To avoid the anti-picket protocol, most of the protests will be on the side of the province of Buenos Aires. Axel Kicillof does not adhere to Patricia Bullrich's rule “for the maintenance of public order.” The challenge for social leaders will be to empathize their demands with the rest of society, as happened with the university march.

Tomorrow, May 7, there would be a new piquetero protest against the government of Javier Milei Credit: Ariel Torres
Forty-eight hours before the general strike of the CGT, scheduled for Thursday, April 9, picketers and social organizations grouped in the Union of Workers of the Social Economy (UTEP), will carry out, from 10 in the morning, surprise access cuts. of income to the Federal Capital and the main capitals of the country.
“This Tuesday, May 7, we are going to carry out a new day of national struggle with cuts throughout the country against the adjustment, the elimination of social programs and the closures of dining rooms carried out by the Javier Milei-Sandra Pettovello duo,” the statement says. signed by the leaders of the UTEP, headed by Alejandro “Peluca” Gramajo ; the Polo Obrero led by Eduardo Belliboni ; Libres del Sur, referenced in Silvia Saravia ; and, among others, the Darío Santillán Popular Front, headed by the feminist Dina Sánchez, the Movement of Excluded Workers (MTE), coordinated by Nico Caropresi and the Clasista y Combativa Current, of Juan Carlos Alderete .
On April 18, incidents were recorded between the City Police and picketing groups
Some 40 organizations will be part of the measure since they also joined. The Argentine Rebel Movement MAR, the Coordinator for Social Change, the Front of Organizations in Struggle (FOL), the April 8 Movement, the OLP will also be part of the protest. Resist and Fight, MST Teresa Vive, MTD Aníbal Verón, Votamos Luchar and among others the organizations that also make up the Piquetero Fighting Front.
Although the leaders try to keep the cut-off points confidential so as not to make the task easier for the Ministry of Security, headed by Patricia Bullrich , who has already announced that she will strictly apply the anti-picket protocol, Infobae reconstructed through UTEP organizers that there will be five main cuts.
The southern column will block the Alpargatas Rotunda , in Berazategui; the entrance to Lavallol, in Lomas de Zamora , and the so-called Bernal Triangle , in Quilmes. The west column will cut - with a notable presence of the CCC - will block the San Justo roundabout , in La Matanza and in Morón, the entrance to the Plaza Oeste complex at Avenida Vergara. In the City of La Plata they will hold a picket on the descent of the Buenos Aires-La Plata highway.
Until now, the only blockade in the City of Buenos Aires will be if I enter through the Saavedra Bridge, where the head of the protest will be located.
At that geographical point the neighborhoods of Saavedra, Núñez, Florida and Vicente López converge. That is, it divides the City from the province of Buenos Aires. Axel Kicillof made public his position of not adhering to the Bullrich protocol , therefore, if the protesters do not cross General Paz Avenue, which separates the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Saavedra from Vicente López, there will be no incidents as occurred on March 18 when the The City Police advanced with water cannons and the Infantry when they maintained that the picketers had crossed the limit that divides CABA and the province of Buenos Aires, in that case the intersection of Cabildo and Maipú avenues. The protesters denounced that they were repressed at a time when they had not done so and were protesting against the Government of Javier Milei in a peaceful manner.
The rest of the planned cuts will also try to interrupt traffic to the Federal Capital, but from the province of Buenos Aires.
On April 23, university organizations took to the streets to demand a larger budget. They were accompanied by thousands of people. Until now the picketers have not been able to empathize their form of claim with the rest of society (Mario Sar)
The left-wing picketers demand that the CGT call for an active general strike with mobilization and announce a “fight plan” against layoffs in the State, the economic plan, the dismantling of social programs and the lack of food in canteens and picnic areas. community promoted by La Libertad Avanza.
The workers' union manages its own times and does not allow itself to be pressured. What's more, they have the support of the UTEP leadership who mobilized side by side on May 1. On the 9th the general strike will be for 24 hours and will become the second measure of force against the Milei Government.
The first, for 12 hours, took place on Wednesday, January 24. Since the return of democracy, no president has faced a general strike so quickly: Milei had it after 45 days in office. He is followed by Fernando De la Rúa (Alianza-UCR), who had his first strike in the third month of administration.
Since 1983, Raúl Alfonsín (UCR) was the president who faced the most general strikes. Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (Frente para la Victoria) -in her first term- and Alberto Fernández (Frente de Todos) did not have general strikes.
“We denounce the scrapping of the Empower Work program and the halving of the salary of 200,000 workers in the sector and the freezing from November 2023. We continue on the streets for genuine work and all our demands,” he told this medium, Belliboni, leader of the Polo Obrero.
“They continue to advance in destroying the little that had been built in these more than 20 years that we have been organizing together with the popular economy. Finally, they destroyed the salaries of the workers who do the most work in the cooperatives and canteens,” Gustavo Gavotti maintains from the social organizations.
Silvia Saravia, leader of Libres del Sur, said that: “Javier Milei's government continues to make adjustments to those who have the least. Not only is it still not delivering food for canteens and picnic areas, but now the Potenciar Trabajo has dealt a new blow that adds to the freeze. Those who had work tasks no longer have them , there is no compensation and in that sense, ignoring those activities, they have removed part of the charges. That is why we continue in a state of alert and mobilization. That is why on May 7 there will be a new national day.”
From the MTE, one of the organizations that are part of the UTEP, and referenced in the former presidential candidate of Unión por la Patria, Juan Grabois , they were also very critical of the federal administration.
“They continue to advance in destroying the little that had been built in these more than 20 years that we have been organizing together with the popular economy. Finally they destroyed the salaries of the workers who do the most work in the cooperatives and canteens,” he told Infobae . Nicolas Caropresi and explained that they are: “Cartoneras in charge of classifying materials in the green centers, cooks who despite the lack of food delivery continued to cook and organize collections to be able to have supplies, kids who accompany other kids in the fight against addictions, women who accompany other women in shelters to escape violence and hundreds of thousands of workers saw their income reduced by half with the elimination of the links and bonuses that existed in promoting work.
For the social leader, these losses of achievements are a systematic plan to “destroy” the most vulnerable sectors. “First they took out the food, then the works in popular neighborhoods, they tried to destroy the cooperatives, and disappear the social monotax. In their hatred of some leaders, these revanchists with money are extremely cruel to those who have nothing .
The picketers ask the CGT for "active strike" and a "licha plan" to confront Javier Milei's policies, including layoffs in the State (Source)
For the MTE leader, these are some of the arguments by which the streets will win tomorrow. “We need decision makers to reveal the cruelty of their measures . They are converting the social salary and the policy of right and incentives to work into plans, that is, they do not intend to monitor nor are they putting together something in training that will guarantee access to the courses for the million colleagues, basically "They are converting a labor policy into plain and simple lack of assistance," said Caropresi.
Another of the leaders who called for the cuts, pickets and protests tomorrow is Alejandro Gramajo, the general secretary of the UTEP: “We are going to start a comprehensive fight plan that will be seen again in the streets on Tuesday the 7th, but that we have already started. On May 1 we mobilized together with the CGT, the days before the general strike on May 9 we are going to develop this surprising agenda , the idea is that it culminates with a great federal march against hunger and poverty, he anticipated this half.
Tomorrow will be one more test for the Government and Minister Bullrich, but also for the picketers and social organizations that until now have not been able to empathize with the rest of the population with their demands, as happened, for example, with the budget patch. university and public education. That will perhaps be the biggest challenge from now on.
