Buenos Aires, Nov 15 (Prensa Latina) President-elect Alberto Fernandez met on Friday with a wide range of Argentine sectors and personalities to draft the first steps in his plan to tackle hunger in the South American country.
'Hunger is a consequence of an economic structure that does not work, where there is a lack of jobs, lack of investment, where workers face a lot of abuse,' Fernandez said, who will take office on December 10 with the objective of ending inequalities in the nation.
Fernandez explained to those gathered that Argentina faces the challenge of tackling hunger, an issue also closely linked to the quality of health.
'The State paid no attention to health prevention and diseases that were eliminated have reappeared. We are going to have to work hard,' he urged those present in the meeting, including the President of Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo, Estela de Carlotto, and TV host Marcelo Tinelli.
'I hope it is not just a government plan but a social decision, that as a community we stand up to end hunger,' Fernandez stressed and called an open round table, stressing that there has been a loss of consciousness regarding the reality of this phenomenon, turned into a mere statistic.
