He strike of the General Confederation of Labor (CGT) on May 9 will have effects on numerous branches of activity, with the consequent loss of production at times when, however, the industries are already with pandemic indices of idle capacity.
Perhaps the greatest novelty in effective terms is that they have folded the two lines of the CTA, and that antagonistic unions, which respond to one or another labor union, have launched joint statements. For example, yesterday the unions UPCN and ATEwho represent public workers from opposite sides, signed a common text in which they denounce “the dismantling of the state”.
Signs that do not transcend union circles, but that do not stop reflecting symptoms: the libertarian Government established a new polarization scenario where there are no places for grays. The trap in which those who opted for this strategy find themselves is another focus. Some observe it and decide quickly. For example, him Tucumán governor Osvaldo Jaldowhich already stops on the tiles of Freedom Advances: “We are not going to move Argentina forward by sleeping,” the provincial chief aligned himself, already behind Unión por la Patria.

So, this second general strike against the administration of Javier Milei, supported by layoffs not only in the State and a rejection of the basic law, will be another watershed. “The toughest opposition, like Peronism or the left, is going to support it; The Government and its allies are going to repudiate. Nothing changes in political terms, everyone speaks to their own“, they expressed from Kirchnerist ranks in the previous one, where however they accelerate the positioning towards an opposition without half measures. Other sectors of Peronism analyzed it as a way to refute the thesis of society’s supposed patience with this administration. They add, of course, the student march and the double March demonstration: women and human rights. “There is a sector that is dissatisfied and mobilized, there is no passivity,” expressed a PJ representative.
But the strategy exceeds unemployment. And in the immediate discussion, the empty streets will not twist the negotiations in any direction. Congress around the Law Bases. They are dialogues that go through other tracks. Especially after Unión por la Patria reaffirmed that the 33 senators will not flee and the course already marks a potential return of the text to Deputies, with changes in the large investment regime (RIGI), fundamental for the Government.
In the Government they minimize the impact, but they also do not stop taking notes. “Unemployment ruins the lives of people and companies,” they said from the Casa Rosada., where they do not consider compliance as a sign of discontent for the simple reason that there is no operational public transport. “To measure voluntary compliance, there should be transportation,” they added.
Regarding the political game, the Government will use the force of the strike to hit back and continue seducing its hard core: those who do not want the country to do well, the union-PJ harmony, the backwardness, those who took advantage of these years, and so on that renders Milei When the V-rebound recedes, new problems are added to the fall in demand: growth in unemployment (a concern that society did not have until now) and the upcoming increases in service and transportation rates.
Therefore, beyond the discursive, one of the lights on the board that the Government looks at is that in the new divide, the grays begin, little by little, to turn their backs on it. Just as the CGT and the CTA go hand in hand. Almost like a survival necessity.
