Municipal workers of Moreno are considering filing a formal request with Intendant Mariel Fernández for the Executive to provide food boxes for the end-of-year festivities, in a context of a sharp loss in purchasing power and salaries that, according to their claims, have fallen below the basic food basket. According to the Argentine News Agency, the latest wage increases have been wiped out by rising prices, and many employees have had to go into debt to cover rent, utilities, and daily expenses. So far, the Executive has not made any statement on the request for food aid, but in the Intendant's circle, they recognize that there is «a very delicate social scenario» in the district. «There are colleagues who no longer make it to the middle of the month,» they stated, while demanding the reopening of collective bargaining and a year-end bonus. In parallel, the municipality is showcasing investments in public works and green spaces, such as the recent inauguration of Plaza 6 de Enero in Cuartel V, which fuels the discontent of sectors that question the prioritization of funds.
