The time of the policy It is never, immediately, the time for social. Winning at the polls is not equivalentmechanically, to impose new relations of force on a social scale. Even without political representation, social resistance can operate in a thousand ways, emerging here and there. It should be known: after two years of milleista management, an essential part of its agenda is still on standby. Privatizations, the node of that crude anti-state rhetoric, are even more promise than reality.
This does not mean ignoring last Sunday’s electoral victory. But That 40% exposed the crisis of Peronism more than the virtues of the national ruling party. Milei operated as a “lesser evil” for portions of society; as a political vehicle of conservative anti-Peronism; as a blockade to that time of ungainly inflation that had Sergio Massa as its protagonist.
The The left managed to partially break the polarization that Milei and Peronism built. Conquering three national seats, becoming third force in PBA and CABA -with a historic vote here-, expressed the convinced rejection of mass fractions of both the Mileist adjustment and the Peronist lukewarmness. Support for Bregman, Del Caño, Del Plá and other figures condensed their support for a political alliance that never speculated when it came to confronting the savage milleist adjustment. Inside and outside the walls of Congress.
Aware of the limits of your triumphthe Government now postulates a new governability, anchored in a consensus of those above, which has a single objective: to redouble the conditions of exploitation and oppression of an already plundered and impoverished below. That company must overcome the time of struggle. Since the recent past, since 2017, a ghost, that of resistance in the streets, has been unfolding. He comes into the world to remind Milei that winning in an election is not winning in the class struggle.
Embracing the fit
Effusive, the hug between Javier Milei and Osvaldo Jaldo He dismantled that brief self-deception in which he had soaked up a portion of the Peronist vote. The one who presented electoral unity as the way to “stop the right.”

After the ephemeral electoral avoidance, the Tucumán governor returned to his combat post; together with the national government, Jorge Macri, Maximiliano Pullaro and many others. He was not the only Peronist present. From La Pampa, Sergio Ziliotto He gave the present at this meeting called to endorse the reactionary reforms that the economic power is crying out for.
Demanded by Scott Bessent and Donald Trumpthis new time agreeer It exposes not only the limits of the official victory but also the structural fragility of the economy, now assisted with the official respirator of the North American Treasury.
Badly called “reformist”, the adjustment agenda interweaves labor reform, tax reform and, now, reform of the Penal Code. The word “consent” covers, in this case, a wild plan of the great economic powerdestined to further enslave the working class, while defunding the State in the interest of the business elite. That which, while demanding new “sacrifices” from the popular majorities, establishes companies and domiciles abroad in order to evade paying taxes in national territory. emblems of that fraud; Paolo Rocca (Techint) and Marcos Galperin (Mercado Libre)are among the most active promoters of the labor counter-reform.
Guests to agree on the new stage of adjustmentlos governors They get stuck in the labyrinths of politics. Last Sunday brought them more than one bitterness. On the one hand, the thinning of its national parliamentary lobbying capacity; on the other, the fear that Freedom Advances find ground to compete successfully for power in their districts. Under these tensions, they will have to negotiate items and a 2026 Budget that, in addition to being drawn, contains guidelines for a violent adjustment.
Doing the plank can never be a strategy
The driving of Peronism is consumed in the bonfire of your own internal. The current crisis condenses a historical decline, whose last manifestation in power was the failed Frontal administration. That crisis is what pushed the “strategy” of doing the plank facing the adjustment of the extreme right: letting Milei do it, waiting for his wear and tear and electoral fall.
Las September 7 elections They radicalized that hope. From that day until last Sunday, Fuerza Patria was the current of silence, elusive phrases and moderation. They graphed it . sharing photos, tributes and presentations with the anachronistic leadership of the CGT How many votes did those images subtract from them?
With her passivity and her betrayals, that ossified union leadership Peronist contributed to the constant loss of union and labor rights. The agreements by companywhich big capital now seeks to generalize through law, already have a history.
Faced with the government-business threat, the CGT already calibrates a response as moderate as it is impotent: a “triple strategy” that consists of paralyzing the strength of the working class and surrendering to the feverish art of the thread. That perspective only guarantees defeat.
December memories
Not so distant time, December 2017 emerges from the past to show power the working and popular combat capacity. Time of struggle in the streets, resistance to repressiona crisis of the Macrista administration, also endorsed by Peronist governors.
That resistance eclipsed “permanent reformism” that Mauricio Macri had been floated after his important electoral victory, two months earlier. He showed that winning an election is notautomatically, impose new relations of forces. Does the future repeat the past?
Esa resistance requires preparation. In every workplace, in every neighborhood, in every college. With the broadest democratic organization. With the decision to fight. And do it with the same tenacity that, over two years, faced the fierce adjustment of that Milei that had won with 56% of the votes. Faced with the consensus of labor slavery, resignation is not an option.
