Argentina: Songs against Layoffs

Por By Martin Hacthoun

Buenos Aires, Jan 30 (Prensa Latina) Several artists in the capital encouraged a cultural festival against layoffs being done today by the Argentine government in the public sector, which amounted to 25 thousand according to the counter created in social networks, The Despidómetro.
Artistic activity of protest coincided with the launch, also in Buenos Aires, of the campaign "Macri para la mano" (Macri stop your hand), organized through Twitter and Facebook, and whose promoters announced that will hold activities the 29th of each month.

On a makeshift stage on the Buenos Aires Alem avenue facing the majestic Kirchner Cultural Centre (CCK) were interpreters and union leaders, and between songs and speeches repudiated the labor policy applied by the administration of Mauricio Macri.

Those who answered the call of the campaign Macri para la mano met on two central points, the intersection of Avenida de Mayo and 9 de Julio, and across from the Obelisk.

From there chanting slogans marched together Corrientes Avenue to join in Alem the artistic festival against dismissal.

Political and social groups, including antagonistic during the previous government, now manifest themselves together under the common denominator that 'an injury to one is an injury to all, "according to banners and placards reflecting the unity that begins to take shape in the desintegrated Argentine masses.
