The CGT ordered a 12-hour general strike for next January 24, in rejection of the DNU of President Javier Milei and the subsequent Omnibus Law that he sent to Congress with enormous legal and labor system changes, and among the multiple repercussions that the measure of strength generated this Thursday by the head of the Metallurgical Workers Union, Francisco Abel Furlánpredicting that this measure of force “We are going to gather a million people in the street.”
Furlán’s statements were in the context of an interview that was conducted with him in Radio Splendid AM 990, an occasion that the union leader took advantage of to once once more question various aspects of the Decree of Necessity and Urgency signed by Milei in his first hours in power. For the head of the metallurgical union, the threats that Milei or other spokespersons for his government make “saying that there will be 15,000% inflation are not true.”
“They want us to believe that we are in a war, and it seems that Milei, instead of being the president of Argentina, is the elected president of Ukraine,” Furlán said regarding the multiple pro-government voices that, when they demand approval or support for the opposition’s DNU, invoking the extreme seriousness of the hour, that “everything they say is not true.”
“What is true is that the workers with the DNU measures, it is not that they are not going to make ends meet, but that something much worse is going to happen, they are going to lose their jobs directly,” emphasized the union leader, who replaced Antonio Caló at the helm of the metallurgical union last year.
The CGT will march for the second time once morest Milei on January 24: “The omnibus law is worse than the DNU”
Former deputy, close to La Cámpora and Cristina Kirchner, Furlán expressed confidence in the power of mobilization that the most important unions of the CGT would show to the extent that the Central Confederal Congress decided next month, launching in this regard the statement that we cited above. above, in the sense that “on January 24 we are going to gather a million people in the streets.”
