“We are going to fight until we have the chainsaw (of the president of Argentina) and cut off the heads of the business groups,” were Rodolfo Aguiar’s sayings.
The general secretary of the Argentine State Workers Union, Rodolfo Aguiarwas presented at the event of the Confederation of Organizations of State Officials (COFE) in support of the claim of the Uruguayan union and gave a strong speech against the Argentine president Javier Milei.
Aguiar appeared in support of the claims of COFFEE by the new licensing regime in the public administration, which establishes a discount on their wages by the certifications, since it contemplates that they have the right to a maximum of nine business days of paid leave due to illness or accident.
“We come to return the hugs they give us in such a particular moment that we have to go through,” Aguiar began before listing the criticisms of the Argentine government. “We reaffirm that this president who is saying goodbye to us today and arrived with a chainsaw, We tell him that we are not going to stop fighting until that chainsaw reaches our hands and begins to cut off different heads, those of the four, five business groups that want to subdue us,” he remarked.
On the other hand, he assured that Milei “wants to establish the same economic program that the last military dictatorship had: eradication of all rights, not only of workers and retirees, but of the entire population; destruction of jobs in the State They are throwing us out massively, 15,000 fired in the first three months; demolition of the income of the entire population, we have lost more purchasing power in these four months of government than in the previous eight years.
In that sense, the trade unionist warned that phenomena like that of the Argentine president tend to spread throughout the region. For this reason, he called “on the people to face it with unity.” “In the Argentina History shows that every time the people break in, the oligarchy falls. “These people are going to break out again, sooner rather than later, so that the ruling oligarchy falls and we have a government that thinks about its people again,” he assured.
What is the new licensing system about?
Until early April, public officials did not have money deducted from their salaries for certifications. With the modification, they will be entitled to a maximum of nine business days paid leave for illness or accident.
In addition, they may be requested alternately or consecutively for a period of one year. From the tenth day they will have the right to subsidy, which will be an amount equivalent to 75% or 100% of the salary, depending on several factors and every January 1st the number of days available will be renewed, which do not accumulate from one year to the next.
