“I convey my adherence and solidarity to this and all the marches of our piquetero people, who demand food, dignity and work. A big hug”, were the words that the artist spread through a video that is already circulating on social networks.
In the message, the artist claims the action of the unemployed and precarious workers before the economic policy of the national government and its ministers.
The piquetero organizations announced a torchlight march from the Pueyrredón Bridge to Plaza de Mayo, where they will set up a piquetero encampment to demand “against the adjustment of the IMF and the government”, which is expressed “in cuts to social programs, food shortages, non-delivery of tools and the adjustment in social spending items in the midst of a deterioration in the purchasing power of workers and the unemployed”.
