Press Release 1631 "Wednesday for Retirees" July 4, 2023

JULY 9, 1816 / 2023 At 207 years, we find ourselves in a Latin America inserted in a deep crisis of the world capitalist system and in an Argentina where the government agreements with the IMF (for the renegotiation of the illegitimate, illegal, fraudulent and odious external debt) deepen the adjustments and they demand labor and social security reforms, -open or covert-. The result of these policies is reflected in the rates of poverty, indigence, labor marginality and retirement with a minimum credit for the month of June of $69,000.- (out of pocket) plus an arbitrary bonus until September (which receives 60%). and whose sum only covers 35% of the Basic Basket of an older person. 85% of all retirees and pensioners do not access it. That is why the historical mandate of July 9, 1816, when the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata declared the Independence of our territory, becomes more valid than ever. This decision to confront the Spanish colonial power implied infinite sacrifices for the popular sectors that left their lives on the battlefields: blacks, native peoples, Creoles, made up the popular army. This war for liberation was joined by the group of Latin American peoples, who starred and still star in the struggles for national and social liberation, in a world without exploiters or exploited. Our history shows that for its achievement it is essential to promote popular power, with the capacity to confront and defeat the ruling classes, allied to the imperialist power of the day, facing all possible speculation. The fight for the definitive independence continues in force, it is a fight for the equality and dignity of our people. Therefore, as members of the working class, as part of the struggles of the workers and the people, the retirees and pensioners, we assume this challenge. AGAINST THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT AND THE IMF! NO TO EXTERNAL DEBT PAYMENT! CANCELLATION OF THE GOVERNMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE IMF ENOUGH OF ADJUSTMENT, LOOTING, EXTRACTIVISM AND DEPENDENCIES! THE DEBT IS TO THE PEOPLE AND NATURE! THAT THE RESOURCES GO TO RESOLVE THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE: WAGES, WORK, RETIREMENTS, HEALTH, EDUCATION, HOUSING AND CARE. THE ADJUSTMENT IS ALSO THROUGH INFLATION. MINIMUM SALARY EQUAL TO THE FAMILY BASKET. MONTHLY UPDATE OF SALARIES, RETIREMENTS AND SOCIAL PROGRAMS. FOR THE TRIUMPH OF ALL THE WORKERS AND POPULAR STRUGGLES DOWN WITH THE CRIMINALIZATION OF THE PROTEST. SOLIDARITY WITH THE PEOPLE OF JUJUY ENOUGH OF REPRESSION. FREEDOM TO THE DETAINEES.
