In the City of Buenos Aires The 34th edition of the pride march was held. In the first edition held in 1992, a group of people marched with masks against the reactionary policy towards gays, lesbians, transvestites and trans that reigned at the time.

The fight against hate speech and the stigmatization today it takes on a different value because mercy decided to make those speeches an official state policy. So much so that in the Davos Forum at the beginning of the year equated homosexuality with pedophilia. “Let the fachos return to the closet” says one banner, another continues asking “Where is Tehuel?”

Only in the first six months of 2025, more attacks against the physical integrity of sexual diversity occurred compared to all of 2024. In the last two years, aberrant events occurred such as the triple lesbicide in Barracas, the triple narco-femicide or the double femicide at the hands of an anti-feminist libertarian militant.

Among the claims is the request for justice for Sofía Fernández, ten police officers are accused of her transfemicide. According to the police version, she “died” in a police station, but no one commits suicide in a police station, the family denounces. A case that also shows the network of relations with the government: Francisco Oneto, who also represents the person involved in drug trafficking crimes, Fred Machado, defends the Buenos Aires police officer who is the main accused, Carlos Rodriguez.

That’s why reasons to mobilize were not lacking y Thousands participated in the 34th pride march today. If the Government reads the electoral result as a blank check to attack the rights of sexual diversity and women, it is wrong, today the street spoke out again as seen on February 1.

The repudiation of the genocide in Palestine was also part of the march, the columns of the Left Unity Front, the mostri or LOCA float highlighted it. Against the use of our rights to try to legitimize genocide and occupation policies by the State of Israel.

The anti-rights agenda of the Milei is fed back with the adjustment that hits the working majority, which precisely has a greater impact on sexual diversity and women. This could already be seen with the cuts to HIV response programs, to hormone treatments, to programs against violence against sexual diversity and women, such as line 144.

The claims of the Garrahan, retirees, the disability group or the universities are part of that picture. The agenda of labor and tax counter-reforms in Congress only promises to deepen this panorama. Milei cannot do it alone, that is why he is already negotiating with his usual accomplices: governors and legislators from the PRO, radicals and Peronists,

What conditions are we going to be in to fight for the application of the trans labor quota with commensurate salaries while they promise fewer labor rights, while the basic law and DNU 70/2023 are upheld? If a new tax reform comes out that gives more benefits to the rich, it will mean more cuts to public health and education. We can’t allow it.

That is why from the PTS/Frente de Izquierda Unidad, with the participation of the deputy Christian Castillo, the former legislator of the City, Alejandrina Barry, and Luca Bonante, they raised the need to continue resisting in the streets. Because complying with IMF mandates and Trump’s impositions only guarantees more misery.

It is necessary that this mobilization be maintained and deepened with more organization, that the LGBTIQ+ movement be linked to feminisms, to the sectors predisposed to fight, that it takes into its hands the demands of the workers who go out to fight. What would happen if all the unions that called for the march today promoted the organization with assemblies to follow it? Proposing unity with all aggrieved sectors, to debate from below how we respond to the government in the streets, the only language it understands.
