CGT broke the truce with the government and will push a 'plan of struggle' against Milei

The General Confederation of Labor (CGT), a traditional stronghold of Kirchnerist unionism, abandoned its passivity after several months and launched a "plan of struggle" against the Government of Javier Milei.

With the presence of Hugo Moyano and other leaders of the old union guard, the labor central not only confirmed its support for the "pensioners' march" in Congress, but has already set a date for a new mobilization: March 24, in the context of the anniversary of the 1976 civic-military coup.

The CGT meeting had almost full attendance and a large participation of union leaders. Present were the co-heads Héctor Daer (Health), Octavio Argüello (Truckers), and Carlos Acuña (Service Stations), along with the deputy secretary of the CGT and host of the meeting, Andrés Rodríguez.

Key figures also participated, such as Hugo Moyano (Truckers), José Luis Lingeri (Sanitary Works), Abel Furlán (UOM), Juan Carlos Schmid (Dredging and Beaconing), Sergio Romero (UDA), Julio Piumato (Judicial), Rodolfo Daer (Food), Sergio Sasia (Railway Union), Alejandro Amor (Buenos Aires Municipalities), Guillermo Moser (Light and Power), Jorge Sola (Insurance), and Omar Plaini (News Vendors), among others.

The decision, made at a meeting at the UPCN headquarters, confirms that the CGT is betting on direct confrontation with the libertarian administration. During more than three hours of meeting, the unionists criticized President Milei's successful economic policies, which managed to lower inflation, reduce poverty, and generate economic growth.

The first sign of this new combative stance will be seen this Wednesday, when various unions, especially those in transportation, and the hooligans join the protest of "the pensioners" in front of Congress.

However, the major act of resistance will come on March 24, a date that Kirchnerism has historically used to confront non-affiliated governments. With the assured participation of political opposition, the march will serve as a platform to establish an anti-Milei discourse, in an attempt to destabilize the national Government.

In fact, one of the most discussed points at the union meeting was the "moment of vulnerability" that, according to the unionists, the Milei Government is experiencing, following the $LIBRA case, which had no impact on the presidential image.

Despite the harshness of the criticisms, some sectors of the CGT will try to take advantage of the pressure to force a negotiation table with the Government and obtain benefits for their lines.
