The Red Cross is collecting signatures in the province in order to get popular support to introduce a bill in Congress that will allow him to reactualizarse in his law, as it currently is 120 years ago and does not contemplate many things that the organisation is performing, including the volunteer.
The current law is the 2976 and is from the year 1893. the TiempoSur spoke with the owner of the local Red Cross, Osvaldo Medrán, who noted that "we want to update it, and within this project there are a lot of items, of which the most important is the volunteerism".
Said the bill is a support that is going to be the organization and "the proposal of the items that we want to modify is just the volunteer".
On the background of this law mentioned, "last year we made a hug symbolic to the Congress so that we can be heard by the legislators."
In this framework, we closed the year and could not treat the law, come from a long time ago wanting to update it but never been able to address.
In the case of approved there are several items that you want to update, and within the same the N°11 is the volunteer.
"We are voluntary free of charge and disinterested, we work that way for the population and this activity is not contemplated by the law," he added Medrán.
"Then you have utilities, exceptions to tax, the first aid already but you have to update it", he explained.
in Addition to expressed that they possess the rendering of account, "which are the most transparent of all the Ngos" and that they have two controls, one external and the other "of the auditor General of the Nation".
Said that they need a support of law not to make inappropriate use of the work that they do.
In the page of the Argentine Red Cross, you will find all the information concerning this theme.
"we Need to have a support with a legal personality, we say that we are authorities of public power and in this motto we want you to know the community who we are", said the head of the Red Cross.
he Added that a new law had never been able to deal with in the Congress and so they want to make a popular assembly.
"The Constitution states that in order to have popular support we must have 1.5 per cent of the electorate that are 480 thousand votes or signatures, and we’ve crushed it," he said.
With this said they are backed up, as well as do this in a selfless manner and free of charge, many times, each subsidiary pays the life insurance to be able to be attending and we do this particular form. Having our law, we shall be able to do this for free".
In this sense, it noted that any person that has more than 60 years in women and 65 in men no insurance covers it and normally, "we have volunteers that are that age and want to belong to the Red Cross."
With the law may already have this. "This was launched on the 22nd of December and we started at the national level. Now we’re about to go to the locality of the Ancient and to see the possibility of entering in El Calafate".
finally, he stated that now "we are doomed to what is the law, and in addition, the municipality calls upon us to different events. This weekend we were at Mothers to the Struggle of offering our service."
Also indicated that they are in recess until march, with a minimum of staff attending.
