The camp prepares a mobilization in the City of Buenos Aires: pressure from the bases for a tractorazo on April 23

Last night a group of self-summoned producers and members of rural inland met by zoom to start shaping a mobilization from the countryside to the Federal Capital. Although the schedule and route of the same have not been confirmed so far, the date will be April 23 under the slogan “The Field says Basta”. Producers will reach the heart of Buenos Aires, with tractors and trucks.

From this, it will be necessary to see the role of the leadership of the camp that makes up the Liaison Table, which so far has not commented on the various mobilizations being carried out inside, with assemblies and tractorazos, in rejection not only of the latest measures adopted by the Government, but also of politics which, according to producers, does not generate predictability and does not encourage investment.

In the assemblies of recent days, one of the main proposals that emerged was that of mobilization to large urban centers. One of them is the Federal Capital, but it is not ruled out that similar farmers' marches are also held in the interior of the country. It was also proposed immediately to carry out an agricultural strike, accompanied by a blockade on the revenues and expenditures of exporting ports.

“We do not want to make road cuts as a protest, because all of us who work need free movement,” said the producers of Crespo, Entre Ríos, last weekend, in relation to the mobilizations. That is why the organizers of the march to Federal Capital are thinking of doing it on a Saturday so as not to cause complications in traffic.

This weekend, the mobilizations will continue inside. Entre Ríos will once again become the venue for a new producers' protest. With the slogan “This far came the field. The producers say enough”, there will be a rally on Saturday from 4pm at the roundabout in the city of Chajarí. Within a week in the province there were already country marches in the districts of Crespo, Ceibas and Gualeguaychú, where among the main demands heard from the government was to lower tax pressure.

In relation to the latter, yesterday the Agricultural Foundation for the Development of Argentina (FADA) reported that in the first quarter of the year the State's share of agricultural income at all levels stood at 64.9 per cent, an increase of 1.7 points above that recorded in the last three months of 2021, when taxes accounted for 63.2 per cent of the total amount generated by a producer. Strictly speaking, this implies that in the first quarter of 2022, the State kept 64.9 pesos out of every 100 pesos that the Argentine farmer produced.

Today, the members of the Liaison Committee will start a series of meetings with presidents and members of the blocs that make up the Chamber of Deputies of the Nation. An initiative that had been decided at the last assembly led by the national leadership days ago in the Santa Fe district of Alcorta.

“After having held several meetings with officials of the national government, and seeing that the public policies that our sector needs do not arrive, but rather progress is being made with measures that have already failed, seeking different results, we have requested an audience with the parties that make up the Congress of the Nation,” they said. from the Liaison Table in a statement.

The agenda that will be developed by the Liaison Table today in Congress, includes meetings with blocks of the Chamber of Deputies, where one of the main topics to be analyzed is that of withholding. One of the most recent pronouncements by the leaders was to call for “Institutional Order”, with the aim of ensuring that deputies and senators should be responsible for legislating on withholding, after the Government's power to change rates expired on 31 December,
