The Minister of Defense pointed out against the Association of State Workers that is preparing for this Wednesday massive mobilizations and entry into offices where employees were fired by decision of the Government of Javier Milei



"We are going to take them to the last consequences. Let them take responsibility," said the Minister of Defense

Within hours of the Association of State Workers (ATE) carrying out mobilizations in different parts of the country and carrying out the threat of entering state offices in repudiation of the layoffs promoted by the Government of Javier Milei, the Minister of Defense, Luis Petri warned that those who carry out these measures will be criminally denounced.


Rodolfo Aguiar , head of the union at the national level, ratified through hisThe President has decided to break the Argentine legal system in its core part and both he and his officials could end up in prison,” Aguiar warned. According to the count carried out over the weekend by the union, the layoffs amount to 11,000 throughout the public administration, a number that is close to the 15,000 that President Milei claimed to have reached during his administration.


“Provoking massive layoffs in the State is suppressing fundamental rights of people and that is conduct typified in our Penal Code ,” argued Aguiar. In this framework, ATE called a Federal Plenary Session for today at 4:00 p.m. “ We have to demonstrate that it is the Government that acts outside the Constitution and the law. In the morning, the workers with our massive and simultaneous income will be exercising our rights to strike, demonstrate and meet. If there is violence and repression, the only person responsible will be the Casa Rosada,” the leader closed in his X profile.


Alerted by the union force measure, Petri assured: “Those who try to take over public buildings will be criminally denounced and we will take them to the ultimate consequences . ” “They should be held responsible, the time has come for those who commit crimes to be held responsible. The rule of law is for everyone,” he added.

ATE will mobilize this Wednesday to public buildings

The minister spoke last night in the Todo Noticias (TN) studios , where in addition to anticipating the union conflict that is approaching the Government in the coming hours, he referred to a recurring topic on the agenda: the lowering of the age of imputability. Petri sees it as something necessary given the increase in serious crimes committed by adolescents and compared local legislation with that of countries in the region: “The age of imputability has to be lowered . In Uruguay it is 13 (years), Brazil 12, Chile 14... most of the countries in the region and the world are 14. Argentina shares it with Cuba, that tells you something, right?”


In this framework, he explained that the logic of reducing “has to do with the age of understanding the criminality of an event.” Asked about at what age a minor should be charged, Petri believes that “it could be 14 or 13.” However, he clarified that “it is a discussion that has to take place in Congress.”

“We have a guardianship system that gives the judge the power to exempt an indictable person between 16 and 18 years of age from punishment. We must end that system,” he emphasized.

The Chinese base in Neuquén

The Government's intention to inspect the Chinese space base in Neuquén​

This Tuesday it emerged that the government of Javier Milei is analyzing requesting a technical inspection of the Chinese space base located in Bajada del Agrio, on provincial route 33, in the province of Neuquén. It is a property of about 200 hectares that the government of Neuquén gave to China for a period of 50 years.

Yesterday, a high-ranking source from the Casa Rosada revealed to Infobae that the intention is to “analyze if there is something strange with the base in Neuquén. Contracts can be reviewed.” That same source explained that this contract “says that 10% of the resources in the base must be used by Argentina and that is what we want to verify is fulfilled.”

Luis Petri officially confirmed the intention of the Executive Branch: “We are going to guarantee that the activities carried out at the Chinese base are those established in the agreement.” “We are going to guarantee that they are scientific activities, in no way can they be military activities,” he concluded.
