The CGT wants to recover the political initiative and leads the assembly of
a great act for October 17
, the Day of Peronist Loyalty.
The idea was taken up by the national government and it will be an opportunity to recover the mobilization of Peronism, in the face of the banners that were given in the last two months.
These demonstrations represented a political challenge in the management of the street, something that Peronism believes to dominate.
In the ruling party "Frente de Todos", they see the hand of "Together for Change" in recent calls and distrust the spontaneity of the protest marches.
Faced with this, the workers' central - in partnership with the national administration - are preparing a "virtual act" in which, they say, between 2 and 3 million people could join.
The slogan "Stay at home", created by the government of Alberto Ángel Fernández,
conditions many leaders and militants who want to "go out on the streets now"
, so the call will be through people who connect from their computer or telephone and joins a forceful mobilization for next Saturday October 17.
The idea that one of the heads of the CGT, Héctor Daer, cranks up, is
that the President is - in person - in the Felipe Vallese Room, in the CGT building
on Azopardo street in Buenos Aires.
There, the entire board of directors of the Peronist labor union and the national Cabinet will be there.
The invitation includes Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.

From there, this response will arise to the banners that will be avoiding the street to avoid contagion: the Government always accused those who marched in the last time of maintaining an irresponsible attitude in the middle of a pandemic, which reaches to this date, the number of 711,325 infected and a total of 15,749 deaths.
"Between all of us we want to give each other a break, which is a political puff
,
"
one of the organizers tells Clarín.
"And that
the fact that Peronism puts millions of people on the street, in a virtual way, serves as a thermal sensation
: without places but with all the capacity that technology gives us. It will be a transmission where you log in and appear in the Hall Felipe Vallese ", explains, cybernetic, the hardened union leader who intends to repeat experiences of the same tone in marches held, in pandemic times, in cities such as Madrid or Washington.
In the cegetista assembly hall, apart from the civil servants and union members, they pretend to have governors, mayors and leaders of the social movements close to the Government.
With this show of force, the CGT wants to "reopen the workers' house" and show the unions as an "emblem of the working society."
In the organization are Héctor Daer (from Health) and Andrés Rodríguez (UPCN), who maintain dialogue with the Chief of Staff Santiago Cafiero -who was in charge of ordering and expanding
it-
, the Secretary General of the Presidency
Julio Vitobello
and the Undersecretary
Miguel Cuberos
, in addition to the presidential spokesman
Juan Pablo Biondi
.
But
the "cooking" of the event took place at a lunch last Friday the 18th at Casa Rosada, between Alberto, Daer, Andrés Rodríguez and the governor of Tucumán, Juan Manzur.
The political intention is that the closing of the day be with a speech by Alberto Fernández.
"The President is the one who has to lead and give a speech that definitely sets the course," says one of the participants at the lunch on Friday 18.

This virtual act will add a milestone in the path of several mayors close to the President who want "Alberto on the street," as is happening in the weekly outings that Fernández makes to the Conurbano.
These Buenos Aires chiefs want a President more in contact with "the people", despite being in a pandemic.
That instrumentation is still to be seen.
