During a ceremony in Mar del Plata City, the Argentine leader publicly confirmed his new initiative by including about 9,000 children in the more than four million who are paid with $9,795 Argentine pesos monthly (about USD$53) and $31,900 Argentine pesos (USD$172) in case of any disability.

Concerning minors, their relative or guardian are in charge of collecting the corresponding financial relief, yet they must guarantee minors comply with the corresponding school cycle and vaccination plans.

Children must be treated as subjects of rights, men and women who can grow and develop in a more egalitarian society that protects, welcomes and embraces them, said Fernandez.

We have the obligation to take care of those who need it most. There is no better show of love than taking care of those who are growing, he added, while announcing that the AUH amount will continue to be updated according to domestic economic indicators.

We do nothing but social justice. We want to expand the rights of Argentines and cracking down on poverty must be a permanent task of those who exercise politics.
