Bullrich Says Labor Reform Will Liberate People from 'Poverty Managers'

The head of the La Libertad Avanza bloc in the Senate, Patricia Bullrich, enthusiastically supported the labor reform initiative and emphasized that one of the government's purposes is that 'the rights of workers are not the property of a caste,' while highlighting that the people who received a social plan 'liberated' themselves and 'sent to hell' the 'managers of poverty.' In her closing speech on the 'labor modernization' project, the former Minister of Security stated that the Javier Milei administration 'demonstrated that the best social policy was not a plan, but conditions for there to be possibilities for investment and work.' 'This is the first opportunity we cannot miss. Do you know what they had? A poverty manager. We cannot go back to the plans that were defended for so many years. The most difficult thing for someone living in slavery is to realize that they are a slave. A lie! They realized they were being exploited by the one who said he was giving them benefits,' she reflected. And she continued: 'They realized they could get out of slavery. They are not stupid. Argentina wants to grow again.'
