The Madreselvas cooperative of urban reclaimers, with the support of Amanecer de los Cartoneros and the Álamo, announced that it will hold a press conference this Wednesday at 5 p.m. in repudiation of the measure announced by the Buenos Aires Executive to fine those recyclers who remove waste from containers that are located in the Autonomous city of Buenos Aires. In an official statement to which this agency had access, the organization denounced that the project that bears the signature of the current Minister of Public Space and Urban Hygiene and elected Vice Head of Government, Clara Muzzio, “hides increasing the persecution” of the formal cartoneros and informals of the recycling system and called for a measure of force for next Thursday at 10 in the morning, with a strike and mobilization towards the Buenos Aires legislature to demand the annulment of the bill that modifies the misdemeanor code. “Who can imagine that the authorities anywhere could fine a person who is searching a container, whether in search of recyclable material, food or clothing?” "We demand that they reverse the project, that there be an end to the persecution and the kidnapping of bags and cars by the inspection forces that exist throughout the City," the organization, which has already held assemblies in the places where recyclers work. “Who can imagine that the authorities anywhere could fine a person who is searching a container, whether in search of recyclable material, food or clothing?” they denounced. In that sense, they argued that "the poor and the homeless are not responsible for the situation of exclusion that they live in, and a fine is not going to change that reality."
