When the votes are counted on Sunday night, the central thing of the result will not be, even closely, the new composition of the Buenos Aires Legislature.
The extreme tension with which the previous days are lived realizes that what until recently was presented as a relatively apathetic choice has become a great political test, registered within a national crisis. With times that have accelerated vertiginously in recent weeks, what is at stake daily For the libertarian experiment it is the possibility or not to continue governing how it had been doing until a few weeks ago. The single possibility that a new electoral defeat could be feedback from next Monday with the economic and social crisis means that from libertarian usines the results of Sunday are waiting for the breath. The picture, in turn, does nothing but aggravate when he looks in the long term and enrolls this panorama within a more as a whole, which is that of the political regime that has seen its different governments fail in recent years.
To the national government, in the previous Painting all violet to be able to apply structural reforms in the second part of your mandate, to have to LIVE IN EMERGENCY OPERATION MODE To propose as much to try that Sunday’s choice does not act too much as an accelerator of a possible end of the advanced cycle of the experience of freedom progresses. The calendar of this battle extends until October 26, but a crisis ruling today, the most that can aspire is to try to turn off the fires day by day and play the least bad stop of Sunday’s choice for Try to gain time in crisis management. Even, you can fail. We will have to wait for Sunday.
Indeed, neither in the worst libertarian nightmare was going to reach this election with a multidimensional crisis in all areas, the political, economic, social and that of its moral legitimacy.
The only enumeration of the problems of the last weeks accounts for the stage: the Karinagate that he bare the corruption of the maximum government dome; the prominence of inmates and intelligence operations that have the ruling party in a state of paranoia; Censorship prior to journalism that uses uselessly to combat the mass perception of stealing while adjusting in the most sensitive areas such as disability or retirees; A president and one of his main candidates who become Meme after having to flee humiliated from an act in Lomas de Zamora; The complaints of overprices in the Pami; a long chain of legislative defeats that call into question the governance scheme; last Sunday’s electoral defeat in Corrientes where La Libertad advances It was fourth; and a permanent improvisation economy management based on a single objective, which is to maintain the price of the dollar as it is to the October elections.
Battle against the impossible, this Wednesday the government wanted, awkwardly, to make an act of closing of the campaign that, instead of being a milestone to try to reverse the situation, put its weakness even more evidenced: the aerial images showed that beyond the staging for the cameras, Javier Milei spoke in Moreno in a semi -valed act and having to be guarded by an excessive safety operation. The caste is afraid, and also its discursive repertoire sounded worn out: an attempt to polarization with Kirchnerism.
On the closure of this note, as if that were not enough, the Government suffered again new legislative defeats, achieved as a product of the persistent struggle in the streets, when the Senate turned Milei’s veto to the emergency in disability and also approved a project that puts limits to the president in the use of the DNU, which, to consolidate in deputies, would go against one of the axes of the axes of the government La Libertad advances. In the background, they also register in these internal debates between different groups and capitalist factions that, in the face of the crisis and unfeasibility of the Milei Plan, begin to discuss how to condition the government and even discuss how to eventually mold the eventually Posmileismo. These parliamentary defeats, as well as the emergence of the Block of Governors (Córdoba, Santa Fe, Corrientes, Jujuy, Chubut, Santa Cruz) are part of those movements of sectors that support the adjustment plans and structural reforms but seek a viable and organic right to the great patron saint of the field and other business sectors.
On another strategic plane, these weeks The Government lost a capital that is very possibly unrecoverable: its adjustment plans have been stained forever and have become illegitimate even for sectors that had voted for Milei. Central nuclei of the story as what came to adjust to the caste or that the economic plan was the only possible and that there was no alternative, they have been buried by the evidence that millionaire business is made with the state box. Corruption advances.
That situation would not be so bad for the government if it was not intimately intertwined, in addition, with the precariousness of the economic scheme. The warnings come more and more to the government even from ultraneoliberal voices such as Domingo Cavallo (who spoke again critically this week) or from orthodox economists such as Ricardo Arriazu, who on Wednesday, in radio statements, warned that “If the dollar escapes, everything is over. Politologists say that support for government predominates in young men, poor and with little education. They are angry with the above and support him for the hope that inflation and poverty will lower. If that turns an inflation or fall of the activity, Chau Milei. ”
Those hard words of Arriazu were in the framework of a week that replaced the country risk Around 900 points, to dollar in the sight after starting Monday going up a few days after Sunday’s elections and Government by throwing drowned withdrawals not to losing the control of that last variable to which he clings desperately in his dramatic race until October 26. Caputo’s plan, if there is such a thing, exploded in April and was rescued by the IMF: then the minister spent all those dollars to sustain the exchange rate and did not reach him; Then he raised the interest rates to record levels pushing the economy to a recession start, but it was not enough either; And now the Ministry of Economy announced this week that it began selling dollars to intervene in the exchange market. The obvious imbalances of all this action show that the economic scheme has unsustainable contradictions everywhere and also that the story of liberalism and free market or they can sustain it: the State is intervening with everything in the price of the dollar, which is one of the main prices of the economy.
For the working people, all these are warnings that it is necessary to accelerate preparations to intervene in the crisis. Both for the adjustments, as for the recessive trends of the economy and for a possible devaluation, before or after October, the attacks may be deepened. At this time, there are emblematic struggles such as the workers of Sidear in San Nicolás, in which it is the main factory in the country, owned by Paolo Rocca. That and other hard salaries fights are combined with others that run through the country against layoffs in different areas, as well as with the most symbolic fights against cuts, such as disability, retirees or Garrahan hospital, among many others.
These struggles are necessary to boost them, surround them with solidarity and coordinate them to win. But also a very hard denunciation of the union bureaucracy of the CGT that, contrary to everything, is in a total truce with the government precisely at the moment in which its weakness would allow it to face it and defeat its plans. But even more: there are not only referents such as Gerardo Martínez who participate in the Mounted Council of May with officials and businessmen to negotiate a future labor reform, but this week some of the CGT hierarchs come from starring in a scene of political obscenity by participating in the event for the 80 years of the Clarín Group, fraternizing with the maximum economic and political power of the country. Perhaps the most dragged photo of the last months was the one he showed at that party at the Colón Theater to Gerardo Martínez with Paolo Rocca de Techint, while the billionaire businessman says goodbye, precarious and adjusts. Next to him were Andrés Rodríguez de UPCN and José Luis Lingieri of Sanitary Works.
That is why it is necessary to recover organizations from below for struggle and impose another direction to trade union organizations, to fight for an active general strike and a struggle plan in the perspective of the general strike to defeat Milei, the IMF and the great entrepreneurs.
However, together with the struggles for immediate demands and against the government’s plan, it is also necessary to discuss an exit to the working people of the working people, since At this time only the fate of the government is not played, but also what opposition it is necessary to build.
While there are sectors trying to start profile a new right Postmileisticalso Peronism prepares to try to capitalize on discontent. However, he seeks to do so by repeating the same formula as Front of allArmando electoral lists “of unity” plagued even of former officials of Alberto Fernández and without leaving the crisis, the internal and the lack of programmatic proposals that led him to his current situation, after having demonstrated that he cannot take out his feet from the plate of the IMF regime when he had to govern, which opened the ultra -right that he governs today.
The lefton the contrary, it is not only in the struggles and raising another exit program to the crisis favorable to the great majorities, but also being carried out A great electoral campaign that receives important popular sympathy and a broad social and cultural archbecause given the rot of the regime and the discontent also with the direction that Peronism has taken in the opposition, the militants are increasingly valued the referents of the left front that are always present in the struggles, without speculating, and always on the same side.
In recent days, there are thousands who send their support in each place of work, study and in each neighborhood and there are also many who add to a militant campaign, also expressing in each tour and in each militant activity that Nicolás del Caño is one of oursvaluing the orientation of the left, which also together with Myriam Bregman and all its referents from the beginning of the Milei government, as well as under the last government, was present in each fight, putting the body, facing repression, banning in the mass marches but also in the most difficult as those of retirees, upside down of so much bureaucrat that is accommodated and speculated. And, also, defending democratic freedoms, as he did having rejected jail and proscription against Cristina Kirchner (even when Kirchnerism himself stopped fighting for his freedom) or being in the first line of the fight against censorship, as Christian Castillo was this week putting his bank at the service of that battle in the National Congress.
This Sunday, accompany us with your vote. We are going to conquer more benches for the struggles, yes, but also to fight so that in this crisis an independent voice continues to grow of economic power and to gather more strength for the next stages of the struggle, whose rhythms, inexorably, they accelerate, and also demand to put each advance given to the service of proposing a superior challenge: the construction of a great party of the working class.
