Once again
Truckers and the UOCRA
led the call for the massive march that the union centers called against the government of Javier Milei.
Also important was the militant contribution of
the two CTAs, who marched together
, and the
Union of Workers of the Popular Economy (UTEP)
, which together with other social organizations will mobilize next week to the doors of several hypermarkets to order food.
As in other workers' demonstrations, there was
a data war about the massiveness of the protest
.
For the Ministry of Security of
Patricia Bullrich
, there were only
40 thousand people
around Congress.
According to the
organizers , more than
500 thousand people
were mobilized
.
The Buenos Aires police were located in the middle, closer than the
national government
estimated , but they spoke of
100 thousand protesters.
To avoid tensions at a time when the CGT privileges unity, the
union led by the Moyano family
was located on the
Plaza de los Dos Congresos sector bordering Rivadavia Avenue
while the column made up of
Gerardo Martínez's bricklayers
did the same. own
about Hipólito Yrigoyen
.
Both groups managed to approach the stage located on the dry plaza located in front of Parliament.
The
two CTAs
entered the march
from Avenida de Mayo and Santiago del Estero
and little by little they occupied spaces until well into the square.
On stage were
Hugo Yasky
, who arrived in a wheelchair after having suffered an accident, and
"Cachorro" Godoy
, leaders of both centers.
Armando Cavalieri heads the column of the commercial union this Wednesday.
Another of the most important columns was that of the
UTEP
, which was located
on Rivadavia and Entre Ríos avenues
.
There you could see the former president Esteban "Gringo" Castro, carrying a support that carried an image of the Virgin of Luján.
Surrounded by the "Missionaries of Francis",
close to the Pope
, it was hoped that this concentration would be the starting point for the
rearming of Peronism "seriously"
that would manage to return to power.
On stage was the new head of the center,
"Peluca" Gramajo
and also
"Chuky" Menéndez
, from Barrios de Pie.
Ordering food from supermarkets
Together with other social groups,
they plan to march next week to the doors of supermarkets
to present a "petition" to obtain food donations because there is a lack of products in the community kitchens because Social Development has not been complying with the scheduled deliveries.
Far from the stage was La Cámpora
which, led by
Máximo Kirchner
who wore a blue cap to face the torrid day, did not want to miss the first march against the Government.
The
Camporista
militants were located
on the corner of Ridavia and Montevideo
and from there they listened to the speeches of the Cegetista leaders.
Unions such as Commerce
also contributed militant fervor
, which led by Armando Cavalieri carried a flag that called for
"Increase now for retirees, they are not caste, they are the most vulnerable."
Groups from UPCN, Sanitary Works,
FempinRa port workers
, Unión Ferroviaria, Aeronavegantes, Textiles and Food
were also seen
.
These last two unions stood out for identifying themselves with helium balloons that flew above the crowd.
Precisely the head of the Food Union,
Rodolfo Daer
, had to endure the effects of
pepper spray
when he was caught in the middle of an incident when he tried to enter the Plaza.
The fact is that members of the Federal Police
dispersed members of the Federation of Municipal Employees of Lomas de Zamora
who were walking in the middle of Entre Ríos Avenue and in the midst of the tumult, they threw the irritating fluid.
Beyond being present on several flags,
the mayors of the Conurbano did not mobilize as on other occasions.
Governor
Axel Kicillof also participated in the march
and left from the corner of Lima and Avenida de Mayo accompanied by some communal chiefs and Buenos Aires leaders.
He then retired to the offices of the Security portfolio in Puente 12 to learn about the progress of the investigations of the latest police cases, such as the brutal murder of Umma.
