The early nature of the general strike against
Javier Milei
- the story was repeated ad nauseam: barely 45 days passed since the libertarian landed at the Casa Rosada - could
lead to some misunderstanding
.
That we are facing a union escalation with no return and that the CGT will not stop until it reverses the official economic policy.
But that is not the game of the hegemonic sector of the Peronist union center.
From the document itself that was read in the Plaza de los Dos Congresos - the final draft was carried out by Gerardo Martínez, leader of the UOCRA - it emerges that
his spirit is far from the battle
.
It speaks of dialogue, consensus, national unity.
In the CGT they argue that in reality
they were led into a fight that they did not seek,
that they had no choice but to react after the presidential DNU that affects labor rights and mortally wounds key mechanisms of union financing.
Box.
The Cegetista expectation is that, after the strike, the Casa Rosada
will call them to a dialogue table
, although the Government's public gestures go in exactly the opposite direction: officials say that they will not sit down with those who "do not want the country to move forward." ”.
What happened in Deputies with the omnibus State reform law, where sectors of the opposition managed to impose numerous changes in the norm, generates enthusiasm in the Cegetista ranks.

They understand that, as with the deputies of different blocs, the Government will also agree to negotiate with the union members.
In the end, several leaders
have more experience and political waist
than the most veteran of the legislators.
Some of the union members at the protest this Wednesday are the same ones who led the general strikes against Alfonsín.
The vast majority have been heads of his union for more than 30 years.
Without reaching the vast majority of the Cabinet ministers - they have had dealings with Minister
Guillermo Francos
and with the Chief of Staff
Nicolás Posse
, although before he was an official -, the Cegetista hope is that Milei himself will summon them.
In the CGT they talk about a WhatsApp exchange between the President and Gerardo Martínez, which increases expectations.
Political arm wrestling
Beyond the protest itself, the Cegetistas will seek to capitalize on the strike in the
troubled river
that is Peronism.
Marginalized
for more than two decades from the decisions and political strategy of the PJ, they will now seek to be important actors in the rearming of the main political force of the opposition.
They want to stand as the pole that brings together the anti-K sector of Justicialism.

We will have to wait to see how the move turns out
after a rest of exactly 1,578 days.
To go back to his previous unemployment, you have to go back four years and almost four months.
