00:00 In Argentina, state workers went on a national strike for 48 hours in rejection of the possible
00:06 wave of layoffs by the government of Javier Millet.
00:09 Millet's cabinet announced that 30% of the workers on their collective bargaining agreements
00:14 will not have their annual contracts renewed.
00:18 In this sense, the State Workers Association started a national strike on Monday as part
00:23 of the day of struggle against the threat of dismissals of a group of Senasa workers.
00:28 The union pointed out that the measure could affect the operation of the country's ports,
00:33 airports and customs, and also warned that with this decision the government is pushing
00:39 tens of thousands of state workers into poverty.
00:48 Pope Francis lamented on Tuesday the advance of drug trafficking and violence in the Argentine
00:53 city of Rosario, and urged to work for peace.
00:56 The Supreme Pontiff pointed out in a video that it is necessary to understand the need
01:01 for the presence of security forces to bring peace to the community.
01:05 However, he admitted that in order to reach the path of peace, complex and integral answers
01:11 must be found with the collaboration of all the institutions that make up the life of
01:16 a society.
01:17 Pope Francis emphasized the search for consensus and dialogue to generate laws and public policies
01:24 that recover the social structure.
01:26 He also warned about the complicity of the private sector and affirmed that there is
01:30 a great task ahead for the business world, not only in the prevention of complicity in
01:35 businesses with mafia organizations, but also in social commitments.
