Buenos Aires, April 7 (NA) – Various political parties of the Left Front are preparing a demonstration in rejection of the reform to the Glacier Law for this Wednesday in the vicinity of the Congress, which includes a vigil until the time of the vote in the Chamber of Deputies. According to what Argentine News Agency learned, a first concentration was called for 1 PM in front of the Legislative Palace, while a march from Avenida de Mayo and 9 de Julio towards the Congress is scheduled for 5 PM, with a street presence until the vote is held. During the vigil, an artistic festival will be held with musicians committed to the cause against the advance against the Glacier Law. Former national deputy Juan Carlos Giordano, a leader of the Socialist Left, denounced that 'the government of Javier Milei intends to deliver the glaciers to the mining companies for 30 years, modifying the current law and articulating itself with the RIGI, with the complicity of different business blocs.' 'It cannot be that the life and ecosystems of our country are speculated with! We call for a great mobilization so that the law is not modified,' he pointed out. In turn, national deputy of the Left Front Nicolás del Cañó warned that 'governors and mining companies, with bribes and lobbying, want to tear down the law that protects the water of the entire country.' 'Their plan: looting, pollution and destruction. We have to be in the street,' exhorted the PTS leader. Meanwhile, his benchmate in the FIT, deputy Néstor Pitrola, stated that as a 'worker and socialist deputy' he will take to the Chamber of Deputies 'the voice of the peoples that fight against this predatory and colonial reform of the Glacier Law.' 'Neither with the fake audience nor with this commission plenary session will they be able to silence the voice of the fighters. Tomorrow everyone to the congress to defend water and the glaciers,' he urged.
