Regarding the Bases Law, Francos indicated that the expectation is that “there will be a ruling on Tuesday” and it will be discussed on the premises “next week.” “If the law is approved in general, it will be a very important step,” he said.

The last 24 hours were of maximum tension for the government of Javier Miley. To the bogged down discussion over the Bases Law in the Senate was added a general strike throughout the country, called by the CGT. The Government rejected the forceful measure and tried to downplay the importance of the workers’ support.

At a press conference, the CGT celebrated what they noted was almost total support for the strike. In addition, they asked the government to “take note” of society’s claims. And they warned that “They are not going to sit idly by” in the coming months.

“Salaries have grown more than prices in recent weeks, in real terms,” the official noted.
