Overview

• CTA-A, CTA-T and CGT transport unions have ratified an August 7 mobilization from San Cayetano church in Liniers to Plaza de Mayo under the banner “Paz, Pan, Tierra, Techo y Trabajo.”
• Movements within the Frente de Lucha por la Soberanía, el Trabajo Digno y el Salario Justo will join the march to demand job security and social justice.
• Key CGT titular leaders Héctor Daer, Carlos Acuña and Octavio Argüello were excluded from the ratification meeting, underscoring factional tensions within the federation.
• Union officials warn that President Javier Milei’s use of extraordinary decree powers and zero-deficit agenda favor economic elites and risk dismantling state employment and protections.
• Hugo “Cachorro” Godoy denounced CGT ties to the government, called for deeper union unity and pointed to the closure of about 16,000 small and medium enterprises under current austerity policies.
