Homeless Numbers Alarming in Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires - Nearly 2,000 people are
homeless in Buenos Aires, where a harmful
policy of dumping people on the streets,
applied by the government of that city, has
doubled homeless numbers, Pagina 12 local
paper denounced Monday.
The "alarming
increase" in homeless was registered during
2008, at the time the drastic and silent
measure began to be applied, the local paper
reported.
Same source recalled Buenos Aires Cabinet
Chief Horacio Rodriguez affirmed at the
beginning of current year people are slowly
becoming homeless in silence.
Growing numbers of people sleep in the
streets each day, as Rodriguez ironically
predicted, government statistics reveal
1,950 people are in that situation.
Pagina 12 reports near 22,000 people have
already lost or are in danger of loosing
their houses.
The causes of the problem are many, all
evident, like the absence of a policy
addressed to reduce homelessness over the
longer term, it adds. |
