Overview

  • The CGT formally endorsed Fuerza Patria for the September 7 Buenos Aires provincial elections despite its leaders being left off the candidate lists.
  • Union chiefs lodged official protests over the absence of CGT representatives on the Peronist alliance’s tickets.
  • The labor confederation has committed to a mass San Cayetano march to the Liniers church on August 7 as a show of worker unity.
  • CGT leaders have agreed to convene a congress in coming weeks to elect new central authorities and accelerate organizational renewal.
  • These moves reflect the CGT’s bid to reinforce its political leverage ahead of Governor Axel Kicillof’s key contest with the Kirchnerist wing of the PJ.
