Argentina’s trade union federation, the General Confederation of Labor (CGT), marched through downtown Buenos Aires on Wednesday to pay tribute to International Workers’ Day. The Partido Obrero (Workers’ Party) and other left-wing parties rallied in Plaza de Mayo at 1 p.m. in a day of demonstrations against the government’s economic policies. The CGT rally closed with a press conference, during which Secretary General Héctor Daer criticized Milei’s economic and labor reforms. “There isn’t a single article that favors workers,” said Peronist deputy and bank workers’ union leader Sergio Palazzo at the congressional session Tuesday. Social organizations like Libres del Sur and Juan Grabois’ Popular Economy Workers Union met around 9 de Julio and Independencia.
