The General Confederation of Labor (CGT) called this Thursday for a half-day general strike for January 24, in protest against the DNU and the omnibus law that Javier Milei sent to Congress.
The force measure will begin at 12 noon and end at midnight on January 24, CGT sources confirmed to Clarín. It includes a mobilization to Congress. The date is one day before the day scheduled by the national government for the omnibus law to be approved.
The last general strike called by the labor union was on May 29, 2019, at the end of Mauricio Macri’s government and before the elections in which the then President competed with Alberto Fernández.
“The idea is to support and demand politics, which is Parliament, to act in favor of workers and civil society, which is where 100 percent of the adjustment happens,” they justified from the CGT leadership. . On January 10 there will be a plenary session to organize the measure.
The entity had gone to Court this Wednesday to demand that Justice take action against the mega DNU that Milei presented on the national network and published in the Official Gazette a week ago.
But it was even in the hours after the decree of necessity and urgency was made official that one of the CGT leaders recognized that the general strike was a firm possibility. There is “a climate for a strike,” Héctor Daer said then.
