ARGENTINA | NOVEMBER 12, 2024—Last Wednesday, two cruelties carried out by different expressions of the Argentine ultra-right became evident. On the one hand, the perverse response of PAMI to the proposal of organizations of retirees regarding the recent provisions of the Social Work, especially in relation to medicines. On the other hand, the repressive attitude towards those same colleagues exercised by the Buenos Aires City police commanded by Diego Kravetz, Jorge Macri’s subordinate. This character is the one who maintains that one should not help a hungry person to avoid them getting used to receiving help, he is the same one who before landing in the Buenos Aires government believed himself to be the “sheriff” of Lanús, persecuting poor girls and boys.
As can be seen, not only is the national government maintaining the policy of adjustment against retirees, but at the same time the repression against them is deepening. This time it was the turn of the Buenos Aires City Police to act.
For these guys, every opportunity is good to demonstrate their hatred towards workers.
Faced with this incontestable reality, we must work towards the unity of the working class in order to defeat the far-right project. Likewise, generate the political initiatives that allow us to build a just and democratic society defined by workers.
