After paro general who carried out the General Confederation of Labor (CGT)the National Government tried to lower the price of the force measure and described it as a extortionate act by union leaders. “Today was not a strike, it was an accumulation of threats and extortion”said spokesman Manuel Adorni. For her part, Patricia Bullrich announced that the Ministry of Security will appear before Justice for the more than 3,000 calls they received denouncing alleged pressures.

Javier Miley during his press conference. ““If there are no changes, we will continue with forceful measures.”said the leader of UPCN, Andrés Rodríguez.

For the official with the rank of Secretary of State in Argentine society “there is a change of era” and “a transversal rejection of these characters, of almost 80%.”
Earlier, but in the same critical tone, Luis Caputo, the Minister of Economy, had expressed himself, blaming union leaders for the sanctions on people who could not attend their jobs due to lack of transportation. “My solidarity with all the workers who cannot go to work today and will earn less at the end of the month as a result of this strike. I feel that unionism is increasingly distant from reality. People have already opened their eyes and are clear that they can only get out of this disaster with effort and sacrifice, not by spending taxpayers’ money or printing pesos so that they are worth less and less. Let’s continue trusting, we are on the right path,” he posted.
It was the line that the entire Government followed: trying to put the blame for the strike and its complications on the union members, characterizing them in turn as an organization that uses arrogance.
Bullrich said that they would take the calls for threats to Justice
After counting 3,856 accusations of extortion during the general strike, the head of the Security portfolio maintained that this Friday “we judicialized everything” and added that the strike “demonstrates the weakness of unionism.”
“That’s why we set up the phone, we’re not going to do that to receive data and then betray the people who reported it and not make a consistent report to protect the people and so that they call the oppressors to testify,” he said about 134. the anonymous line that was enabled this Thursday.
In line with what Adorni said, Bullrich asked who the union leaders represent. “They only have the power to stop transportation. And how do they do it? By intimidating”, he indicated. Criticism, he also maintained that “many politicians live off the union fund,” although he did not give his own names.
Furthermore, he assured that the National Government will not reach any agreement with the CGT. “We are not going to negotiate the successes of the Government,” he said, and identified himself as “Taliban.” “If you are not Taliban, they will pass you over,” he said.

For Daer, the “government must take note” of what happened, characterizing compliance as “strong” support. “We went on strike because the adjustment fell on retirees and the most vulnerable sectors,” she added.
“Far from being sustainable, it is taking sectors of citizens to extremes that will hardly be able to recover if this continues,” he indicated. Rodríguez, for his part, promised more forceful measures if the National Government continues with the same economic policy.
