The country’s universities stand up again. On September 17, it will be the date of a great federal march against Milei’s veto to university financing, a direct attack on public education that adds to the rejection of the pediatric emergency.
The doctors and nurses of the Garrahan hospital announced a struggle plan with stoppages and mobilizations, such as the one they made this Friday to Plaza de Mayo, and confirmed that they will converge on the day of the 17 together with teachers, students and workers. To this are added the retirees that each Wednesday resist in the Plaza Congress against hunger retirements and the repression of Bullrich.
The Government is weak, an adjustment has been applying that impacts directly that less and less is reached at the end of the month, grow the indebtedness to eat, and already the closures of factories and dismissals multiply next to the recession. Despite the hard electoral defeat that came to confirm and deepen the crisis that passed, Milei recharges continues with its adjustment and attack plan for the most vulnerable social sectors.
The scenario marks a new stage of social resistance. The accumulated anger is expressed in the streets, despite the brake of union conductions. While the adjustment hits stronger and louder – less food on the table, more indebtedness to survive, spray wages and recession – the government insists to deepen its plan dictated by the IMF.
The National Interuniversity Council, which brings together rectors throughout the country, formalized the call for the Federal March on September 17, call that had already been developed from below with public classes and massive teaching and student assemblies in universities such as Philosophy and Letters, Social or Psychology of the UBA, among many others.
On Wednesday, September 17, they will seek to converge these struggles and can grow much more, since the huge university mobilizations of 2024 became an expression channel of many sectors of workers who want to face adjustment in education, in health, in retirement, but also in their pockets. A anger that is contained by the passivity of the union directions such as the CGT and the CTA, but that seeks to express yourself whenever it can. The result of the Buenos Aires elections of September 7 were also an expression of that discontent with the ruling party.
The force of the social mobilization could even converge with a session in the Chamber of Deputiesrequested with the objective of reject Milei’s last vetoesamong other points of the agenda. The combination of the pressure in the streets and the weakness of the ruling party in Congress It opens the possibility of a new political coup to the government, as happened with the approval of the Emergency Law in Disability, Just a week ago, for the huge fight that has been giving the disability group for the cruel and brutal attacks in pension cuts, treatments and providers that are essential for children, adults and their families.
But this whole process is raised a key demand: The CGT cannot continue to hold the truce and complicit silence while adjustment destroys health, education, retirement and work. The 17th day is a shout to convene at once an active general strike, which unifies all the struggles in progress and prepare the necessary force to defeat Milei’s plan and the IMF.
The libertarian government is going through a crisis that deepens day by day and discharges over the people with new devaluations. Faced with this, The position of the CGT reflects the background strategy of Peronism: wait for the elections, while Milei continues to advance. However, very important struggles are held in the streets that achieve broad popular support. The key now is to build an organization as wide and democratic, than Unify all sectors willing to face the government, articulating demands for education and public health, work, retirements and salaries, to become a single fist. Only a great struggle organized from below, that Mobilize the enormous strength of the working class, the student movement and the popular sectors, can impose on the CGT and the CTA that break its truce. It is not enough with a photo: a true struggle plan is necessary that, with a general political strike, defeats the Milei adjustment plan and the IMF.
