Central Bank pats its back; public starves

[NewsWhore]

The Alternative Social Forum says that while the Central Bank is patting itself on the back because it fulfilled all the requirements set by the IMF, poverty levels are increasing. Forum spokesperson Maria Teresa Cabrera said that the government has fulfilled its goals but has sacrificed the public as a result. Cabrera, quoted in Hoy, said that the Forum is not interested in setting social policies because that is the government's responsibility. The Forum has given the government 30 days to order a nationwide increase in wages, to modify the laws regarding fuels, lower food prices and modify economic policies.
