The Police of the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, manifested this Wednesday asking for salary improvements, which escalated after two days of events and marches, awaiting a proposal to improve working conditions.
It all started this noon with the arrival of dozens of patrols and police officers to the presidential residence by Alberto Fernández, in the town of Olivos, with a demonstration that began on Monday in towns such as La Matanza and La Plata.
The patrols that reached the presidential residence in Olivos.
This after the agents rejected the first offer of the Buenos Aires government, in charge of the Kirchnerist Axel Kicillof, and it is expected that he will announce a salary increase for the provincial police on Thursday.
Meetings with the provincial authorities continued in search of an agreement, but the Police indicated that they were unsuccessful.
Specifically, the agents ask for a salary increase between 56 and 64 percent of the 30 thousand Argentine pesos they currently earn (one 307 thousand Chilean pesos), the right to form a union, greater sanitary measures (masks and alcohol gel) that they accuse they must buy themselves.
Fernández rejected the demonstration
The Argentine President, Alberto Fernández, questioned the methodology of the protest and he maintained that “I can understand any claim. What I am not willing to accept are certain forms of the claim because they have nothing to do with democratic life and with institutionalism.”
Fernández accompanied by Buenos Aires ministers, parliamentarians and mayors.
Fernández argued that “not everything is allowed at the time of claim” and pointed out that “this is not the way. I hope they reflect and stop as soon as possible with this mechanic (…). We will not accept that they continue with this mode of protest. I ask you please, amicably, democratically, to put down this attitude. “
The president described the police claim as “fair”, because “it is clear” that wages have been “backward” and “we must give them an answer.”
