According to the union leader, there was massive support for the second general strike against Javier Milei’s policies. The government described the strike as “political,” to which Daer responded that “the strike had the social support and, above all, the political support to carry it out. It must take note of what this means and change its austerity politics, which are taking us to the extreme,” Daer said from the CGT headquarters. “Far from being sustainable, it’s taking a lot of us, from many social sectors, to the extreme. Many people who participated and went on strike voted for him,” said Moyano, adding that if the current economic policies continue, the CGT will continue to organize strikes against the government.
