But it went very badly. They did not support them or their circumstantial allies. There were hardly their own LLAtrying to resist the irresistible.
This vote and the succession of setbacks for the government of these weeks is a consequence of The strong social resistance that was generated in recent months, with already emblematic struggles such as those of Retirees and retireesthat of the People with disabilitiesthat of the health personnel of the Garrahan Hospital and that of university community.
