“The government cut ties with all organizations”
At the beginning of the communication on No Te Duermas, Viviana Oscari confirmed the lack of food delivery by the national government: “Food did not arrive anywhere, not even to the most basic places where one could assume that food delivery would never be cut off… For example, churches, which is the main place where food was taken away and since December the government, from the Ministry of ‘Inhuman Capital’, decided to cut off dialogue, cut off ties with all organizations and nothing ever came to us.”
“Not even to the churches, which one might suppose is the place where no one ever got involved in our country. Social organizations have always been demonized and bastardized, but in this we understand that the ministry has put us all in the same bag. There is a Minister (Petrovello) who starts crying and saying that they are making a bed for her when what is being asked of her is that they deliver food to the grandparents and children of the country,” he added.
At the same time he added that “this government acts with accusations, it acts telling us that we are managers of hunger, of poverty. We made the hunger queue and they did not receive us, we made rounds of empty pots and neither” and that “they act like this, accusing Kirchnerism, the organizations, the people who are hungry, the people who protest, the grandparents throwing gases.”
“In the neighborhoods you see sadness”
On the other hand, in response to the specific question from the table, the leader of the movement expressed the feelings that exist within the neighborhoods: “You see sadness, desolation. Today you have to face soup kitchens that used to open three times a week, then twice and now only once and they try to take turns so that in a neighborhood at least three times a week there is something to eat.”
“That is what this government is showing, that there are more and more colleagues who go out to collect cardboard, some try to go out to fight and look for money,” she added.
She then maintained that “we must understand that the workers of the popular economy are left with a salary of $78 thousand and this government takes you to the limit, not even to poverty” and that “on day 10 there are colleagues who do not have a peso in their pocket.”
“We will continue to belong to the street”
In the final part of the talk, the interviewee emphasized the mobilizations: “We understand that there are no protests because we are not cannon fodder for any government and in the last mobilization in which they locked us up, gassed us, ran us, hit us and did not stop us, we understood that the mobilizations will continue to be there. Because we left the street and we will continue to belong to the street, which is where we fight.”
“I think it is time for each one in their territory to start to emphasize. In Capital we are not mobilizing but we are in La Matanza and on Route 3, which is our historic place and we will continue to be in the streets. Let the government and the indiscriminate protocol of Patrica Bullrich not declare victory. They think that because they throw open causes at social organizations they will silence us,” she added.
In the final part he pointed out that “we are trying to calm down and contain, which is what this government has to understand, because there are colleagues who are not paid anything” and that “our concern in going out to protest is for them and so that it is understood that we are hungry. We are the most precarious economy in this country.”
