It's no secret, most of us would like to stay in our own home as we age. Yet, sometimes our loved ones just need a little extra help to remain comfortable at home. That's where Always Best Care can help....we are dedicated to exceeding expectations....always
They say that your golden years are the best years of your life. For most older Americans, that's how it should be - a time to relax, reflect, and live life in a familiar place. After all, senior citizens in the U.S. have worked tirelessly to build a better economy, serve their communities, and raise families.
However, as seniors grow older, completing daily tasks like showering and enjoying activities such as visiting the historic Forts Randolph & Buhlow State Historic Site gets harder without someone by their side. Unfortunately, many older Americans aren't able to rely on their adult children for help. The reality in today's world is that family members do not have the skills or time to dedicate to caring for their parents. That's where Always Best Care Senior Services comes in.
Our in-home care services are for people who prefer to stay at home as they grow older but need ongoing care that family or friends cannot provide. More and more older adults prefer to live far away from long-term, institutionalized facilities and closer to the place where they feel most comfortable - their home. Home care in Olla, LA is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in America. When given a choice, older adults most often prefer to grow older at home. An AARP study found that three out of four adults over the age of 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they age.
When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.
The truth is, as we age, we begin to rely on others for help. When a family is too busy or lives too far away to fulfill this role, in-home senior care is often the best solution. Home care services allow seniors to enjoy personal independence while also receiving trustworthy assistance from a trained caregiver.
At Always Best Care, we offer a comprehensive range of home care services to help seniors stay healthy while they get the help they need to remain independent. As your senior loved one gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.
To give our senior clients the best care possible, we offer a full spectrum of in-home care services:
If your senior loved one has specific care needs, our personal care services are a great choice to consider. Personal care includes the standard caregiving duties associated with companion care and includes help with tasks such as dressing and grooming. Personal care can also help individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes.
Common personal care services include assistance with:
Sometimes, seniors need helpful reminders to maintain a high quality of life at home. If you or your senior has trouble with everyday tasks like cooking, our home helper services will be very beneficial.
Common home helper care services include assistance with:
Using this kind of care is a fantastic way to make life easier for you or your senior loved one. At Always Best Care, our talented caregivers often fill the role of a companion for seniors. That way, older adults can enjoy their favorite local activities, such as visiting Olla Town Park with friends while also receiving the care they need daily or weekly.
Common companionship services include:
According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local Burger Barn or visit Olla Monument, don't feel bad. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.
At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.
If you have been on the fence about non-medical home care, there has never been a better time than now to give your senior the care, assistance, and companionship they deserve.
Always Best Care in-home services are for older adults who prefer to stay at home but need ongoing care that friends and family cannot provide. In-home care is a safe, effective way for seniors to age gracefully in a familiar place and live independent, non-institutionalized lives. The benefits of non-medical home care are numerous. Here are just a few reasons to consider senior care services from Always Best Care:
According to AARP, 9 out of 10 seniors prefer to age in place within the comfort of their own home. With in-home care, seniors have a way to stay at home, receive the care they need, and maintain a sense of independence, improving overall wellness.
If you or a member of your family have assumed the role of caregiver for your senior loved one, you know how stressful the job can be. Between caregiver burnout and constant worry, being a family caregiver is hard. In-home care relieves your burden and gives you peace of mind knowing that your older family member is in expert hands.
Unlike nursing homes, where the staff and residents rotate frequently, seniors can foster new friendships and build bonds with their caregiver. Seniors who socialize on a regular basis are often happier, which fosters positivity and leads to increased wellbeing.
No two seniors need the same kind of in-home care assistance. That is why each of our Care Plans is tailored to meet our client's individual needs. We offer plans that cover everything from light housekeeping to more involved duties like transportation to doctor's appointments. Our Care Coordinators will work closely with you to develop a personalized plan to ensure your senior's needs are exceeded.
Always Best Care offers a full array of care options for patients at all levels of health. With our trusted elderly care services, your loved one will receive the level of care necessary for them to enjoy the highest possible quality of life.

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.
In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.
How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?
A study published by the American Society on Aging found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.
With the help of elderly care in Olla, LA, seniors don't have to age in a sterilized care facility. Instead, they can age gracefully in the place they want to be most: their home. In contrast, seniors who move to a long-term care facility must adapt to new environments, new people, and new systems that the facility implements. At this stage in life, this kind of drastic change can be more harmful than helpful.
Institutional care facilities like nursing homes often put large groups of people together to live in one location. On any given day, dozens of staff members and caregivers run in and out of these facilities. Being around so many new people in a relatively small living environment can be dangerous for a seniors' health and wellbeing. When you consider that thousands of seniors passed away in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for in-home care is often a safer, healthier choice for seniors.
Aging in place has been shown to improve seniors' quality of life, which helps boost physical health and also helps insulate them from viral and bacterial risks found in elderly living facilities.
For many seniors, the ability to live independently with assistance from a caregiver is a priceless option. With in-home care, seniors experience a higher level of independence and freedom - much more so than in other settings like a nursing home. When a senior has the chance to age in place, they get to live life on their own terms, inside the house that they helped make into a home. More independence means more control over their personal lives, too, which leads to increased levels of fulfillment, happiness, and personal gratification. Over time, these positive feelings can manifest into a healthier, longer life.
More independence, a healthier life, and increased comfort are only a few benefits of aging in place. You have to take into consideration the role of cost and convenience. Simply put, it's usually easier and more affordable to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, seniors who age in the comfort of their homes can save thousands of dollars per month.
In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, are often less expensive than long-term solutions, which can cost upwards of six figures per year. To make matters worse, many residential care facilities are reluctant to accept long-term care insurance and other types of payment assistance.
With Always Best Care's home care services, seniors and their families have a greater level of control over their care plans. In-home care gives seniors the chance to form a bond with a trusted caregiver and also receive unmatched care that is catered to their needs. In long-term care facilities, seniors and their loved ones have much less control over their care plan and have less of a say in who provides their care.
In-home care is a valuable resource that empowers seniors to age in place on their own terms. However, a big concern for many families and their loved ones is how much in-home care costs. If you're worried that in-home care is too expensive, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that it is one of the most affordable senior care arrangements available.
Typically, hiring an Always Best Care in-home caregiver for a few hours a week is more affordable than sending your loved one to a long-term care facility. This is true even for seniors with more complex care needs.
At Always Best Care, we will work closely with you and your family to develop a Care Plan that not only meets your care needs, but your budget requirements, too. Once we discover the level of care that you or your senior need, we develop an in-home care plan that you can afford.
In addition to our flexible care options, families should also consider the following resources to help offset potential home care costs:
When you or your senior loved one needs assistance managing daily tasks at home, finding a qualified caregiver can be challenging. It takes a special kind of person to provide reliable care for your senior loved one. However, a caregiver's role involves more than meal preparation and medication reminders. Many seniors rely on their caregivers for companionship, too.
Our companion care services give seniors the chance to socialize in a safe environment and engage in activities at home. These important efforts boost morale and provide much-needed relief from repetitive daily routines. A one-on-one, engaging conversation can sharpen seniors' minds and give them something in which to be excited.
At Always Best Care, we only hire care providers that we would trust to care for our own loved ones. Our senior caregivers in Olla, LA understand how important it is to listen and communicate with their seniors. A seemingly small interaction, like a short hug goodbye, can make a major difference in a senior's day. Instead of battling against feelings of isolation, seniors begin to look forward to seeing their caregiver each week.
Understanding the nuances of senior care is just one of the reasons why our care providers are so great at their job.
Unlike some senior care companies, our caregivers must undergo extensive training before they work for Always Best Care. In addition, our caregivers receive ongoing training throughout the year. This training ensures that their standard of care matches up to the high standards we've come to expect. During this training, they will brush up on their communication skills, safety awareness, and symptom spotting. That way, your loved one receives the highest level of non-medical home care from day one.
While it's true that many seniors prefer to age at home, sometimes in-home care isn't the best fit. For those seniors and their families, choosing an assisted living facility makes more sense. Unfortunately, finding the optimal care facility is easier said than done in today's day and age. That's when Always Best Care's assisted living referral services begin to make a lot of sense.
Assisted living is a form of housing intended for seniors who require varying degrees of medical and personal attention. Accommodations may include single rooms, apartments, or shared living arrangements. Assisted living communities are typically designed to resemble a home-like environment and are physically constructed to encourage the independence of residents.
At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also benefit from coordination of services with outside healthcare providers, and monitoring of resident activities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Caregivers who work at assisted living communities can also provide medication administration and personal care services for older adults.
Other services offered within assisted living communities can include some or all of the following:
At Always Best Care, our representatives can match your senior's emotional, physical, and financial needs with viable assisted living communities nearby. Results are based on comparative data, so you can select the best choice for you or your loved one.
Always Best Care works closely with local senior living communities to gain valuable knowledge that we then use to help seniors and their loved ones make informed decisions. This information can include basic care and rent, resident availability, and services provided. Because Always Best Care is compensated by these communities, we provide senior living referral services at no extra cost to you.
Some of the most popular assisted living communities to consider in our area include the following:
For many seniors, moving into a senior living community revolves around how and when they want to make a transition to more involved care. Some seniors are more proactive about transitioning to independent living. Others choose to remain home until their care needs or other requirements are satisfied. Remember - our staff is here to help. Contact our office today to learn more about assisted living communities and how we can find a facility that exceeds your expectations.
The first step in getting quality in-home care starts with a personal consultation with an experienced Always Best Care Care Coordinator. This initial consultation is crucial for our team to learn more about you or your elderly loved one to discover the level of care required. Topics of this consultation typically include:
A discussion of your needs and how our trained caregivers can offer assistance in the most effective way
A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive
Discuss payment options and help coordinate billing with your insurance provider
Our caregivers are trained to spot changes that clients exhibit, like mental and physical decline. As your trusted senior care company, we will constantly assess and update your Care Plan to meet any new emotional, intellectual, physical, and emotional needs.
If you have never considered in-home care before, we understand that you and your family may have concerns about your Care Plan and its Care Coordinator. To help give you peace of mind, know that every team member and caregiver must undergo comprehensive training before being assigned to a Care Plan.
At the end of the day, we only hire the best of the best at Always Best Care. Whether you need home care in Olla, LA 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.
When you're ready, we encourage you to contact your local Always Best Care representative to set up a Care Consultation. Our Care Coordinators would be happy to meet with you in person to get to know you better, discuss your needs, and help put together a personalized Care Plan specific to your needs.

El fenómeno DANA, conocido como la «gota fría», ha causado estragos en las zonas del sur y este de España, dejando a cientos de personas sin hogar y obligadas a abandonar sus ciudades debido a las graves inundaciones provocadas por la tormenta.
En medio de este caos y desolación, una historia ha logrado sacar sonrisas en las redes sociales. Se trata de Valentín, un vecino de Jerez conocido por su trabajo como animador musical, quien se vio enfrentado al agua que rápidamente inundó su hogar, llegando a alcanzar hasta metro y medio de altura en cuestión de minutos.
Pese a la situación devastadora, Valentín logró mantener el ánimo. Al percatarse que no podría salvar ninguno de los muebles ni su sillón, decidió escapar de su hogar durante la tormenta con la olla de albóndigas que preparó su esposa. Además, mencionó que no eran unas albóndigas cualquiera, ya que «eran hechas en salsa, no albóndigas en tomate».
En declaraciones para el medio local Jerez TV, Valentín compartió: «Dentro de la pena que hay aquí, porque hay mucho jaleo, mucho de todo…, he cogido las albóndigas, que además son en salsa, que no eran con tomate».
«¿No va a querer una albondiguita? A ver si para la próxima vez que nos veamos no sea para esto, que por lo menos las albóndigas estén un poco calientitas, porque estas están fresquita, fresquitas», le preguntó Valentín en tono cómico a la entrevistadora.
La entrevista de Valentín rápidamente se volvió viral en las redes sociales, destacando la resiliencia y humor del ciudadano en medio de la tragedia. Aunque la situación es desgarradora, la historia de Valentín y sus albóndigas ha logrado inspirar a muchos a encontrar la luz en los momentos más oscuros.

Racing Club de Avellaneda se clasificó este jueves para jugar la final de la Copa Sudamericana ante el Cruzeiro de Belo Horizonte. El equipo argentino derrotó 2-1 a Corinthians en el partido de vuelta de las semifinales. El juego comenzó con los brasileños ganando a través del gol de Yuri Alberto, a los 6 minutos, pero en tres minutos lo dio vuelta la academia con dos goles de Juan Fernando Quintero, a los 36 de penal y a los 39.

En un partido vibrante, Yuri Alberto (6) puso en ventaja al conjunto paulista, pero el colombiano Juan Fernando Quintero (35, de penal, y 39), figura de la noche, dio vuelta la cuenta para el equipo argentino.
En la final a jugarse el 23 de noviembre en Asunción de Paraguay, Racing se enfrentará con Cruzeiro, que en la otra semifinal eliminó a Lanús.
Unite al canal de ABC en WhatsApp
Para Racing es una instancia histórica, ya que vuelve a una final continental después de 32 años, y en Asunción buscará volver a ganar un título internacional tras 36 años, desde la obtención de la Supercopa Sudamericana 1988, su última gran conquista, también frente a Cruzeiro el mismo rival con el que se cruzará en Paraguay.
El elenco albiceleste también logró romper un dominio casi hegemónico del fútbol brasileño, que se aseguró la Copa Libertadores con la definición entre Botafogo y Atlético Mineiro, y podría haber hecho lo mismo si Corinthians pasaba a Racing y se medía con Cruzeiro.
Lejos de esperar, el Timão se plantó de manera agresiva en el arranque, y antes del primer minuto advirtió al local con un centro que superó al portero local, pero García Basso llegó a despejar con la punta del pie cuando Yuri Alberto entraba solo para anotar.
Profundo y con las ideas claras en ataque, el equipo brasileño no tardó en encontrar la apertura del partido, con una veloz y certera combinación entre Yuri Alberto y Memphis Depay, y luego de un taconazo del neerlandés el ‘9′ definió de zurda desde ángulo cerrado entre las piernas de Arias.
Ese lapso del partido fue gobernado por el Corinthians, que encontraba amplios espacios y se mostraba lúcido para explotarlos, y así estuvo a punto de aumentar, primero con un pelotazo para Memphis que Arias salvó rechazando fuera del área, y luego con una llegada solitaria de Garro, que perdió el mano a mano con el portero de la Academia.
Recién cerca de la media hora Racing empezó a torcer el pulso del duelo, con más presencia en el medio campo, a quitarle el protagonismo a la visita, con una muy buena conducción del colombiano Juanfer Quintero, que se cargó el equipo albiceleste al hombro.
Avisó el talentoso volante colombiano con un tiro libre de su sello que salió al lado del vertical derecho, y poco después estampó el 1-1 parcial de penal, sancionado por una mano de José Martínez.
Sintió el impacto Corinthians, que perdió el orden, y lo capitalizó Racing, que tuvo picardía para jugar rápido un lateral, se durmió la defensa brasileña y “Maravilla” Martínez asistió para la escapada de Quintero, que sentenció rasante y de zurda entre las piernas de Hugo Souza para dar vuelta el tanteador.
Quedaba abierto el encuentro, entre un Racing que se prendió en un riesgoso duelo palo por palo, y un Corinthians superado en algunos aspectos, pero muy punzante, a tal punto que estuvo cerca de empatar en una llegada de Yuri Alberto, pero esta vez volvió a lucirse Arias ante el delantero.
Ninguno de los dos se dio tregua en la segunda parte, en la que Corinthians, con Depay como estandarte, tuvo más la pelota y arrinconó a Racing, pero la Academia resistió, y hasta tuvo algún contraataque que falló Salas tras un gran pase de Quintero, el colombiano que se mostró lúcido y oportuno en cada intervención.
No le alcanzó a Corinthians a pesar de los cambios, ya sin la claridad del primer tiempo, muy repetitivo en los últimos minutos, cuando Racing se hizo fuerte y se abrazó a un triunfo épico, que lo mete de nuevo en definiciones grandes, a un paso de reencontrarse con la gloria tras más de tres décadas.

Dentro de las estampas de destrozos, daños, pérdidas humanas y tragedias, el temporal deja unas pequeñas anécdotas protagonizadas por aquellos que, pese a haber sufrido el impacto de la DANA, no han perdido el sentido del humor.
Un jerezano, que era entrevistado en directo para un canal de televisión local, parece haberse tomado con filosofía lo sucedido. Ante las cámaras, y preguntado por la reportera por la olla con comida que transportaba por la calle, lo ha dejado claro como el agua: «Las cosas como son. Hay que sacar sofás, sillas... no, no... ¡las albóndigas!»
Y añadía, sin perder la sonrisa, en una intervención que no ha pasado desapercibida en redes sociales. "Dentro de la pena que hay aquí porque hay mucho jaleo y mucho de todo... pero las albóndigas ¡Y además eran en salsa, no en tomate!».
Como hemos informado, la provincia de Cádiz fue una de las más afectadas junto a Huelva, Sevilla y Málaga, donde se registró el fallecimiento de un hombre de 71 años.
En concreto, en la localidad de Jerez de la Frontera sufrieron fuertes riadas que inundaron varias barriadas de la localidad. La tormenta pilló por sorpresa a sus habitantes, hasta el punto de que se hizo viral el vídeo de una madre que fue a recoger a sus hijos al colegio, estando a punto de ser arrastrados por la corriente.
El temporal que azota Andalucía desde el pasado lunes ha sumado otro centenar de incidencias durante la madrugada de este jueves 31 de octubre, lo que sitúa en 1.441 las registradas en toda la comunidad desde el inicio de la gota fría, entre ellas un fallecido este miércoles en un hospital de Málaga tras ser rescatado la víspera de su vivienda en Alhaurín de la Torre.
Según el Centro de Coordinación de Emergencias (Cecem112) de Andalucía, Sevilla y Cádiz son las provincias con mayor volumen de avisos durante la noche, en su mayoría por problemas en la red secundaria de carreteras, aunque también se han producido nuevos rescates de dos personas atrapadas en Los Palacios (Sevilla) y otras siete en Alcalá de los Gazules (Cádiz).
En total son casi medio centenar de afectaciones en el viario por balsas de agua, desprendimientos, acumulación de piedras y barro o socavones. En total Andalucía registra 29 vías cortadas totalmente o con tráfico interrumpido: 16 en Cádiz, siete en Sevilla, tres en Granada, dos en Málaga y una en Almería. Del mismo modo, también se han gestionado caídas de ramas, árboles y elementos de fachadas como cornisas y elementos del mobiliario urbano.
En el marco del paro del transporteMovimientos sociales, camioneros, estatales, docentes y universitarios realizaron la olla en medio de protestas en todo el país. En Constitución, Camioneros cocinó para seis mil personas. No sólo para los "sin techo" sino para familias del barrio. "También hay clase media que se está salteando comidas”, apuntaron sus organizadores. Presencia masiva de dirigentes, de Pablo Moyano a Juan Grabois y Hugo Yasky; paro general, marcha federal...
Con una olla popular en la Plaza Constitución, los movimientos sociales, el sindicato de Camioneros, las dos CTA, gremios estatales, docentes y agrupaciones universitarias dieron un paso más en el armado de un polo de oposición activo al gobierno de Javier Milei. Realizaron la olla en el marco del paro del transporte. El rol de Camioneros fue protagónico: el sindicato cocinó para seis mil personas. La olla no estuvo destinada sólo a los sin techo que duermen en la plaza o a los trabajadores informales, sino al conjunto de las familias del barrio. “También hay clase media que se está salteando comidas”, apuntaron sus organizadores.
2024 va ser recordado por las filas de hambre. Cada protesta hoy se hace con su olla popular y por eso, más que el reparto de las bandejitas de comida y las largas colas que se formaron, la novedad estuvo en otro punto: en la presencia de los dirigentes gremiales en una escena que se ha vuelto repetida.
Pablo Moyano eligió esa plaza para hablar con los medios. “Hoy paramos los camioneros, los aeronáuticos, los trabajadores de los puertos, de los mares, del subte, los trenes y estamos haciendo ollas populares en todo el país. Esperamos que el gobierno tome nota del descontento que hay con sus medidas antitrabajadores, antijubilados y antiestudiantes”, declaró junto a las ollas.
Otros dirigentes presentes fueron Juan Grabois (Frente Patria Grande), Daniel Catalano (ATE Capital), Agustín Lecchi (Sipreba), Gabriel Solano (Frente de Izquierda).
También estuvieron Hugo Yasky y Hugo Godoy, referentes de las CTAs. Los dos hablaron de la Marcha Federal que se realizará, si los preparativos continúan bien, en la primera semana de diciembre.
Además, fogonearon la propuesta de ir hacia un paro general. “Esta huelga de hoy va a ser un elemento de presión hacia dentro de la CGT”, consideró Yasky. “El gobierno quiso instalar la idea de que los trabajadores formales están recuperando salarios, pero es mentira: hay tarifazos, la gente no llega a fin de mes, los trabajadores formales no han recuperado lo que perdieron y los informales están peor. La gente está en la indigencia, no en la pobreza, y el gobierno tiene que entender que ese diálogo ficticio con un sector de la CGT para nosotros no significa nada: es muy posible que en noviembre otra vez todas las centrales sindicales estemos convocando a un paro general”. El itinerario sería entonces paro en noviembre, marcha federal en diciembre.
Seis mil platos de comida es mucho. Por eso Camioneros no preparó una olla, sino dos, ollas de enorme tamaño. Una de fideos con pollo, otra de guiso de arroz.
“Venimos haciendo ollas todas las semanas, por todo el país: estas ya viajaron por todos lados”, contó Oscar Borda, titular de la Rama Logística del Sindicato y responsable de la gastronomía de la protesta. Hace unos años, su Rama se hizo conocida por bloquear unos depósitos de Mercado Libre; desde entonces los medios hegemónicos le han dedicado su atención. Lo describieron, por ejemplo, como el soldado más temido de Pablo Moyano, su lugarteniente.
Como se sabe, la empresa de Marcos Galperín es un símbolo de los libertarios y este miércoles, jornada con 500 cortes anunciados, Mercado Libre fue el único lugar donde las fuerzas de seguridad federales reprimieron manifestantes. La Gendarmería les tiraron gas cuando protestaban frente a su centro de distribución en La Matanza.
Ese centro distribución se ha convertido en escenografía de la disputa entre el mileísmo y la oposición peronista bonaerense: tras ser clausurado por el intendente Fernando Espinoza, la semana pasada un grupo de dirigentes libertarios encabezado por el diputado José Luis Espert ingresaron al predio cerrado, donde hicieron un acto político. La provincia de Buenos Aires no tiene militancia mileísta, pero los libertarios, que ya armaron formalmente el partido bonaerense, están jugándosela a hacer pie en el territorio.
Junto a Borda estuvo en las ollas Marcelo Aparicio, el secretario gremial de Camioneros, que antes de que comenzara la distribución de la comida habló con los camioneros que se habían reunido para la tarea. "No hacemos esto por la foto, lo hacemos porque tenemos un sentido de pertenencia: la gente se está cagando de hambre".
Aunque pueda parecer lógica, la confluencia de un sector de la CGT con las organizaciones sociales no es algo cantado. Por el contrario, intentos anteriores terminaron en el fracaso. El inicial ocurrió por el 2003, en la única asamblea que el conjunto de las organizaciones sociales entonces existentes realizó en La Matanza y de donde Hugo Moyano, padre de Pablo, debió retirarse en medio de una silbatina. La idea de que trabajadores formales e informales son parte de una misma clase parece ahora más instalada.
Por la mañana, las organizaciones sociales se concentraron en el Obelisco, donde expusieron sus problemas. A once meses de iniciado el gobierno libertario, sus comedores comunitarios siguen sin recibir alimentos del ministerio de Capital Humano. Por otra parte, los puestos de trabajo que crearon o fortalecieron durante gobiernos anteriores con el apoyo de los planes sociales hoy están en riesgo, cuando no han sido directamente perdidos. Talleres textiles, espacios de cuidado para las niñeces, cooperativas de la construcción, de reciclado cartonero, productores y distribuidoras alternativas de alimentos quedaron sin sostén del Estado.
"Las mujeres de los barrios populares somos las que primero sufrimos las políticas de ajuste de Milei, pero no somos las únicas. Hoy hay millones de argentinos que no pueden llenar la heladera, que les cuesta cargar la SUBE, hay miles que se han quedado sin trabajo", planteó Norma Morales, de Barrios de Pie.
El operativo de seguridad en el obelisco fue mínimo: sólo una línea de policías al borde de la calle, como para que el tránsito no fuera interrumpido. Las protestas van ganando respaldo en la opinión pública y la ministra Bullrich parece haber tomado nota del cambio. "La gente ya no aguanta más. La clase media tampoco llega a fin de mes y entiende que haya reclamos", opinó Dina Sánchez, del Frente Popular Darío Santillán.
Los referentes sociales hicieron circular un micrófono. "Hay 500 cortes en todo el país, tenemos una unidad muy importante con los docentes, con los trabajadores, hoy estamos todos: falta que haya un paro nacional y un plan de lucha para decirle a Milei que se vaya a su casa. Andate a vivir a Estados Unidos, Milei", le planteó al presidente Eduardo Belliboni, del Polo Obrero.
La concentración en el centro porteño se mantuvo desde las 9 hasta las once de la mañana. Desde el obelisco los manifestantes marcharon a Constitución, para el cierre de la jornada de protesta.

El proyecto está en segundo debate en la Asamblea Nacional, pero Apede advierte que tiene “serios problemas estructurales” que no se pueden ignorar.

Este 30 de octubre, la Asociación Panameña de Ejecutivos de Empresa (Apede) no se quedó callada y soltó una bomba en el hemiciclo: su preocupación por el presupuesto general del Estado 2025 es tan grande que parece que están viendo el fin del mundo. Según ellos, la discusión se está dando en condiciones “tan alejadas de una gestión fiscal responsable que da miedo”.
El proyecto está en segundo debate en la Asamblea Nacional, pero Apede advierte que tiene “serios problemas estructurales” que no se pueden ignorar. ¡Y no es para menos! Aseguran que las leyes especiales que otorgan aumentos automáticos y asignan un porcentaje del Producto Interno Bruto (PIB) a ciertos sectores son una bomba de tiempo. “No hay plata suficiente para cubrir esto, y lo que hacemos es endeudarnos hasta el cuello”, afirmaron. ¡Eso es como llenar una olla sin tapa, que se desborda por todas partes!
Además, Apede se lanzó con todo al cuestionar a las autoridades: “¿Por qué no han tomado medidas para evitar que el bienestar de las futuras generaciones esté en peligro?”. La organización se lamentó de que la Asamblea no pareció suspender estos aumentos automáticos, como hicieron con el Fondo de Ahorro de Panamá (FAP).
“Si hubieran hecho eso, podríamos haber recomponido las finanzas públicas y recuperar la calificación de riesgo, que es crucial para la estabilidad económica y la confianza de los inversionistas”, comentaron, lamentando que ahora los bonos panameños se encuentran en una caída libre, ¡ como si fuera de un avión sin caídas! “Perdió el país”, sentenciaron.
El presidente del Partido Panameñista, José Blandón, también puso su cuchara en la olla, cuestionando las leyes que obligan al Estado a cumplir con fondos específicos. “¿Por qué no lo propusieron antes?”, se preguntó, refiriéndose a esas leyes que parecen más un dolor de cabeza que una solución.
Apede hizo un llamado a la Asamblea para que devuelva el proyecto a primer debate, como han solicitado varios diputados independientes, para que todos revisen cómo se está usando el dinero y que el Ejecutivo haga los ajustes que se necesitan. “¡Es hora de poner las cartas sobre la mesa!”, concluyeron.
¡Así que prepárense, porque este debate está más caliente que un volcán y promete mucha tela que cortar!
