 15 -year prison sentence for its top leader and the other leader committed suicide. Citing specific cases, he also intended to involve other trade union and social organizations, hitting all.

We want and work for the truth, but we are not going to allow us to defam us, get dirty and condemn, with a political and media complaint, for a judicial act that must be investigated.

Never mainly national media were spent so much time to issues that involve native peoples, when we are killed, missing, abused and discriminated against in the Chaco, as now when it is accused.

The deployment of the operation of more than 250 police officers from several locations, with members of the mounted and motorized, dozen mobile and troops with hood, is an obvious message with which it is intended to intimidate, frighten and discipline a fighting organization to an organization of struggle and with thousands of natives.

We regret the participation of the Governor of the Province in that type of attack. He knows very well that he does not correspond that we attack his party, accusing him of "Illicit association, negotiations incompatible with public function, illicit enrichment, fraud to the detriment of public administration, breach of duties and aggravated money laundering." These are some of the foundations of the oral trial that will resume in our province in the next few days, against a former mayor of Resistencia, to which he knows very well, for having been his chief of cabinet. Perhaps he believes that acting as in the press conference, "you will see a horizon" that a few days ago did not see.

There is another way to defend the majority of the people of Chaco

We believe that he is wrong, if he really wants to prevent taxes from our regional economy, not to skip the fee of electricity, water and transport, becoming unpayable. If you do not want the Chaco without works to be and fundamentally and dramaticly, it is without the small contribution fee to a hunger feed that grows incontestable in the province with the highest national poverty rate, it should rely on that town that increases its suffering and should claim with courage, as other governors and mayors are doing, to avoid dispossession, before it is late.

We will follow that path, summoning the unity of the entire Chaco people, as we did with the multisectoral march of regional economies to Plaza de Mayo in November 2016, before whom he defended the powerful as today. We will feel the voice of deep Argentina, against hunger, adjustment, repression, for sovereignty and federalism.

The previous crisis that led to this

At the end of 2001, when she was president of the Rúa and Minister of Labor Patricia Bullrich, inflation, adjustment, delivery and confiscation of savers' deposits in the banks grew. The fed up and anger increased in the town that won the streets to the shout of "picket and saucepan, the fight is only one." They decreed the state of siege, causing popular rebellion.

Those who did it, did not pay it

They repressed wildly killing 39 people, mostly in Plaza de Mayo. De la Rúa resigned and left by helicopter. Bullrich went to wait for his new moment and did not yield, nor paid anything.

Why are there social plans?

Hunger grew at unknown levels and after a succession of 5 presidents in 11 days, where Rodríguez Saá suspended the payment of the external debt that bleed Enraged by not having to eat, for the repression and appropriation of your savings. He tried to placate, which could be put on everything.

To the social organizations and movements that had been fighting hunger, dozens of new ones were added and grew in each province and in the country. There were no plans for all and was defined as a distribution criteria, which were obtained by those who had fought for them most, with decisions taken in assemblies.

Those responsible for the numbers of shame

From that date to the present, different governments followed, but the sources of work that were ending with the need for the plans were not created. On the contrary, the Macri government, where Bullrich had its new moment, exceeded the duplication of the number of plans, because its policy led to the bankruptcy more than 25 thousand small and medium enterprises, increasing the people who remained in the street again.

Today the number of unemployed and informal that need a plan or unemployment insurance, is 8 million people and the plans to enhance work are 1 million 200 thousand. It is paid for $ 78,000, when the indigence line in Le Chaco is at $ 304,000. The plan of the plan goes to each beneficiary that charges it by card per bank and spends it in the businesses of its neighborhood or its locality.

We do not want plans, we want formal work, with retirement contributions, family salary, social work and all the rights conquered in 100 years of struggle of the labor movement and that today wants to trample with the DNU.

Our jobs

Each movement has its particularity of organization and work. We work by elaborating bread, bricks, orchards, farms, production of ecological cotton, textile, housing construction or roof service, sidewalks, drains, goalkeepers, school cleaning, health centers and fully precarious hospitals, school support, weeding of paths and schools and snacks indispensable for three times a week, almost as the only food. The sacrificed participation of thousands of women during the pandemic was key, for the care, elaboration of chins, manufacture of alcohol in gel and keep the snacks as the only food, when Bullrich cut streets burning chinies. The communities and the mayors are witnesses of this, but from the national government and unfortunately of the province, it is intended to delegitimize and criminalize the organizations, to advance the adjustment. It turns out that now the "caste" is us.

Unoccupied organizations should not exist, because there should be no unemployment and informality

There are because the different governments did not create the necessary sources of work to incorporate us and if they do not and want to resolve the distribution directly of the plans from the government, it is not difficult. They must do as with the AUH universal assignment per child. That is universal for all unoccupied, as in other countries that take an example for other things. The organizations, which they call "intermediaries", exist because there are not for everyone and the people seek to join and organize to fight to achieve at least that.

Who gets part of the silver of the Argentines scratching the navel?

The amount destined to pay social plans is 10% of the amount that is destined to pay the interests of large financial speculators and banks, which put their money in the Leliqs, doing anything. They sit down to wait for 120% average annual annual, scratching and they take it outside. Now the government intends to ask for loans to dollarize that debt, which we all pay for all. We will contribute to the unity of the Argentine people, to avoid it.

Chaco Provincial Table

At 89, our beloved partner Jorge Risi died.

Roque, as we all knew him, joined our party since its foundation, having been in the FJC with which he broke along with thousands of young people.

He played in different organization tasks, in the dictatorship he did it as responsible for the press task, and in recent years as responsible for the National Sports Commission.

Roque was a true communist who fought his whole life to realize the historical objective of the working class, society without exploiters or exploited.

Dear Roque until victory, always!

We will say goodbye Wednesday, February 21, 15hs, at the Chacarita crematorium.
