In that sense, the leader of Barrios de Pie assured that, after the “effort” that has to be made regarding this “economic adjustment”, in Milei’s government “there is a wrong focus, dangerous for democratic coexistence”especially after Minister Petovello made an announcement this Monday afternoon in which He asserted that “there will be no dialogue” with those who exercise their free right to protest.
Menéndez warned that “we are at the gates of a very complex social scenario,” Therefore, their organization “is preparing a request for an audience with the minister to express the desire to spend a Christmas in peace and without hunger.”
Furthermore, in his message Petovello announced that “The government of Javier Milei will begin to audit all organizations that deliver social plans” and that it will begin “a process to eliminate intermediation.”

“For now it is being persecuted in the media or in verbal terms. One cannot help but see it as a threat on the part of a minister: faced with not being able to exercise the right to protest, which is a constitutional right, counter-affect the assets of those who protest. Throughout our history we know how these adventures end,” he concluded.
