by In advance of the general strike announced by the CGT for this Wednesday, a union member came out to launch provocative statements against Patricia Bullrich and the warnings from the Ministry of Security regarding the cuts that the union march may produce. “We are not going to be obedient to go the right way as she wants, it is unconstitutional,” he said. Rodolfo Aguiargeneral secretary of ATE.
The state unionist – with a past of arrests for blockades in Río Negro – was sarcastic with the minister. “I tell Bullrich that I hope you haven’t gotten your hopes up. what will he be able to do apply an anti-picket protocol. Tomorrow we are going to be miles,” she harangued, in an interview by Pedro Gianello with No hay Plata, on Radio con Vos.
In the same way, the union member called out the official and said that the Ministry of Security does not have the power to determine fines: “If you continue with this action, the one who is going to be reported is going to be her“.
Then Aguiar wanted to moderate himself. Regarding the CGT’s march, he insisted that it will be massive, but promised that it will also be orderly and peaceful. Regarding the act itself, he stated that they will try to make it as quick as possible.
“The minister should have realized this by now. If you want security, send the police to Rosarionot to hit the workers and persecute them,” he snapped.
Asked about one of the biggest criticisms that the union members received and the reasons that led them to carry out a general strike one month after the new president took office, Aguiar said he was cin the mind at peace:
“I am very calm. ATE turned 99 years old. We stopped all governments regardless of their political color. “We are tired of doing strikes in the Fernández Government,” he stated.
On Friday the states agreed to a 16 percent increase, but in any case they confirmed that they would participate in the strike. Last week already, Aguiar justified this decision. stating that state employees have other claims, in addition to salary, and that the Government has so far not provided them with any response.
Now, back, he maintained that position: “There are plenty of reasons for the measure of force. in the morning. It’s not just the state that will be there. They include retirees, students, merchants, small and medium-sized businesses, and the private and cultural spheres.”
Aguiar said that the regulations that promote Milei affect state regulations. “We had access to a new draft and the situation of public employees worsens“, he argued and anticipated that they will start early with the measure of force.
“There are many public organizations that work 24 hours a day. We call for a gathering at 10 in the morning. The strike had to start earlier to mobilize and convene,” he noted.
Patricia Bullrich warned that the anti-picket protocol remains
