In this way, Moyano confirmed that they are going to ”Mobilize on Wednesday 11th starting at 2pm in Plaza Congreso”hoping that “it will be massive and peaceful.” He added: “No one can look the other way or keep quiet in such a particular and important situation as the defense of the salaries of retirees” and recalled that on Friday the confederation “released a document where it supports the mobilization and calls for marching in defense of the interests of retirees. I’m the one who says it, so stay calm, it’s going to mobilize.
“Today I believe that we depend on the deputies who are in Congress. First, urgently reject the retirees’ veto and then, well, each law that is carried out and It goes against the workers, we are in the streets, nothing else can be done.” he added.
Finally, he spoke about the Possibility of a new general strike“I think that the times are moving forward, if they persist with this economic model that they are creating, the permanent attack on the interests of the national business community, it will surely move forward. I am not going to set a date now but…”, he warned.
CGT: “Fair retirement for a dignified life”
On its X account (formerly Twitter), the entity expressed its ”total support for the claim of its retired workers, for an improvement in their income, in safeguarding their access to health care and in firm rejection of the presidential veto against the increase in their salaries.”
”Faced with the consequences of an economic policy that shows an alarming worsening of the social indices of poverty, indigence and unemployment, we support the mobilizations that express their discontent within the framework of the legitimate and constitutional exercise of the right to protest,” begins the statement.
They added that “the repressive disposition to silence voices and justify the shameful repression of responding with tear gas and batons against our elders, instead of providing peace, increases violence and generates more sadness.”
“For the workers of yesterday and the retirees of today, we demand respect, not repression; recognition, instead of cruelty; and we urge national legislators to honor the moral commitment to promote a fair retirement, for a dignified life,” they concluded.
