The owner of the Union of Tourism, Hotel and Gastronomic Workers (UTHGRA), Luis Barrionuevo, suffered a decompensation condition this Tuesday for which he had to be emergency hospital in it Güemes Sanatorium, waiting for the medical part, as confirmed by official sources THE NATION.
“I arrived at the Güemes Sanatorium decompensated, but it is now stabilized,” Sources close to the historic union leader clarified in relation to his state of health. As this media learned, Barrionuevo remains under observation, due to a condition associated with a rise in blood pressure, awaiting the medical report.
Barrionuevo, 82 years old, is head of the gastronomic guild since 1979. He came to the union as a normalizing delegate during the last dictatorship and only in democracy did he win the union elections that he leads to this day. Recently, the union leader distanced himself from the Government, after having supported Javier Milei during the PASO of 2023, in an electoral alliance that was fleeting and that fissured due to short circuits due to oversight and financing.
As published by LA NACION, the link between the President and Barrionuevo was broken with the agreement for the runoff between Milei and Pro. On that occasion, the union member explained to his troops that the understanding with the libertarian economist had reached its conclusion. end for not having been consulted about the negotiation that was opened with Mauricio Macri y Patricia Bullrich.
Behind this slamming door was also the fact that his ex-brother-in-law Dante Camañowith whom he is confronted in court for control of the Buenos Aires headquarters of the gastronomic establishments, had supported Together for Change in the first electoral round.
Distanced from the government and after a decrease in his public appearances, Barrionuevo led a press conference in early April at the Buenos Aires headquarters of the Hotel Gastronomic Business Federation (Fehgra), where he warned that, as a result of economic management, the country was “entering a pandemic without a virus.” At that time, the union member targeted the Government administration by pointing out the lack of a “productive, work and consumption policy.”
It was Barrionuevo who, during a meeting with transport unions and allied unionists in Parque Norte, demanded that the CGT convene a plenary session of general secretaries to define what forceful measures to take, prior to the May 1 strike that finally led to forward the unions. At that time, they supported him Carlos Acunapart of the triumvirate that commands the union center, and Omar Maturanoleader of The Fraternity.
The union led by Barrionuevo is a shareholder in the Güemes Sanatorium, where the union member who arrived at the institution unbalanced due to increased pressure is currently being hospitalized.
