In recent weeks, Hospital Garrahan, an emblem of pediatric healthcare in Argentina, has once again been at the center of attention, mainly due to the political use that the opposition has begun to make of it.
There have been protests by doctors and workers over low salaries and working conditions, problems caused by the previous Kirchnerist government, which left the country on the verge of hyperinflation and destroyed the salaries of all Argentinians, including doctors.
In response to these protests, opposition sectors to the Government of Javier Milei are attempting to take advantage of this situation to hold the Argentine president responsible for something he is not to blame for.
However, the reality is more complex and deep, with a conflict that has historical roots and a political burden that has persisted for decades, especially linked to Kirchnerist management.
The Kirchnerist political scheme at Garrahan
Communicator Kalina Ann (@KalinaAnnGG) exposed the political scheme and the Kirchnerist operations behind the union protests at Hospital Garrahan: In 2021, the unions accepted raises below what the doctors were demanding.
However, the influencer recalled that now the same union is rejecting a 63% raise in a context of declining inflation.
