The Government disassociated itself from the protest in Misiones: “We cannot interfere, it is a conflict between parties and the State is not one of them”
The salary claim made by police and teachers in the province of Misiones has become an agenda item that the national authorities monitor daily, although at the moment they do not plan to intervene directly.


“Teachers depend on the provincial government , therefore the national government cannot interfere in that negotiation or in that conflict, which is between parties and the (national) State is not one of them ,” Adorni summarized at the press conference. that he offered this morning at the Casa Rosada.


The presidential spokesperson clarified that Javier Milei's administration “is attentive to what is happening, to how the events unfold,” and predicted that the conflict “will be resolved” because “the province will rise to the occasion.” ” .


Adorni also stated that the Minister of the Interior, Guillermo Francos, “speaks with all the governors, also with the governor of Misiones,” and added: “ Of course we are attentive to how the events unfold and assisting citizens as we can do.” ”.


The spokesperson's statements coincide with what different officials have been saying. In fact, also today, the Minister of the Interior, Guillermo Francos, stated that it was a problem to which the province had to find a solution.


“I spoke with the governor, of course, these days two or three times. We made ourselves available. It is an issue to which the province clearly has to find a solution ,” said the minister in statements to Radio Rivadavia.

“The Government cannot get involved in trying to solve the problems because they have their methodologies, their ways.” he added she.

Today marks exactly one week since the beginning of the protests in Misiones, when local police officers began to demand salary improvements with the takeover of the Radioelectric Command of Regional Unit 1.

From that moment on, the conflict was a see-saw. First it was minimized by the administration of Hugo Passalacqua and limited to a mere judicial problem, caused by the uprising of retirees with little presence of active personnel. But the intervention of federal forces on Sunday to clear Uruguay Avenue in front of the Command led to an exacerbation. On Monday the dialogue was cut off.

This Thursday, negotiations with security personnel resumed. The authorities returned with an offer that they had sworn they could not grant hours before. Instead of increasing salaries by 20%, the increase would be 30%. The assembly, which brings together less than two hundred uniformed personnel from a force made up of more than 10,000, said no. And the offer was rejected .

However, the province added another focus of conflict, which, although it has been going on for several weeks, deepened in the midst of the conflict scenario with the Police. This Thursday, the teachers marched alone to the Legislature . They wanted to enter the session, breaking the fence placed previously . The Police prevented it with violence. The balance was 20 affected people who required medical attention.

In the House of Representatives, the ruling party approved a repudiation of the way in which police officers demanded improvements in their income . He pointed out that the losses due to the movement amount to about 10 million pesos per day.

Furthermore, the deputy of the Frente Renovador Luis Pastori pointed out during his speech that the crises of the provinces with their public employees appeared after two measures by Javier Milei's government: the devaluation and the supervening inflationary process. And he evaluated that in Misiones it was resolved as of May 30 with the increases that the Executive branch had ordered.

Opposition lawmakers left the session to see what was happening outside. Those who left were Ariel Pianesi and Horacio Loreiro. The teachers received them badly. To the chant of “sons of p…”, they reproached them for supporting the measures of Javier Milei's government.
