The general secretary of the CGT, Pablo Moyano, today described as “forceful” the general strike that has been in force throughout the country since midnight, and threatened against another mobilization against the government of Javier Milei when the Bases Law and the package are discussed. prosecutor in the Senate.


“It is a forceful strike, only some bus lines are running, where they are empty. (The company) Dota agreed with the Government, and surely had millions of reasons to expose its workers who did not want to know anything by not stopping to give an image that there is transportation. More than 95% of the workers have stopped,” he said.


In dialogue with El Destape, the union leader ratified his criticism against the libertarian administration and maintained that the CGT reacts to “a law (Bases) and a DNU that annihilates the rights of workers.” In turn, he considered that “a fighting plan has already been launched” and
threatened with a new mobilization when the initiative promoted by the Government, along with the fiscal package, is discussed in the Senate.

Government Questions​


The Government rejected the strike , the second since Milei took office last December, and assured that there were acts of violence to prevent employees from reaching their workplaces. In addition, he spoke of union leaders “who have been living off the efforts of others for 40 years” and stated that the current administration has “more strikes than laws” passed.


“It is an absolutely incomprehensible strike if one seeks to find an explanation other than that it is a political strike. A strike based on stones, extortion and threats is not a strike, it is simply a day where we see the consequence of a union scheme that has clearly remained in another time," said the presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorni , during his usual press conference at the Casa Rosada.

After noon, the measure of force was felt in subways and trains, and in half of the buses, but many shops, shopping malls and supermarkets are open .

For her part, the Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich , assured today that the CGT strike is " the strike of weakness ", and warned about "mafia acts", such as the savage attacks against the DOTA company or factories that are located blocked. In turn, the Secretary of Transportation, Franco Mogetta , stated that “ 40% of the buses are working .”

“We have detected that there are already more than 2,300 units on the street, about 40% of what is a normal transportation day, and there are companies that continue to join. For the first time in history, we are going to discount the day for companies that do not provide their service. Until today, these strike days have been paid for, these strikes have been financed,” said the national official.

Bullrich, who earlier had anticipated that “everything was going to be open,” left a message to the labor union: “ Stop screwing around and go to work ,” and assured that the federal forces acted to release blockades in the square. logistics of Pacheco, or Puerto San Martin, in the San Lorenzo complex, where there were more than 10 ships waiting for entry.
