I veto the retiredveto universities, raise rates for electricity and gas servicesincrease in fares on public transport and salaries ironed after the initial devaluation of 120% of the presidency of Javier Milei. In the midst of a decline in the approval of government of Freedom Advancesthe Casa Rosada now faces the challenge of losing control of the street in a context of pendulous tension with the CGT.
After the repression applied to retirees who protested after the veto of the retirement mobility law was shielded in Deputies, including a 10-year-old minor gassed by a still unidentified police officer, the Government now faces a social conflict with mobilization in the street led by national universities. A movement with another vigor and that anticipates a capacity for protest sustained over time.
The entrance to the Chamber of Deputies dawned almost entirely fenced this Wednesday, as was the front of the legislative palace. Milei also faces part of the hard core of his electorate. Men in the 16-25 age group who belong to a public university and who bet on the forces of heaven at the polls. For now, Congress is the epicenter of the protests that on Thursday the 31st at 9:00 p.m. will have its first decentralized test through the national blackout called against the rate increase.
Blackout against Javier Milei
The FMultisectoral gold against high rateswhich brings together representatives of neighborhood clubs, cooperatives, users, tenant associations, unions, social leaders and universities and SMEs, will have monthly meetings as an agenda under the premise of #FairRates; digital campaigns; actions in the territory, days of reflection and complaints; Judicial presentations of a Sectoral, Individual and Collective nature; visibility of problems such as the Deregulation of the Price of the Bottle; and a Great National Public Hearing Against the Milei Tarifazo.
The accumulation of protests, after the two general strikes of the CGTbegins to be transversal to unify different sectors that until now were mobilized sectorally. Tariffs affect both the operation of universities and the production capacity and level of employment in SMEs, in addition to having a direct impact on all households.
Yesterday the National Transportation Board, made up of Juan Pablo Brey (Aeronavigantes), Omar Maturano (La Fraternidad), Mario Caligari (UTA), Pablo Moyano and Omar Pérez (truck drivers), Juan Carlos Schmid (Fempinra), Pablo Biró (APLA) and Raúl Durdos (SOMU) announced a national transportation strike for the 30th of this month. Without the participation of the UTA yet, it was established “state of alert and mobilization“in the face of the adjustment policy” promoted by the Government for railway, airline, cargo and passenger transport activity; maritime and river”.
The government and the CGT
But in the union that manages bus transportation there is also conflict. The 48-hour strike was lifted after the mandatory conciliation order. The business chambers affirm that they are not in a position to offer a salary improvement and maintain the price of the ticket in the AMBA in the face of the removal of subsidies applied by the national government. “The extremely serious situation that the sector of short and medium distance automotive passenger transport companies of the AMBA is going through is far from being resolved, having arrived at it due to the lack of recognition of real costs that allow sustain the provision of the service”, maintain the business entities.
In parallel, and after the National Executive Branch will decree Aerolíneas Argentinas subject to privatizationthe CGT continues to sit at the government table. On Monday, the labor union agreed with Guillermo Francos to form a tripartite table to advance issues of the labor agenda, salary recomposition and union participation in the Mayo Council, an entity that has not yet been formed. At the end of the meeting, Héctor Daer stated that they agreed with the Government to “remove discretion” from the “anti-blockade” article approved within the framework of the Bases law. As it had been written, any union activity that totally or partially blocks your workplace can be considered a serious labor injury, and, therefore, be dismissed with justified cause.
