With a overwhelming rejection, La Libertad advances (lla) and together for change (JXC) lost more than two million votes compared to 2023 And they suffered a real beating. The ruling fell more than 13 points and was relegated, evidencing the political, economic and legitimacy crisis that crosses libertarian management.
The context could not be worse for Milei: corruption scandals, such as the “karinagate” and complaints of overpricing in the Pami; fierce internal; intelligence operations; censorship of journalism; legislative losses; everyday economic crisis and improvised and adjuster management that only thinks about cutting and controlling the dollar. There were even public humiliation scenes, such as the flight in Lomas de Zamora de Milei and its candidates, Ridiculus taken with sour escaping in a motorcycle.
The defeat at the polls reflected the loss of credibility and of all moral authority of his government. The tenacity and courage of retirees was the tip of the iceberg that exposed that the “efforts” that Milei demanded fell on the most vulnerable and through repression. Every Wednesday the Government mounted operations for gases and rubber bullets mark that message.
The electoral debacle was not limited to Buenos Aires: in Corrientes, Lla was fourth, and the formation of a block of opposition governors anticipates a government crisis and the ghost of “postmileism.” Far from making real self -criticism, Milei recognized the defeat, but promised to deepen the adjustment. As a good servant of financial capital, It seems willing to give the last drop of energy of his government to harden the recipe demanded by the IMF and the big businessmen. Meanwhile, it is speculated with new governance variants.
A crisis of representation: the punishment vote and the (limited) Peronist channel
Peronism, despite its own crisis no longer has added many votes with respect to 2021, He knew how to channel social discomfort. Axel Kicillof was erected as the strongest figure in Patria force, generating an internal transition that for now keeps all sectors aligned, although tensions are far from resolving.
The vote by force Patria was, to a large extent, A punishment vote and a “minor evil” in front of the libertarian chainsaw. Peronism entertained with an open -air intern since Milei assumed, while preventing the mobilization from growing in the streets.
Everything indicates that the government is committed to redoubled its devastating economic and social policy. The fact that a government that can no longer organize public acts can only be explained by the role of opposition and, in particular, of Peronism. Recall that last year Milei had the support of the PRO, the radicals, the Peronists “with wig” and the complicity of the union bureaucracy to advance with the decrees and the “chainsaw.” Peronists who did not put the wig They justified their inaction Faced with the struggles of retirees and numerous sectors of workers, state or private, on the argument that “people had voted.” And then what now?
Now is when … you have to defeat it
The only way that Milei and entrepreneurs advance is whether it has a guarantee of the opposition, by action or omission. There is no place to wait for spare parts or agreements. While the bases demand reincorporations, salary increases and budget for health and education, the bureaucracy responds with silence and promises of “later.”
A serious opposition would go from words to the facts. In Congress, with the current opposition, it is at your fingertips throw down the decree 70/2023which enabled a transfer of rights and natural resources to the employers and the drainage of the State, completely unconstitutional. He was already rejected in the Senate and is only missing in the Chamber of Deputies.
I hope that so much balance in networks makes those who have sustained the current DNU 70/23 are played and once and for all we throw it down in deputies. There are no excuses left.

The union conductions of the CGT and the CTA, which are from the beginning in Patria Force, have to break the truce. They must urgently summon a unemployment and mobilization to stop the intentions of Milei, the great employers and the IMF to deepen the government plan.
Organize anger and build your own exit
In this scenario of crisis, The Left Unit Front (FITU) It proved to be a real and consolidated force in the province. Without resources or spaces in the large media, the left carried out a militant campaign and He won two new benches in the third electoral section, with Nicolás del Caño at the head, reaching 8% in La Matanza and achieving good results in municipalities of the Conurbano. Beyond the electoral, the left was the voice that from the first moment rose against the government attack and sympathized with the struggles. It was the only force that the government never voted for a single measure.
The crisis opens an unprecedented opportunity to defeat the IMF set and looting plan and financial capital. It is because we have to organize the anger from below, in the workplaces, study and neighborhood, promote assemblies in all the places that can be imposed on the union conductions that go to action.
The left, and in particular the PTS in the left front, it is proposed to put all its influence at the service of the mobilization against Milei, the IMF and the great entrepreneurs, and advance in the construction of a great party of the working class that fights for a favorable exit to the working people.
It is about giving urgent answers: no dismissal and distribution of working hours between employed and unemployed, 6 hours a day, 5 days a week; immediate increase in wages and retirement; nationalization of strategic sectors under labor control; and rupture with the IMF. For a general political strike until defeating the Government of Milei and preventing workers from paying the crisis.
The brake on Milei’s chainsaw has to start right now, organizing the anger and strengthening each fight. The task is urgent, and the departure, as always, will come from the organization and the struggle from the workplace and studies, and of the different sectors that are mobilized by their democratic claims.
