An official MP rejected the cut for assignments

Milenium, the legislator in power, warned that "Patagonia is an area of ​​small population, poorly represented politically, as a demographic consequence and sometimes it targets the big cities". In this sense, he argues that the measure taken by the ANSES "will have an impact including the next payment" family allowances.

The government raises the floor and lowers the salary cap to collect family allowances, a measure that will affect and eliminated a differential system that affected more than 100,000 children in the provinces of Patagonia and some northern poor regions which in this case represents a reduction of more than 50%. [19659002] By the amendments, the value of the family allowance per child may fall between 50 and 75% in some provinces. Since September, registered workers from the provinces of Chubut, Santa Cruz, Tierra del Fuego and the departments of Catamarca, Jujuy and Salta collect what is called "general value". This "general value" per child amounts to 1,578 pesos for the metropolitan area of ​​Buenos Aires and most provinces, but has increased between 3,155 and 3,407 pesos in the districts mentioned.

Meanwhile, in statements to the newspaper Jornada, MP Menna announced that he had already communicated with other legislators of the UCR that "they also raised the rejection of the measure ". "We share the objective of improving public finances and reducing the deficit, but we must find another way that takes into account the most vulnerable sectors and the uneven geographical development of our country" . , the Chubut Provincial Committee of the RCU had stated in a statement its "rejection of the measure for not considering a vested right based on the higher cost of residence in this deferred homeland area". "The measure aims to equalize the benefits among all workers, but this goal can only be achieved at the expense of Patagonian workers" said the agency.
