Overview

• Jorge Taiana, the top Fuerza Patria candidate in Buenos Aires, used a CGT event to reject Javier Milei’s planned labor changes and vowed to defend worker protections if elected.
• Sergio Palazzo, Hugo Moyano (h.), Héctor Daer and Andrés Rodríguez shared the stage at the Felipe Vallese hall and signaled support for Taiana’s candidacy.
• Union leaders said the push reflects IMF-style prescriptions that would defund unions and jeopardize the right to strike, citing the earlier decree 70/23 that unions challenged in court.
• Taiana criticized the government’s economic narrative as a “fictitious” success tied to an overvalued peso and figures such as Scott Bessent, linking Milei politically to Donald Trump.
• CGT figures described limited government willingness to engage and framed Taiana’s outreach as a needed channel as they ramp up mobilization for the October 26 legislative elections.
