The president of the We Make Federal Coalition (HCF) bloc, Miguel Ángel Pichettoreferred to the decision of the General Confederation of Labor (CGT) to call a general strike for May 9 against the president’s fiscal adjustment policies Javier Miley and he suggested to the Government to “settle the differences” because, if not, the situation “could get complicated.”
“Government you have to keep trying to dialogue. There is a debate in Argentina that has to do with the increase in food and public services, and the only thing that has not been balanced is the salary,” said Pichetto in “País Adolescente” with Fernando Gonzalez by CNN Radio.
After that, he highlighted that the approval of the joint ventures are the “central axis” and explained that this negotiation would allow the workers’ confederations “a reasonable solution and an understanding of the economic process with some sensitivity.” “There has been a salary liquidation Regarding the work sectors, this must be recomposed in the only way we can, which is in the discussion of salaries for this year,” explained the president of the HCF block.
Pichetto president?
However, he noted that he believes that the massive mobilization of May 9 can still be avoided: “There is still time for the Government and the CGT to find a path also that avoids the measure of force and that can settle the differences.” And he warned: “We have to look at these issues because if not it can be complicated“There is strong pressure among the middle and working sectors for the increase in rates.” However, he clarified that he considered the first general strike “totally inopportune.”
In this sense, he also referred to the statements of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in which they requested an effort to “protect the most vulnerable” and warned: “There is a set of signals that are also issued from international organizations and from the monetary fund itself that have come to Argentina and that have confirmed that the path has that will always be the way to build political dialogue, agreements and a path that allows recovery“.
Pichetto on the internal situation in the ruling party and the Bases Law
The deputy spoke about the conflicts that the ruling party went through during the formation of the impeachment commission and the formation of a new block by Oscar Zago. “It is still a bad sign on the part of Libertad Avanza,” he commented and referred to the departure of the former president of the liberal bloc “it is assumed that they will continue supporting the government.”

Likewise, he pointed out that “the problem that Libertad Avanza had in the Commission” could make the treatment of the Income Tax and the Base Law will be delayed until next week “undoubtedly.” “I estimate that the treatment in committee is going to be shorter. We must not forget that the debate took place for almost a month and a half,” she commented.
And he explained: “The Base Law advanced a more positive dialogue with the Minister of the Interior, Guillermo Francoswith the Chief of Staff, with Santiago Caputo, with the economic area, with the governors, and it seems to me that there is a more reasonable framework. There has been dialogue, there has also been a proposal that is also noticeably smaller than what was at the time the Omnibus Law. The fiscal chapter is incorporated, which is important for the provinces.”
“We have to give these instruments to the government. It seems to me that It is important that the government has them to be able to govern“, he said. Highlighting his dialogue position, Pichetto highlighted: “Dialogue in politics is important and it was demonstrated with the actors that the Government put into dialogue, especially with those blocks that we had a supportive view, of understanding that it was a new Government, which needed a series of instruments.”

Pichetto on the government’s international policy and Milei’s trip to the US
The president of HCF also spoke about the strong position that the Government takes regarding the international policy and the close alliance with West. “I was always against the vision that the previous government had with links with dictatorships, with Nicaragua, Cuba, Venezuela. It seems to me that Argentina’s place is the West and the link with USA It has to be positive. “I also share the capitalist vision.” She said.
However, he clarified: “I also believe that diplomacy requires a pragmatic viewyou have to be careful with Chinais Argentina’s buyer of primary products and also those that have added value and has added meat to the market.” And he added: “The important thing is always the national interests and this is what must be defended.”

Along these lines, he spoke about the journey of Javier Milei to United States to meet with Elon Musk. “I see it as an interesting fact for the President to meet with a businessman who has an extraordinary position doing cutting-edge technology. He is a very powerful manis the owner of what Twitter or X is, but I also have a slightly more balanced view in terms of national interests,” he emphasized.
“I don’t really like the idea of Argentina opening up with other satellites and technological development is injured and the self-interest of many businessmen and large Argentine companies that have invested in the land. You can never stop the future or technology, but you have to be careful with these things,” he concluded.
