Overview

• Unidad Piquetera, Polo Obrero and allied groups marched from Plaza Constitución to the former Social Development building to demand the return of supplies to comedores.
• Organizers allege the ministry cut assistance to more than 45,000 kitchens, claims they say reflect months without food deliveries and large funding shortfalls.
• The Ministry of Capital Humano says duly registered comedores continue to receive support under a new system of direct cash transfers instead of centralized food purchases.
• An access-to-information response stated the ministry conducted technical supervisiones and not a formal audit, while officials point to a Sigen audit of the Renacom that reportedly found irregularities.
• Leaders announced replicas of the protest in provincial capitals, and the demonstration in Buenos Aires coincided with separate labor actions such as the Garrahan hospital strike.
