I´m a 32-year-old Argentinian and I can openly say I support the farmers. I do not support them because I´m wealthy and profit from the agricultural produce. I support them because what they claim is fair. There are endless little towns, villages and bigger cities in the provinces that live off agriculture, and the fact that I live in a big city allows me to see that we have no idea whatsoever about what the provinces would face if this tax were allowed to take its course. The money levied by means of this tax would not go back to the provinces, as it is 'no coparticipable', meaning that it will be used in its entirety at the discretion of the president, who openly dislikes farmers. She continuously refers to them as right-wing, greedy, and irresponsible... But I can assure you I have never seen such a stubborn behaviour in a president, turning this into a personal fight, which will clearly make us all lose. There is something that worries me above all... she clearly favours populist groups of unemployed people (though their leaders earn thousands of dollars a month as newly-appointed government officials), and she spends lavish amounts on welfare plans, which are handed out by local politicians at their discretion, even giving plans to their own relatives who are not unemployed. These politicians then force the benefitiaries of the plans to attend political rallies, campaigns, demonstrations, acting as rent-a-mobs, etc. So my question is... a party/government that use these welfare plan benefitiaries as their underlying force, as their strong popular arm, will ever want them to get jobs? Will they ever allow these 'followers' to take up a craft, a trade, to work and earn their own salaries so that they learn how good it feels to provide for your own children? Will they ever foster their real inclusion, their access to a good education, to university studies? I believe the answer is no. This government is using them. This government wants them to remain unhappy, ignorant, easily manipulated. Did you know that it is hard for farmers to find workers in the provinces who are willing to work legally, because most get welfare plans and so they need to work illegally... the plan is not good enough and at the same time stops them from getting real jobs? Farmers want to work, that´s what they do rain or shine all year long. And yes, there are wealthy owners of large farms involved in the protests... and there are also several incredibly wealthy farm owners WITHIN the government, the trade union leaders, and all of their relatives. This country needs to leave hipocrisy aside, and protect those who want to work and make this country a better place. Unfortunately, we seem to be getting the results we deserve for not working together... I just hope this does not lead us into violence. TODOS somos campo!
