Milei faces first general strike as he tries to overcome hurdles to his legislation in Congress

far right government Argentina During these hours you face a double and simultaneous challenge: street and congress. The first strike, with the mobilization of the workers’ movement accompanied by Peronism and different segments of the left on the one hand. Everyone united this Wednesday against the Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU) and the so-called Omnibus Bill, which aims to reduce the Argentine State to its bare minimum, deregulate the economy, privatize state assets and cut numerous social benefits. At the same time, the president’s bold initiatives Javier Milei There are litmus tests in the House of Representatives right now. The government made some concessions to centre-right opposition segments and the traditional right to progress with the project of “reconstructing” the country. The 12-hour strike and the mass action of the unions in front of the Parliament are trying to become an element of the conflict. pressure This will deter some still hesitant legislators. “Those who establish dialogue will not be able to walk on the street“Héctor Daer, one of the leaders of the General Confederation of Labor (CGT), warned.

The 25% inflation as a result of the 1,188% devaluation in December and the similar figure expected for this month paves the way for the breeding of a disease that aggravates the distress situation. Milei this famine, this countrycollectivism” 100 years. The anarcho-capitalist measures his power specifically by the information reported to him by the thermometer of social networks, on which he has built his power project in a few years. But the measure of power directed by the CGT is not part of virtual reality and threatens to channel outside the anger distilled in the homes price increase number of items in the family basket and on public transport.

Milei acknowledges the nature of the challenge but believes she will prevail. On the 24th “it will be shown that There are two Argentinas: the one that wants to stay in the past and the one that wants to be a developed country“. The resistance in the streets and in the legislature are part of the same thing and therefore he once again passionately defended his initiatives. “When the impact of the DNU reforms is seen, this “It makes Argentina look like a country like Germany.”.

“Totalitarian regimes”

For now, in a country that is 45 percent poor, there appears to be little room for the economic experimentation that the president warned last week before a stunned audience in Davos that the West was moving toward socialism. Although the government is confident of defeating those opposed to its project, it is making preparations. powerful security device for to deter the public from spontaneously approaching the congress. In fact, if the Omnibus Law were in effect, the protest would be declared illegal; This was not only because this regulation aimed to effectively eliminate the right to strike, but also because it punished organizers with force. Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrichmade minimal concessions to MPs: the number of people who can be punished for crowding in public spaces increased from three to 30. The basis for the proposal that Congress should vote on it still remains. the ones “to organize” or “to coordinate” a “meeting or demonstration” may be held five years imprisonment as well as paying for “damage caused by protesters to third parties or to public or private property.” The Center for Legal and Social Research (CELS) assured that these regulations were specific to “totalitarian regimes”. Protest “It ceases to be understood as a part of democratic life and becomes a crime against public order.”.

Ignoring the warning of one of the main human rights organizations, Bullrich brandished his rhetorical sword: “For Argentina to be an orderly country, it needs economic and social order on the streets. They will face a Government that will not give up so easily.” Officials were considering the possibility of making this offer. Legal action against those who participated in the mobilizationN. At the same time, he warned that there would be a reduction in the working hours of all state employees who decided to participate in the mobilization, although it was constitutionally guaranteed. “They want to create fear” said Daniel Catalano, the leader of this sector. Pablo Moyano, from the truckers’ union and a former opponent of the minister, reminded him that if the dictatorship could not defeat the labor movement, neither could this administration that feeds on the “caste” that Milei had promised to eliminate. Bullrich was a Minister of Labor who took a 13% pay cut in 2001, amid a social epidemic and economic collapse, during the presidency of Fernando de la Rúa, who left office in December of that year.

parallel negotiations

Against this background, the Executive sent the new version of the Omnibus Bill to MPs who tended to “talk” to the far right. Government as a sign of goodwill 100 out of 300 articles removed. Changes are being made to the way pensions are updated in the midst of an inflationary situation. Milei agreed to reduce the duration of the public emergency to one year on economic, fiscal, fiscal, pension, security, health, tariff, energy and administrative matters and legislative delegations. YPF oil companyThe company, 51 percent of whose shares are owned by the state, was removed from the list of companies to be put out to tender. Other assets can be partially customized. Money held on behalf of third parties cannot be laundered. Officials are exempt from this advantage. retreated in his efforts Destroy the National Film Institute and the National Endowment for the ArtsOrganizations that the government sees only as bastions of the left. Despite these concessions, Peronism believes that the matrix of the enterprise remains intact and this will lead the country to disaster.

Milei’s negotiating ability has a limit, and that’s her belief. Amid tensions over trade unionism and parliamentary negotiations, the president ordered that “all official documents concerning the centralized and decentralized national public administration as well as its subordinate autonomous organizations must bear this legend.” ‘Year of Defense of Life, Freedom and Property'”.
