Ten years after the first of March, Ni, less feminism gathered before the National Congress, accompanying the protest of pensioners, health workers and people with disabilities. Since the violation of fundamental rights is in the center of the collective requirement: the chainsaw of the ultraraza government, Havier Miley, dismantled state policy and gender programs and broke out pensions and wages.
Since the government of Mailey began in December 2023, the script has become alarming for the most vulnerable sectors of the Argentinean society. Maria Pia Lopez, a former member of Ni Mess Mess, academic and writer, participates in this mobilization and indicates Eldiario.es, which the current leader defined how enemies of feminism and every group that relies on non -profit social communications. “This is a homophobic, transbitral government, which also attacks the rights to pensioners and those who have disability. All the time begins with the idea that there is a set of the disposable population. Ten years ago, we said that our life says that it was the heart of movement. This government says that not all lives say that retired can be treated as quantity in a possible disappearance.
The report of the Argentinean economy and the political center (Cepa) emphasizes that in 2024, almost 20% of the state adjustment was explained by the loss of purchasing power to retirement and pensions. The minimum retirement is 304,726 pesos (224 euros), to which a bonus of 70,000 pesos frozen in March 2024 is added.
All problems related to rights They crossed this in March in the immediate vicinity of Congress in the Buenos -Aires center, while the emergency situation in favor of people with disabilities and an increase in retirement was discussed within the framework. Later, deputies will give half the sanctions for an increase of 7.2% of retirement and updating the bonus, which will become 110,000 pesos. Nevertheless, the government already expected that this initiative would impose a veto in the event of an attack on a financial balance.
Rita Merlot, mother Matthew, five years old, a child with a disorder in the development of the language, tells about the drama who lives in the sector, which the state determines. “They leave us completely disturbed, they do not pay five methods of treating my child. Since February, they do not pay my son therapists; They take the right to a companion in the educational field, which is very important for Matthew to continue to study. ”
The government plans to reduce at least 30% of the total disability pensions as a result of an audit, which public organizations condemned to the UN for incorrectness that they discovered in the process.
Ten years of struggle
There was not a single less, the most urgent: female. He mobilized the crowds and brought a consensus from which you can claim the state for its responsibility. According to feminist observatories, over these ten years there will be more than 2700 women. Ten years in which conquests were achieved, such as the law on gender parity and the right to abortion.
Lucy Kavalero, co -author of the book Reading feminist duty And the NI member at its beginning says that “the speed with which the Miles government attacks people as a whole, the feminist movement and trade union movement is the intensity of neoliberal shock, which has no experience for its ability to destroy.” “We need a political gesture of the whole struggle of all sectors, we need to grow in the transverse direction, in the ability of political coordination, in addition to internal, in addition to the elections, we need to encounter damage that causes these politicians today.”
The government dismantled the entire policy to prevent gender violence. 144 The telephone line of attention to the victims of sexist violence transferred a sharp reduction in personnel; The training of the law of Michaela (released in 2019 in honor of Michaela Garcia, victims of femicid origin), the Ministry of Women, as well as 13 gender programs depending on the Ministry of Justice, were closed.
Maria Pia Lopez warns about the consequences of the chainsaw for public administration. “For example, reductions influenced devices that were supposed to be related to the prevention and attention of gender violence, for example, drainage of central programs, such as accompanying people in a situation of threat of femicid violence that could not leave the violence schemes for economic reasons and may provide assistance from the state to do this. In a more general sense, when they attack them, that they attack them, that the attack on which the attack, to attack them, that they attack them, that they attack them, that the attack on which the attack, that the attack, to attack them, attacks them, that attacks them, that attacks them. Ideology.
“Privatization of care”
For Lopez, political power is fighting feminisms in the framework of the global ultra -right project. “When schools are not financed, when concrete attention is not financed for people with disabilities and people with disabilities, when they retire, in fact, what is being done is to create a growing privatization of leaving and privatizing care for vulnerable people or girls, falls on the feminized population. On the composition of women of labor and efforts. The story of the maid”
According to Kavalero, we will have to bet on unity on the street, by transversality, in order to protect the achievements of the Argentinean society. “We have a variety of institutional conquests, which, obviously, have their highest point of view in achieving an abortion law. The conquests were partial, there are many who were left without observance, for example, those that should be related to economic autonomy, access to housing construction, on the reward of the community, but, nevertheless, small or how it was achieved.
This time, the mass of protest retained security forces behind the fences. The fact is that every Wednesday the police hit and launches tear gas to small groups of pensioners.
