On the International Day of Human Rights and the Restoration of Democracy in Argentina, retirees and retirees presented a draft popular initiative bill to the legislature.
The whole of Córdoba took part in the collection of signatures certified by police and judicial authorities. With 38,800 signatures, the legal requirement was far exceeded.
It already has parliamentary status and this historical fact has been ignored by the national media.
The passives presented it. Without political or union flags.
It hurts my heart that no national broadcaster, radio or newspaper has repeated such a feat.
The commitments deserve recognition, as a popular initiative provided for in the country’s and provincial constitutions does not happen every day.
Where is this Argentina that protests with marches and does not do so for semi-direct democracy? I ask you, have you ever heard that a popular initiative is being presented?
How deaf, blind and stupid some media are!
I’m ashamed, and it’s not that we didn’t inform them, they just ignored us.
Inform people, but not with banal news. I hope that our journalism will also change, because Argentina is not Buenos Aires, there is also Córdoba.
A pensioner who is outraged by so much indifference.

Voices, complaints and waiting from pensioners
The president left us retirees a disastrous Christmas present.
Fuel prices rose by an average of 4% a few days ago. This impacts rising commodity prices, production costs and distribution logistics.
It affects both active and passive consumers, although they do not receive anything equivalent.
Milei, his advisors and some ministers are destroying the country. They are incompetent and heartless. He lied to all of us.
It freed up imports, devastated SMEs, businesses and traders, and left a trail of closed businesses and unemployed people.
There is an uncontrolled increase in medicines, food and personal supplies, and salaries and pensions are far below these figures.
Electricity and gas are no longer subsidized. They continue to decimate public organizations, science and technology and affect production and development.
They want to pass a shameful labor reform law and a shameful criminal code that Congress will hopefully reject. Only stateless people do that.
They leave no puppet behind and continue to put us in debt in the best populist style, doing secret deals with the US and the IMF.
He travels the world with his entourage in search of trifles, as if the situation was flourishing and they were squandering money from a melted country. What’s more, they come from the same undesirable lineage that has ruled us for more than 100 years.
Poverty exceeds 60% and inflation is dragging like the dollar, with a rampant recession. A mockery.

Pensioners cannot be bored. My wife (82 years old) had an appointment with the phlebologist at Zubizarreta Hospital on December 12th at 2:00 p.m.
We arrived at 1:35 p.m. and it was closed. A sign indicated that you had to enter through the guardhouse.
As we made our way to the clinics, a lady asked us where we were going. We responded to the offices and he told us they were closed. Check with Guard Admissions.
There they told us that they would build new offices after demolishing the old ones. They were supposed to serve in a tent in the parking lot for the time being.
Since we hadn’t heard anything about it at the hospital or anywhere else, I asked why they hadn’t notified us. The girl didn’t know the reason.
He told us to come back next Friday to see if they would respond. I expressed my anger (almost 84 years old) as politely as possible and we left.
When I returned, I wondered if perhaps it was an arrangement with a “friendly” construction company. As was the case a few years ago, an office is approving megaprojects that do not solve the housing shortage problem.
They’re just ruining the city. The rich are moving away and leaving the previous houses empty. But dirty silver needs to be washed. TRUE?

I know that I’m dreaming. In Argentina there are thousands of pensioners who are “brick rich and money poor”: They live in apartments worth $150,000 or $200,000 and survive on a minimum pension while heirs wait for succession.
I propose to discuss a simple scheme: that insurers, under strict government regulation, acquire bare ownership of these properties and pay the pensioner a monthly income until his death, covering all the expenses of the department.
The pensioner is still at home; Your home ceases to be a mausoleum of future inheritance and becomes a present income.
The paradox is that in this almost Macondian country the state does not create trust to ensure such a thing.
This government has done many things well, but also – as my mother said – the imperial strife is obvious: corruption cases like the Libra case, which is still open, and the administration of disability pensions, etc.
However, he finds time to discuss buying 40-year-old used F-16s and obsolete submarines while the old ones count coins.

“He who doesn’t cry doesn’t suck, and he who doesn’t try is a fool.” The bonus does not apply to employees and pensioners.
It is aimed at retailers who increase the prices of products by 20 to 40% (food and beverages).
Beyond what lying bureaucrats say.
Let’s not be hypocrites. Then don’t cry if they don’t sell. Opportunism and cynicism.
