Piqueteros also require urgent approval of emergency food laws, family farming, social infrastructure and the addiction emergency. They are also asking for the budget for the law on the urbanization of working clbad neighborhoods.

Piqueteros ask Minister Stanley to open a channel of dialogue. "We want to meet again with the minister to find solutions to the problems," Alderete said. He added: "We expect the whole of January to be called but there was no contact, which is why we mobilized in February".
