The CGT sent a harsh message against Sandra Pettovello for her refusal to receive the picketers

The General Confederation of Labor (CGT) This Monday he released a harsh statement against the Minister of Human Capital, Sandra Pettovellowho did not receive this morning the picketers who demanded food for soup kitchens in front of his wallet, even though he had said last Thursday that he was going to serve “the people who are hungry” “one by one.”

“Are people hungry? Let them come… I am going to serve the hungry people one by one.“said the official in an ironic video that the CGT shared on Friday through X (former Twitter) and which ended with part of the song Excuse the Lordby Joan Manuel Serrat, who sings that “there are a couple of poor people” who “do not ask for alms”, but rather “they are poor who have nothing at all”.

Despite her statements, the minister did not receive the picketing groups that demonstrated this Monday in front of her portfolio’s headquarters. “I did not summon the people to be under the sun, the leaders summoned them. The other day, seeing them at the door of the ministry, I went down to assist them due to a specific situation. But this time I am not going to receive them because I did not summon them. “They were the leaders who use people and make them stand in line under the sun,” he apologized.

Hours after that refusal, late at night, the CGT published a message on social networks strong statementwhich he titled ironically in reference to Pettovello’s statements: “Guys, are you hungry?”.

“With this arrogant, insensitive and discriminatory phrase“The minister exhibited the political attitude of the national government in the face of the claims that social organizations make after the cut in state aid in food for community kitchens and soup kitchens,” she began.

He then stressed that “the last link of human dignity is exhausted when the most basic need, which is to feed, cannot be met,” while claiming that “in the face of the urgent condition of hunger, there can be no other priority.” “. than an active response and an attitude of elementary compassion, prior to any ideological position.

With a surprising and implicit criticism of the Government of Alberto FernándezThe CGT recognized that the people are being “punished for a long time by the scourge of inflation”, which “unfortunate or inefficient government efforts could not or did not know how to channel for the well-being of the vast majority of the population”.

On the other hand, he emphasized that “the risk of a food crisis with unforeseeable consequences is just around the corner,” since “the different economic variables” are “composing an unusually critical panorama for the coming months.”

“That is why we warn: It is not with the arrogance of closing the doors to those who claimnor with the indifference of turning a deaf ear to those in need, how can we move forward within a framework of sanity and dialogue towards solutions,” he concluded.
