Tensions on rise in Milei’s Argentina as unions, movements confront government

The repression of a protest demanding improved pensions for retirees earlier this month was a turning point. A group of social actors, including unions, picket groups and popular movements, agree that now – with President Javier Milei under increasing pressure – is the time to take to the streets for an intense agenda of public demonstrations. Behind this fixture list of rallies are organisations that were, not so long ago, distanced from each other. Today, however, the groups are in agreement: it is time to draw a line in the sand. The CGT has yet to define a date for the third general strike of the Milei administration.
