The government seems to simulate that everything continues to go according to the plan. The almost cosmetics changes with the “new” political table, together with the resurrection of the Ministry of Interior – with the end of trying a dialogue with the governors – seem to indicate that. As if he were in autopilot after the hard electoral defeat of Sunday, a few days later he attacked two sectors that already starred in hard fights in the streets against the libertarian government. The recent vetoes, both to university financing and the pediatric emergency, could mean that from the pink they are voting their own new storm.
Both sectors quickly activated their methods to prepare a new stage of the resistance against the adjustment plan. Dozens of faculties in the country started with public classes where it was discussed how to face the new provocation of the government. In the afternoon, assemblies were held where it was defined to mobilize on September 17 together with the health workers and retirees.
On the other hand, the Garrahan workers held a press conference on Thursday morning, in which they announced a strike for this Friday and Saturday, a noise for Friday night, and a unitary mobilization also for this Friday, along with teachers, students and auxiliary workers. The combative trade unionism will also be part of sectors that are in struggle. That sector of trade unionism, in a joint press conference with the Piquetero movement and with the support of the left, confirmed its participation in the march this Friday. In addition, they demanded again to the CGT to break the truce with the government and call national unemployment and fight plan until the wild adjustment defeats.
Everything indicates that all the aforementioned sectors will converge in the mobilization to Congress on Wednesday 17, day that is expected to be vetoes in the Chamber of Deputies.
“We warned that if Milei vetoed the University Budget Law, we were going to go out again, and we are doing that. We are coordinating with Garrahan workers and retirees “said the student leader of the Youth of the PTS, Luca Bonfante, during the public class day at the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters.
The Garrahan workers during their press conference this Thursday, made it clear that “this veto seeks to dismantle a hospital of excellence”, but that “it is not a sample of strength, but about A government in crisis, repudiated at the polls and without legitimacy to continue applying its chainsaw ”.
It is worth remembering that the student movement made a Important fight during 2024 against budget cut and salary backwardness. There were two mobilizations, through which historical levels of massive streets were reached. That fight included strikes, public classes, you take in dozens of faculties throughout the country and mobilizations in different provinces. On that occasion, Milei also veto the law that guaranteed an increase in financing, but this could not be turned, since two thirds were not reached in deputies, thanks to the several collaborations of governors and absences of a sector of Peronism.
Garrahan workers also star in an important fight A few months ago for the same reasons, a criminal budget cut and insufficient salaries along with long days for resident doctors and other hospital sectors.
Next Wednesday 17, when the two vetoes are eventually treated, They will be at the gates of Congress, like every week, retirees They also come from being the target of the government adjustment through the veto (for the second time) to the update of retirement and the pension moratorium. These measures were ratified in Congress, thanks to the collaboration of governors and sectors of Peronism With the libertarian government. With their own fighting gymnastics already conquered, the “old”, will also be part of that important day of struggle.
While the government crisis – based in the disastrous social and economic situations, and fed by corruption scandals and their own internal ones – follows its course, the libertarian administration with the attack on those sectors, runs the risk of sharpening the nails for their own coffin. The resistance that was expressed from the beginning of the government and currently continues through numerous struggles against closures, dismissals, salary arrears and other demands, could be enhanced in this new stage hitting as a single fist.
Shortly before this note was published, the veto was confirmed to the restitution of the contributions of the National Treasury (ATN), which would accentuate their disagreements with the governors, despite the fact that from the government there is talk of compensating it with funds from another way. It is the least indicated moment for the Executive to go to a direct confrontation with the leaders.
For this it is necessary that in universities, hospitals and workplaces of the struggle sectors, assemblies, stoppages, mobilizations and other fighting measures are deepened To be able to twist the leadership of the CGT and the CTA and break with the truce and passivity. It is necessary that they put themselves at the head of A true national struggle plan with the perspective of the general strike to defeat the adjuster and weakened government.
Everything indicates that Milei is already vetoed by working and popular majorities. The numerous fights that were given so far in his mandate wounded him and weakened him, achieving the relocation of certain political actors, as reflected in Congress, with the loss of almost automatic support he had to approve his most important laws, such as the Base Law. This rearrangement was expressed in the defeat of the ruling around the Disability Law. That group was on the streets giving the fight from the outset. The government seems to have entered its countdown, and was never so weak. It is time to defeat him. The forces are.
