“We are developing our potential presentation as National Government for the Supreme Court for unconstitutionality of the articles of the Constitution that Morales intends to impose in relation to the copulation of the right to protest and strike,” said the official on Thursday, June 22, on the program wild morning by Radius 10.
The minister specified that the presentation also includes “the without regard to international agreements in relation to the prior consultation that must be made to the original peoples in the cases in which their patrimony is intervened”.
“This constitution contradicts rights enshrined in the rights of the National Constitution and international agreements that have a supralegal character in the Argentine Republic”, argued Olmos regarding the questioned reform of the Constitution of Jujuy.

Likewise, the official who stated “There is no precedent for what Morales is trying to do” and insisted that the modifications applied to the Magna Carta contradict the international agreements incorporated in the constitutional reform of 1994.
“It is very important to emphasize that this discussion is not in as much order or disorder as Morales or Together for Change want to establish. The issue is that in a modern society we all aspire to social peace, but social peace cannot come on the basis of the unilateral imposition of the one who has more power over the weaker“, he remarked.
Referring to the police repression that occurred during the incidents, the minister said that social peace “has to do with dialogue, on the basis of the agreement and on the basis that the workers, the most humble, the original peoples, can participate in an organized social dialogue that reaches consensus“.
“Constitutions are fundamental pieces of legal organization. How is a Constitution or a constitutional reform of a province practically in the shadows going to be approved? Without a public debate, without the construction of an agreement”, he questioned.
Olmos stated that “It cannot surprise us that people feel violated and go out to protest”. In addition, he made reference to the accusations of the Jujuy governor that the protests were carried out by “infiltrators” who came from outside the province.
“With all the people they have detained, can they prove it?” Olmos raised and said that the protests and demonstrations “are the product of the very policies that are carried out.”

Along these same lines, the minister added: “It is part of their electoral campaign the idea of assuming that there is a society that seeks to reduce the rights of those who are working. They bring it up all the time.”
“We in this administration, with enormous difficulties due to inheritance, the pandemic, the war and the drought, we have returned to a historical record of job creation, without destroying a single right, on the contrary, expanding”, he maintained and concluded: “You can create work. They insist as if they had nothing to do with the thousand jobs they destroyed.”
