Contrary to previous expectations, the victory of Freedom Advances In last Sunday’s elections the scenario of the next election changed pride march. At the beginning of the year Milei fully deployed its anti-rights or “anti-woke” agenda linking homosexuality with pedophilia at the Davos Forum which led to widespread rejection. Today, with the result in hand, the Government is preparing to accelerate its plan by announcing reforms against the vast majority that juggles in the midst of adjustment.
The panorama imposes a new urgencyrevives the debate on how to confront the extreme right and the need to flood the streetsthat place where without ties to speculations, routines and calendars our achievements. The direct counterpart of this urgency is the climate of passivity, long wait and demoralization to whom they are paying the Peronist leadership of union, social and political organizations.
The state of hate
If after decades of protests and organization, until recently unthought-of laws such as equal marriage and the gender identity law were achieved, denouncing the State for not recognizing democratic rights, for not guaranteeing in practice that formal recognition or for police persecution of LGBTIQ+ people – something that never stopped happening, especially to transvestites and trans people -, With the help of Milei, the state role takes on another caliber.
With the hate speech being an official paw, the State openly promotes discrimination and thus the attacks on sexual diversity. From the official trollcenter and streams like Carajo, stigmatizing messages are spread every day in the name of defending the heterosexual family, what is supposedly natural/biological, and private property. The survey by the Hate Crimes Observatory indicates that Only in the first half of 2025 did more attacks against the physical integrity of sexual diversity occur than in all of 2024.
The cases of triple lesbicide, triple narco-femicide or double femicide in the hands of a libertarian anti-feminist militant, occur while the government proposes removing the figure of femicide from the Penal Code, limits the gender identity law and defunds any state program against violence against women and LGBTIQ+ people. Patricia Bullrich came to throw him blame feminists for femicides.
The plot continues when the president’s lawyer in the $Libra case, Francisco Onetowhich also represents those involved in drug trafficking crimes Fred Machadodefends the Buenos Aires police officer Carlos Rodriguez: main accused in the transvesticicide of Sofía Fernández in Pilar’s party during April 2023. The other nine police officers involved were acquitted by Justice. For the police version, Sofía “appeared dead” in a police station, “No one commits suicide in a police station” his family denounces.
Against the reactionary wave, the march of 1F or the cuts due to the triple femicide in Varela were key to installing debate in society, the demand for search, justice and ultimately the fight so that there are no more femicides, transfemicides or hate crimes.
The real gay lobby
The instability of Milei’s economic plan led him to ask for a bailout Trump who did not hesitate for a second to get involved in the election campaign and plant the extortion: either Milei or chaos. A bailout whose price we do not know but it gives the United States an exorbitant interference in the country, Milei to the Trump government to power.
From the plants of Trumpism they have been installing for years the existence of a supposed “lobby LGBT” to stigmatize the sectors of sexual diversity that fight for rights, but the real lobby is carried out by the Scott BessantUS Secretary of the Treasury, to guarantee investments in Argentina by his friends like Robert Citrone or promote businesses with high environmental impact from technology magnates like the CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman.
Altman and Bessent are part of the first league of global political-economic power and are openly in relationships with men. A photo impossible to ignore. The “inclusion” and “tolerance” of sexual diversity during neoliberalism came with terms and conditions: having a guaranteed material reality and/or inserting oneself into the productive, business or political system, naturalizing the every man for himself/climb. They met the challenge perfectly. Now the kings of the empire are going for more and intend to record the minute by minute of our lives thousands of kilometers away. This is not the time for half measures, It is necessary to repudiate imperialist interference in the country and throughout Latin America.
Bessent is the fifth person in the presidential line of succession from the same country that finances the Palestinian genocide carried out by Israela State that among its arguments to try to legitimize the massacre raises the LGBTIQ+ rights that Trump and Milei deny. That’s why there is pride flags at every demonstration against genocide in the world, because we are not going to allow such an atrocity in our name.
Of agendas and resistances
As the movie progresses conservative sectors of Peronism They insist with the story of advance of the extreme right thanks to the “agenda LGBT”. Others call this fight for equality a “minority” problemas if we didn’t work, we didn’t study or we didn’t need housing or hospitals. We are not an agenda or a minority problem. The anti-fascist and anti-racist mobilization of February showed this as well, with the claims of nurses, teachers, retirees and workers who suffered layoffs.
He demonstrated the ability to give responses at the height: mass assemblies organized from belowa mass mobilization and the irruption on the political agenda, On the other side, the Peronist union leaders dedicated themselves to observing and letting each attack pass.. In the best of cases, some did a fighting performance or isolated actions with an electoral campaign tone, all while the protests paraded in the street.
That immobility of union leaderships and student federations it is profit for Milei: only encourages demoralization and the isolation of every fight. It has its own version in sectors that, from Peronist progressivism, limit complaints to the government’s attacks to wear down public opinion by refusing to channel those complaints into the streets, all with the objective of capitalizing on political polarization in elections without proposing any solution or program. Now they will tell us to wait until 2027? Who can afford that luxury? From the left, Myriam Bregman y Nicolás Del Caño They tirelessly raised the urgency of mobilization, the response and the need to “break with the lesser evil,” which had its echo in renewing the seats in Congress.
The extreme right promises the IMF, the United States and businessmen the pension, labor and tax counter-reforms for which you will need another round of complicit sectors between legislators and governors. A package that implies fewer labor rights, more attacks on retirees, and more benefits for the rich. The greatest weight in the Congress of the light blue scarves Nor does it erase from the horizon the possibility of more direct attacks against the conquered laws. The pride march is presented in this scenario, a good time to seriously discuss how to organize the resistance against Milei outside of the routine, the calendar and the constant attempts to divide our claims.
Therefore, far from any attempt at extortion or polarization in electoral terms, we need to build a movement from below, democratic and with freedom of political tendencies, that responds to each attack and has a clear goal of repudiating hate crimes and defending our rights in the streets with the organization in each place of work, school, university and neighborhood. Let us regain the strength of our movement by joining feminisms, preparing common deliberation spaces so that the force of workers and youth is at the forefront of promoting the fight to defeat the reforms of Milei, the IMF and every deputy, senator and governor who votes against us. To redouble the bet, not only defending what remains, but demanding that each right gained be truly guaranteed, that the crisis does not further sink the majority that cannot make ends meet in order to pay a fraudulent debt and guarantee the business of the true speculative minority as always.
