Since the beginning of last month, protesters against Milei’s government organized a mobilization against him through social networks.. In several important points of the city, posters and flags with the slogan “Milei culiadazo” were already seen. In addition, marches called by the CGT, CTA, ATE and the Polo Obrero took place from midday.
Rodolfo Aguiar, general secretary of ATE, declared in a statement from the organization: “President, the governors failed, but we will be present.” Aguiar added: “Milei was frustrated in signing the pact, but he should not be able to carry out an act calmly. The President must know that he is not welcome in any province. With his policies, he is destroying everyone.” In addition, the President was also declared persona non grata for his adjustment policies and constant grievances against the State.
Along these same lines, the state representative emphasized that This management “fires us, destroys our salaries, closes the organizations in which we work and privatizes state companies. “Is there really anyone who believes that we have to congratulate the President? We have to confront this Government,” he added forcefully.
