CGT Elects Sola, Jerónimo and Argüello to Lead New Triumvirate Through 2029

The vote consolidates a fragile balance before negotiations over Javier Milei’s labor reform.

Overview

  • Delegates at the Obras Sanitarias congress ratified a three-person leadership for 2025–2029 with Jorge Sola, Cristian Jerónimo and Octavio Argüello.
  • According to CGT figures, 145 of 200 affiliated unions took part and 1,830 of 2,130 delegates backed a single list.
  • Luis Barrionuevo left the venue with UTA leader Roberto Fernández in protest, warning of a potential breakaway that leaves a contained risk of fragmentation.
  • UPCN’s Andrés Rodríguez was named deputy secretary, and key secretariats were allocated to maintain cross-faction representation including roles for Héctor Daer and Gerardo Martínez.
  • The renewed leadership balances moyanista, ‘gordos’ and ‘independientes’ blocs and must decide whether to negotiate or confront the government’s planned labor changes.
