Esteban “Gringo” Castro: “Either the government relies on the popular organization or on the IMF”

Esteban, “El Gringo” Castro He affirms that the majority of the candidates for president think that the adjustment has to be paid for by the poor. Half of the working population does not have collective labor agreements”, assured the social leader in Fontevecchia modeby net tv and RadioProfile (101.9).

Do you consider that the march on May 1 was an opposition mobilization?

It was not an opposition march, but we argued that the government either leans on the popular organizationsor is supported by the policy that is trying to implement the IM Fimplying higher fit and a more complex situation than the one we have now.

Larreta announced that, if he is president, he will end the intermediation of social plans, he stated that those who receive the Ciudadania Porteña program should receive job training courses and that he plans to remove the benefit for those who reject a job offer for the second time. What is his opinion of those ideas?

It seems to me that everyone they are specialists in attacking the poor. Most of those who are running for president have in their heads that the poor have to pay for the adjustment. This is not a problem of intermediation, for us it is not called “Social Plans”.

This is about the Complementary Social Salary which is the product of a struggle that we waged against the government of Mauricio Macrithat came with a adjustment planthat he could not develop it during the first years and that he dedicated borrow from the IMF to finish destroying our country. When they state that the problem is mediation, in reality what they are proposing is that our colleagues go to training and then cannot get a job. We are talking about compañeros and compañeras who they earn half the minimum, vital and mobile wage which today is at $84,000, that is, they charge $42,000. I ask any Argentine how long $42,000 lasts in his pocket.

Grabois denounced a strange event at his home and linked it to the Federal Revolution, but Justice gave him a setback

Would the solution be for the citizens who receive the benefit to have a better paid job than the one they currently have informally?

after the dictatorshipof alfonsinof Menem and of from the streetwe find that we have an increasing percentage of informal workers, no social burden, retirements and rights for which we were fighting. Half of the working population does not have collective labor agreements. that’s why we broke the idea of ​​”unemployed” that existed in the 90s and we began to talk about “popular economy” which is the economy that the people create in a community way.

Most of the workers in the popular economy are linked to the care economy and they have no rights. Yesterday, before the act, I had a small assembly with the compañeras who generated the community gardens They are not state owned, nor are they private. And the colleagues who work as kindergarten teachers are not getting paid. There is a very high level of precariousness and that is our fight. To the one who does politics what It bothers us that we have the capacity to mobilize.

You just indicated that most of the candidates have in mind that the adjustment is paid for by the poor. Do you include Sergio Massa in this statement?

I I never heard him say that he is going to be a candidate and I have to listen to what his proposal is. Only once did we participate in a meeting with him and He has no interest in listening to what we propose from the popular economy.
