Patricia Bullrich’s harsh criticism of the Intercargo employee measure
After the hours of tension experienced at Aeroparque, Bullrich assured that the Government is working to regularize the situation at the airports. In this way, the libertarian administration gave an ultimatum to the aeronautical unions to present a proposal so that Aerolíneas Argentinas operates normally and without conflicts or, otherwise, the state company will close.
It should be noted that during the day of conflict, no flights of the national airline were affected, although other private airlines such as JetSmart, Flybondi and Latam.
In television statements, Bullrich analyzed the conflict and assured: “We are living in an unprecedented situation, never seen before, so much so. that 18 people had to go to the medical unit. “People with tremors, suffocation, seizures, a person with hypertension.”
“We took the lead, We managed to show that they are not going to override us, that we are going to free people from this torture permanent to which it is subjected in airports, holding sudden assemblies, ruining the lives of thousands of people with different destinations,” said the minister. During yesterday, the Government requested the intervention of the Airport Security Police (PSA) to unblock the conflict.
Along these lines, Bullrich stated that “Intercargo has been a huge problem for years” and classified the protest as “an aerial picket.” “We must take quick measures that have to do with Airlines, with the pilots and with Intercargo, which we have reported to federal justice for abandonment of person and illegitimate deprivation of liberty,” he added.
Finally, the head of the Security portfolio stated: “We will act with the full force of the law. “We defend the 46 million Argentines and their taxes that pay these gentlemen the salaries to torture them.”
The Government’s ultimatum to Airlines
He Executive Branch demanded a work plan so that the company operate without union conflicts. In case the aeronautical proposal does not satisfy President Javier Mileiwill carry out a Crisis Preventive Plan that will end in its definitive closure.
What does this preventive process mean? He himself is a legal mechanism by which a company, for reasons of force majeure or for a cause not attributable to the employer, can reduce hours, suspend or lay off employees with reduced compensation. This legislation operates under the orbit of the Ministry of Labor and it is mandatory for a company to cease operations.

In addition to the warning of a possible closure of Aerolíneas Argentinas, the Government also took the case to court and charged those responsible for the union assemblies for the delays suffered by the passengers. In detail, the ministry led by Bullrich filed a complaint against members of APA where it stated: “We were faced with an ‘air picket’ that prevented thousands of people from getting off the aircraft, including pregnant women and children, who had to endure more than two hours in cabins without adequate ventilation, situation that led to health complications for some passengers”.
