Within the framework of the mobilization called by the General Confederation of Labor (CGT) and left-wing organizations in the City of Buenos Aires, the government of Javier Milei deployed a broad security operation this Thursday with the objective of guaranteeing public order, controlling the entry of demonstrators, and enforcing current regulations.
In the operation, coordinated by the National Security Ministry, federal forces are participating, such as the National Gendarmerie, which carried out controls from midnight at different access points to the Federal Capital.
According to sources from the Security Ministry consulted by La Derecha Diario, so far today some buses that were transporting demonstrators to the city have already been held, mainly at toll booths and strategic entry points.
According to the information, the measures were taken in response to irregularities detected in the documentation required by the National Transport Regulation Commission (CNR), the body in charge of overseeing passenger transport.
Gendarmería Nacional.
These actions fall within the government's policy of preventing irregular transfers and possible risk situations, especially in massive mobilizations organized by union structures, which are known for generating disturbances.
One of the most important pieces of information so far to emerge from the operation was the discovery of narcotics on one of the buses that were inspected. According to the same official sources, "we've found cocaine on one."
In particular, the deployment of the National Gendarmerie was organized into two main detachments, located at the National Congress and at Plaza de Mayo, the two nerve centers of the union mobilization.
In addition, from 00:00 hours today a permanent control scheme was activated at the entrances to the City of Buenos Aires, both by road and by train, with inspections aimed at verifying that the buses had the corresponding documentation or, failing that, proceeding to detain them.
La CGT.
These measures do not seek to prevent the protest but rather to ensure that it takes place within the law and without endangering third parties. In that sense, the operation responds to the state's obligation to preserve the safety of citizens, ensure free movement, and prevent marches from becoming spaces conducive to illegal activities.
The opposition, led by CGT, Kirchnerism, and the left, is promoting today's protest in rejection of the "labor modernization" bill that is being debated in the Senate during the current extraordinary session period in Congress.
The call includes the participation not only of CGT but also of other union confederations such as the two CTAs (Central de Trabajadores de la Argentina) and unions such as ATE (Asociación de Trabajadores del Estado), which have also called for a national strike in the public sector that affects administrative services and state services throughout the country, harming millions of Argentines.
