Debate: Bregman avoided solidarity with Israel and spoke of “bringing back the unions” – News from Argentina

The candidate for the Left and Workers Front (FIT), Myriam Bregman, She was the only candidate who started without mentioning the terrorist attack (“We are pained by the civilian victims,” he said and blamed Israel for having a policy of “occupation” against the “Palestinian people”).

“The coalitions that have been governing are broken, others appear as the new thing, but they are the old right, just a little disheveled,” he began by saying.

It was then that the reference to what happened in Israel came. “And one more thing: we are pained by the civilian victims, which occur in a conflict that is based on the State of Israel’s policy of occupation and apartheid against the Palestinian people,” he said.

Security

In security, the first issue, the leftist candidate directly attacked Patricia Bullrich.

“Patricia Bullrich, you and all those who promote the iron fist, failed. In a decade they increased the prison population by 97%, increased all laws, generating a true penal inflation. And what do they have to show? When she was a minister, she was proud to take photos in a kidnapping of 25 joints. Literally,” she attacked her.

“Every now and then he comes back with lowering the age of imputability. I would like you to tell us how far: until 12, until 10, until kindergarten? I want to clarify, Bullrich, that we are in an election where you elect the president, not the head of the penitentiary service,” he expressed.

Then he returned to the topic in one of the replies. “The right always says that the left doesn’t like to talk about insecurity, when we are the ones who live in a neighborhood like anyone else,” she remarked.

“What we don’t like is doing punitive demagoguery like they do, because big crime is organized from above. And that means talking about complicities in sectors of the security forces, politicians and judiciary,” warned the leftist candidate.

“It is very important to think about how we got here. From the financial entities law of the dictatorship to the present, all the legal framework that facilitates money laundering was dictated. We reached the extreme of what was voted in Congress, the simplified joint stock company law, voted by everyone during the Macri government, including the Schiaretti bloc. When this law was discussed, we told him that it was not to help entrepreneurs, that they were giving a paradise to drug traffickers. And that’s what happened. “Now everyone recognizes it,” he complained.

But he continued. “During the ’90s, with the privatization of ports, airports, and waterways, they also facilitated the infrastructure for drug shipments to enter and leave. That is why we must nationalize the ports under the control of the workers and repeal all that legislation that allows laundering and laundering,” he promised.

There, he spoke to the camera: “Look, anyone who shows you security problems as an isolated event is lying to you.”

Ask

At one point in the first block, Bregman spoke to Massa: “I would like to ask the minister if he can live on 124,000 pesos per month like retirees live, bonus included.”

“They want us to believe that labor problems are the fault of the fact that there are workers who have many rights and that if we take them away from everyone we will be happier. That’s what they talk to you about when they talk to you about the Uocra model,” she warned.

«You don’t have to tell me the reality, I am a deputy of the Left Front, I am a lawyer for workers, for recovered factories, and what I see is that today we are totally fragmented into workers under an agreement, under a social plan, monotributistas, outsourced . They generate that division to exploit us more every day,” she said.

He continued to attack the “traitor” union leadership that guarantees this fragmentation.

“That is why we have to recover the unions so that they are a tool of struggle, to unite what they divide, to show that we are the vast majority and that we have the strength to turn history around,” he explained.

Workday

Bregman proposed reducing the work day to 6 hours, 5 days a week. “And the hours that are free, let them be distributed among those who today do not have work or have precarious work,” he estimated.

“In this way, applied only to large companies, 1,200,000 genuine jobs could be generated, so that no one earns less than what the family basket costs, at a salary that is sufficient, of course, and without increasing work rates. ”, he promised.

“The way out is not by stepping on the head of the person next to you. He is fighting with unity so that those who never governed govern,” she hoped.

«Outside»

True to his style, at one point he crossed paths with Milie, and insulted him with a video in which the libertarian is seen eliminating ministries.

“Yes, when Milei speaks to you in difficult terms, she does it to hide her true plan: compensation?, outside; licenses? outside; Bonus? Outside. If you are a monotributist, precarious, unregistered you are already out. But with what Milei proposes you will not be better, they will not give you the rights that you do not have today, because the only freedom it defends is the freedom from being exploited without limits,” he explained.

“There are urgent measures that have to be taken. Immediate progressive taxes on idle housing, accessible mortgage loans now, and a National Housing Plan to solve the housing emergency. That the money does not go to the IMF, it goes to housing, and they stop evicting all those who demand housing in La Matanza as they did in Guernica,” he said.

Planet

“The capitalist system is destroying the planet. Droughts, fires, or heat, pollution and more pollution. And yet, all the candidates propose deepening the path of extractivism and the plundering of natural common goods. “Everyone agrees on that,” he complained.

“Once again the sorrows are ours and the cows are someone else’s,” he added, quoting Yupanqui.

“In Jujuy they made it clear, they are willing to do anything, as long as the companies advance and loot the lithium. That is the economic secret behind the call for National Unity by Sergio Massa, Governor Gerardo Morales and other governors. Another serious example, this national government has just authorized oil exploitation on the Atlantic coasts.”

“And I want to say one more thing before finishing: wetlands law now,” he asked.

He returned later to cross Milei again when he spoke about the planet. “I didn’t understand anything,” he told her. For me she got it from Yahoo Answers. And what was happening to her, she said it herself. Because the destruction of the planet is one of the clearest examples of the irrationality of this capitalist system that Milei defends. There are even plastic particles.”

Massa

Bregman, on several occasions, told Massa that he had an agreement with Milei.

“Sergio, they present Milei as a monster, and then they make lists for him. And yes, and you call him to the National Unity,” she assured, although she clarified: You forgot about me.”

“But you called Milei and Villarruel, do you know who you are going to be able to pay the IMF with and follow the adjustment plan? “Not with us, Sergio,” he said.
