The tractor in the city of Buenos Aires is a relief for 100,000 producers who have made their claims heard “tired” of tax pressure.

Rosario Quijano and Sol Dominguez Quijano, the couple, came from San José de la Esquina, south of Santa Fe, to protest against the “tax coercion they have to bear.” They are part of the tractor attack organization, informing through brochures and cartography the reality of the field and trying destroy the biases that remain in the sector.

“I am the last generation and I don’t want to get lost in the field, as has happened to other producers ”, warns Sol, who is just 27 years old, who runs the family business and is one of the promoters of the gatherings held in Zavalla. “All Argentines have a reason to be part of the protest in the countryside because if things go wrong in the countryside, the country will go wrong; the people there do not know how much the countryside contributes and the State now takes more than 70% of our revenues ”, said the girl.

Natalia Zarate This is another of the producers who are at the demonstration venting their anger against the Government. “I am for taxes that do not allow us to live”, He claimed while waving the flag sitting in the window of a car.

“A kilo of yerba mate cannot cost 35 pesos and they charge us 47% tax,” the producer explained the situation. “How is it that yerba reaches a kilo of 500 pesos or more on the gondola. Taxes go to the main basket of Argentines!”, Exclaimed amid the horns of the yerba mate producers’ family.

Edward Sanchez is a wine producer who traveled from San Juan to show solidarity “with producers from all over the country because they are the ones who sustain all the madness we go through.” He works on 20 acres where he produces grape vines, for wine, must and raisins, in the town of Angaco.

Sánchez went to complain to Buenos Aires because inflation is killing regional economies. “We will only collect the grapes we harvested in March between now and the end of the year,” he criticized. Another of the reasons why it was mobilized was because of the split of the exchange rate. “The bag makes us, we are out of place because 98% of the grapes that are going must be exported and since there is a split, there is no demand for grapes, so that means more grapes will be made into wine and prices are depressed,” explained the producer from in San Juan.

Vito Reigenborn He traveled 1,400 kilometers from the Impenetrable Chaco and was one of the first to arrive in Buenos Aires. “We are here because of the excessive taxes we have, they have overwhelmed all our production, it was almost a theftwe have to produce 80% to pay taxes and 20% to pay farm expenses, there is no activity that can maintain it, “explained the cattle farmer.

“It’s time for us producers to take the lead because it’s unbearable: we’ll put down our arms and watch what happens or we’ll go out to protest to be heard for ourselves,” Reigenborn said. And he added: “We’re putting the country on our shoulders and the political class is hanging on to all the weight we already have, it’s time for the political class to make an effort and free us a little, to let us take of air to produce “.
