The Indec National Statistics Agency announced that poverty levels lowered in the second half of 2010, with 527,000 households below the poverty line (6.8%), which include a total of 2,475,000 people (9,9%).
During a press conference in the Government House, President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner said that “instead of so many people supporting her to be reelected,” she prefers “cooperation so disputes can be solved without applying a kind of pressure that only makes matters worse.”
The Indec national statistics bureau confirmed that the poverty levels lowered in the first semester of the year, as President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner had previously reported.
