Due to the pandemic, the Government is preparing to once again extend the mandates of the leadership of all the unions and of the CGT itself.

It will be for a few months, but the workers' union is

already planning to elect their authorities in September

.

The decision not to extend the cegetista congress beyond that month is due to a political calculation: they want the new leadership to be elected before the national legislative elections, scheduled, for now, for October.

What has been resolved in the hard core of the Cegetista is to

move

the general vote

away 

from the internal Cegetista.

For this reason, they allege that the congress to elect the union central authorities must be held before the midterm vote.

"If the government wins the elections, it is going to want us to finger the CGT authorities,"

reasons a union leader.

"Ours has to be linked to our times, not to those of the Frente de Todos," agrees another cegetista chief.

And he adds: "We are not part of the cream of the Frente de Todos, we are not at their small table, so we

could hardly let their decisions determine us

.

"

Alberto Fernández and Fabiola Yáñez with Hugo Moyano, his wife and their youngest son, in Olivos.

Resolution 1199 of last September of the Ministry of Labor extended until next Sunday 28 the "suspension of the electoral processes, the Assemblies and Congresses, both Ordinary and Extraordinary, as well as any institutional act that implies the mobilization, transfer and / or the agglomeration of people, of all the trade union associations registered in the registry of this Enforcement Authority ”.

The resolution reaches all the unions and the CGT.

In Work they confirmed to

Clarín

that, in the coming days, the mandates will be extended through a new resolution, but they did not clarify for how long.

In the CGT they say it

will be for 60 or 90 days

.

Although it is still early, the talks between the different union tribes have already started.

With some delay (he usually did it in January), Luis Barrionuevo plans to hold his traditional barbecue with trade unionists in Mar del Plata on Saturday the 20th month.

The volume of the call will be a way to position itself in the face of the internal cegetista.

"It's

going to be a big photo"

, they announce in the New York neighborhood.

The CGT registers have also begun to be purified so that the future congress can only be attended by union delegates with up-to-date fees.

One of those who is with this task is

Gastón Frutos

, from Panaderos.

The consensus among the different sectors is that today there is no margin to return to the format of a single boss, as were

José Ignacio Rucci

,

Saúl Ubaldini

, or closer in time, Hugo Moyano, who achieved it but with the " finger "by Néstor Kirchner.

"

One single boss is impossible. Nobody synthesizes all sectors of the union movement

," says a member of the smallest table of the Peronist labor

union

.

Thus, in order to contain all the wings, the leadership will have to continue to be collegiate, as agreed in different unions of weight and union spaces.

What's more: the scenario that looms is that the current leadership of two members -Carlos Acuña and Héctor Daer- is expanded to four co-secretaries general.

The reason?

Facilitate the return to the CGT of important actors who today have their feet outside the central: the Moyano, the bank Sergio Palazzo and the railroad

Sergio Sasia

, who articulates a space that brings together between 30 and 40 unions and shows a vocation to reach the cegetista driving.

The Cegetista small table is occupied by Gerardo Martínez (UOCRA), Andrés Rodríguez (UPCN),

José Luis Lingeri

(Obras Sanitarias), Armando Cavalieri (Commerce), Antonio Caló (UOM) and the two current co-secretaries, Héctor Daer and

Carlos Acuña

, that is in representation of the barrionuevismo.

At that table they say that Daer has already announced that he wants to continue as secretary general.

What happened to Acuña is still unknown.

It is known that Luis Barrionuevo maintains regular conversations with the railroad Sasia, who this week is scheduled to meet Hugo Moyano and, possibly, the one who comes with Alberto Fernández.

With a collegiate leadership of four, there would still be two free spots.

In the event that La Bancaria returns to the CGT, one of those seats would be for Sergio Palazzo.

Alberto Fernández with the cegetistas Carlos Acuña and Héctor Daer.

The other seat would be reserved for Moyanismo, as long as the trucker boss agrees to return to the union.

Pablo Moyano, eldest son of the union leader, is also listed in the race, although his temperament is objected to by several unions.

There the chances of the little

bobbin Omar Plaini grow

in representation of what was known as Moyanism and today it appears as very broken.
