First of all, the Minister of the Interior gave his opinion on the phrase “the country stops” due to the mobilization next Thursday and maintained that, when the states of public opinion are analyzed, It doesn’t seem like the Argentines are stopping or trying to stop the country as a sign of protest.
In this sense, in dialogue with Radio Miter, Francos expressed: “It is a political strike. This strike was announced 20 days ago, after a meeting we had with the union leaders they left almost unexpectedly.” And he maintained that from his point of view “it’s a bit unjustified“.
“I think the leaders of the unions will be reflecting, because when we begin to see all these signs of recovery in the economy, perhaps it is time to wait and have a little patience and don’t stop the country“he added.
At the same time, he made reference to first general strike carried out by the CGT against the Government and he said that “it was not that it had a very important adhesion or significance” and mentioned that it is the second mobilization that they try to propose to the President when he has five months in office.

Along the same lines, he made a comparison between the first treatment of the Bases law and the second and stated that the difference is that the first “covered much more topics and the form of the discussion generated complications“In any case, he assured that they were able to overcome all of that in the second instance.
