In Geneva, Cristina defend subsidies as a way to avoid layoffs
Geneva. Cristina Fernández defend the president today before the plenary of the International Labor Organization (ILO), the subsidy policy implemented by his administration to avoid massive layoffs.
Cristina came to sunny and beautiful Geneva at noon yesterday, but made no statements. However, in line with its recent campaign speeches and the tenor of the ideas that have stood the delegates and union officers in the preparatory meetings of the ILO, and that left some evidence beyond Labor Minister Carlos Tomada, will definitions that may be missing. For instance:
“That in Argentina were kept employment levels. There are no massive layoffs. ” The numbers located here are managed in the country with unemployment at 8.4 percent, the same as in the first quarter of 2008, “said Tomada.
In addition, the President will defend the policy of subsidy to 75 thousand workers since the crisis to date, which is to give them 600 pesos per month, but the company’s commitment to cutting the link is not working. The Government will invest in this program of 120 million pesos every 12 months.
Will have a prominent place in his message to the proposal of Argentina and Brazil for the ILO is part of the G-20, the group that brings together the powerful countries, emerging and middle like ours.
The protocol stipulated that Cristina tells her to 16. Will do after their peers from France, Nicolas Sarkozy, and Brazil, Inacio Lula Da Silva, an advantage because it can respond, if necessary, especially the French premier. The difficulty that the minister has become Tomada fear is that as the President improvisation, translation conceals or distorts some of his sayings.
In previous discussions of the Council General of the ILO, the criterion was imposed to incorporate the final statement, the claim for a Global Employment. This theory, among others, was defended by the Argentine delegates led by the secretary job, Enrique Deibe.
We know that Europe, with Sarkozy in the lead, defends the idea of “flexi-security”, which means not interfering with the freedom of companies to fire workers. The contribution is to extend in time and amount of unemployment insurance and other mechanisms of protection to destitution.
In the ILO, at least in many nations affected by the crisis, there is no good environment for listening to neo-liberal recipes. Anyway, you can not rule out some crosses and mirrors, especially Cristina, which is a scenario in which to defend the policy of a state controller and a mediator between capital and labor as the proposed kirchnerismo.
Before going to the ILO, in the morning, the President will visit together the minister of Science and Technology, Lino Barañao-the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) responsible, inter alia, the construction of the largest accelerator world of atomic particles.
In this context, the minister signed with the director general of CERN, Rolf hour, and the director of the Laboratory of Instrumentation and Control (LIC), National University of Mar del Plata (UNdMdP), Mario Benedetti, a partnership between Argentine government and international institution.
The agreement will allow the development of high technology equipment for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the LIC of the University of Mar del Plata will collaborate in the design and construction of two new particle accelerators. CC
