True to his style, the official deputy José Luis Espert today insulted the union leaders for the general strike that has been in force since midnight, the second protest they have carried out in just 5 months of Javier Milei's Government.

Espert has been using harsh terms for the union leadership for some time. This same week, in fact, he had described Pablo Moyano as an “ape” for promoting the rejection of the Bases Law in the Senate.


“I hope that this ape's prognosis does not come true. The two laws, Bases and the Fiscal Package, are for the people, the citizens. Precisely to free them from the chains of these syndicarchs,” the economist wrote.


Moyano had assured that they were holding talks with opposition senators to get them to join Kirchnerism and vote against the project that obtained half a sanction in the Chamber of Deputies.

Espert was one of the people who inspired Milei to make the leap into media and politics. They both have known each other for 10 years. She united them through economics, a common profession, and liberal ideas. The libertarian decided to create his own space in 2021, La Libertad Avanza, and informed his colleague that he chose to follow his own path .

Since then, there was a certain distance between the two and the dialogue lost frequency. There was talk of a fight, although neither of them validated it in public. However, after the runoff that consecrated the victory of the libertarian, Espert and Milei got closer again , and that good harmony materialized on December 10. In fact, the deputy is president of the Budget and Action committee in the lower house, key to the ruling party's legislative plans.

On November 29 of last year, Milei was proclaimed President of the Nation during the preparatory session that took place in Congress. That day served as a meeting point between the two liberal economists. “Do you remember, bald, when I met you 10 years ago, that I wanted to be like you but with hair and bad manners ,” the libertarian leader told Espert after sharing a hug in the Lower House chamber. They both laughed, turned the page and restarted a relationship. On December 5, the national deputy went to visit the President-elect at the Hotel Libertador and there was speculation about a possible landing in the Libertarian Cabinet, which was later denied.

In March, the President announced the official arrival of the economist to the ranks of La Libertad Avanza. He did it during a live interview with loser Chiche Gelblung. Since then, Espert became one of the libertarian swords in the Chamber of Deputies, and holds meetings with the president and several officials.

Today the CGT carries out the second general strike since Javier Milei took office, in a context of strong union conflict. The labor union called for the measure last month, mainly against the Bases Law.

In the AMBA, trains, subways and most bus lines do not operate from midnight. There are also no banks and the rest of the activities are affected either by the workers joining the strike or by the difficulties in reaching different places. Private schools, meanwhile, opened their doors, although many teachers did not go to work.
