The wave of strikes and protests in support of the corrupt former president Cristina Kirchner following the confirmation of her conviction by the Supreme Court is beginning to take shape.
Everything indicates that the unions will focus their efforts on a major demonstration to accompany the individual convicted of corruption when she must appear in court to be detained.
So far, only the Capital Section of the State Workers' Association (ATE), led by the ultra-Kirchnerist leader Daniel Catalano, has called for a 24-hour strike starting this Wednesday at 2:00 p.m., in rejection of what they describe as "the proscription of Cristina Kirchner."
The rest of the unions aligned with Kirchnerism that had threatened to take action have not yet made their decisions official. However, as soon as the Supreme Court's ruling became known, a group of SMATA union workers employed at automotive companies in the northern part of Greater Buenos Aires blocked the Panamericana highway in protest.
The main leaders of unionism aligned with Kirchnerism are considering the possibility of calling a strike with a demonstration toward the Comodoro Py courts on the day Cristina Kirchner must appear to be detained and disqualified in the context of the Vialidad case.
This was confirmed by the general secretary of La Bancaria, Sergio Palazzo, who stated: "The first thing that must happen is a major demonstration to accompany her when she has to appear in court. For that demonstration, there must be an interruption of activities so that everyone can attend."
