Marches of social and left-wing organizations
The Piquetera Unit and leftist organizations will demonstrate tonight in front of Congress when Milei gives his speech before the legislative assembly, to inaugurate a new period of ordinary sessions.
"We are going to be in Congress with
a big march and a massive cacerolazo
to express our rejection of this war plan that the Milei government is carrying out against the workers," the leader of the Workers' Party, Gabriel Solano, announced yesterday from his networks.
The national deputies of the Left Front confirmed that they will converge with the street demonstrations once the Legislative Assembly is over.
Meanwhile, the general secretary of the Western Railway Union and leader of the Socialist Left/FIT Unidad, Rubén Pollo Sobrero, reported that there will be a mobilization
from 7 p.m. in front of Congress
to "repudiate Milei's chainsaw plan."
Prior to the demonstration, the railway workers of Sarmiento and neighborhood assemblies of the Western zone will carry out what they called
a "train" from Moreno to Once
, which will conclude with an act against "the attempt to privatize the train, the increase in the ticket and therefore increase in wages."
At 5:30 p.m. there will be a "turntable"
, just like in other stations such as Retiro and Constitución, to protest against the increase in transportation and ask for an educational ticket, which consists of jumping the turnstiles to avoid paying the fare.
The activity is promoted by the student commission of the Unidxs x la Cultura space, student centers, teaching unions, cultural sectors and neighborhood assemblies of the City that in a video the PTS activist Tatiana Fernández Martí called to jump the turnstile to travel without paying.
From Unidad Piquetera, the leader of the Polo Obrero (PO), Eduardo Belliboni, also confirmed that, from that space, they are going to mobilize "no matter the time, even if it is at night to prevent the popular sectors that live in remote neighborhoods from can attend."
