What was the harsh reaction in the CGT for the gestures of unionists to Javier Milei

The gestures of the CGT in recent days with the presidential candidate of La Libertad Avanza, Javier Milei, generated a stir in the union headquarters, after the summit of the head of the UOCRA, Gerardo Martínez, with the winner of the PASO and the statements of the Gastronomic leader, Luis Barrionuevo, who considered that the libertarian leader “will win in the first round.”

Two of the triumvirs of the trade union, Pablo Moyano (Truck Drivers) and Héctor Daer (Health), and the head of Sanitary Works, José Luis Lingeri, avoided “hitting” their peers, but redoubled criticism against Milei, who stands as one of the main “enemies” of the unions. The libertarian’s economic recipes are resisted by the central, where they affirm that he puts “at risk the fundamental structure of labor rights and current social security” for his proposals for adjustment and labor reform.

Moyano, one of the heads of the CGT, unmarked the central office of the meeting between Martínez and Milei: “They have done it in a private way, not on behalf of the CGT. I would not even meet with a character who permanently attacks workers, union organizations, claims the privatization of state companies, Aerolíneas Argentinas, YPF, which is going to cause thousands of layoffs, closure of ministries”.

The deputy secretary of Camioneros clarified that he does not judge Martínez and ratified his allegiance with the candidate for president of Unión por la Patria, the Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa: “I distance myself from those meetings, I have nothing to do with that space of right and I would never get together, I continue working so that the next president is Massa,” in statements to radio Splendid.

Héctor Daer and José Luis Lingeri redoubled their criticism against Javier Milei

Two other CGT leaders, Daer and Lingeri, also came out to attack the leader of La Libertad Avanza. The head of Health rejected the statements of the winner of the PASO, who said: “In the case of a company that pollutes the river, what is not well defined is the right to property, that company can pollute the river as much as it wants” .

Daer stated that “access to water is a fundamental right of all people” and repudiated the position of the libertarian: “Javier Milei’s statements about the privatization of the service in our country are one more threat that the candidate poses for the life of “All Argentines, putting access to water at risk is playing with everyone’s lives.”

The Health leader shared the statement from Obras Sanitarias, headed by Lingeri, which questioned “candidate Milei’s controversial statement about the value of water and the proposal to privatize that service,” and which warned: “Every day 4,000 children die from lack of safe water and sanitation system in the world, to say that water has zero value is to ignore the existence that water is life and that it is a universal right and a human right.”
