Overview
- The Security Ministry lodged a complaint against ATE chief Rodolfo Aguiar under Penal Code articles 226 and 226 bis over his televised remark about seeking to “provoke the crisis,” an offense carrying 1–4 years in prison.
- Aguiar rejects the accusation, argues the government is undermining constitutional rights, and insists that exercising the right to strike is legitimate.
- ATE’s 24-hour stoppage is underway with a mobilization to the Secretariat of Labor in Buenos Aires scheduled for noon.
- CTA Autónoma and university unions including FATUN and Conadu groupings back the protest, while the CGT demands to be formally consulted on the reform.
- Patricia Bullrich called Aguiar destabilizing and warned security forces would respond to violence, as the judicial process moves forward with next steps yet to be defined.
