Human Capital Minister Sandra Pettovello replaced traditional social programs with limited-reaching programs, suspended deliveries of medication for people with serious illnesses, closed ministry offices across the country, and canceled food deliveries to popular kitchens.

Yeah, those ARE the expected actions of someone appointed by "Captain AnCap" to a post that by its very name implies monetizing of human misery ๐Ÿคฌ

In response to today's mobilizations, Security Minister Patricia Bullrich threatened to activate her anti-riot protocol, which includes the intervention of federal forces to ensure "free circulation" in public spaces.

Popular kitchens is a mistranslation, it means soup kitchen/food bank where poor people are fed/given food.

"Ollas populares" - pots for the population
