CGT Opens Congress to Elect New Leaders With Triumvirate Likely

Big unions seek a deal that unifies strategy on Milei’s labor reform.

Overview

  • Delegates convened at the Obras Sanitarias stadium in Buenos Aires this morning to renew the CGT leadership for the next term.
  • Negotiators signaled preference for a three-person leadership, with Jorge Sola (Insurance) and Cristián Jerónimo (Glass) as front-runners and the third seat still in dispute.
  • The final spot is contested between Octavio Argüello (Truckers), pushed by the Moyano camp, and a female candidate such as Maia Volcovinsky, reflecting pressure for gender representation.
  • A sector aligned with Luis Barrionuevo tried to postpone the vote and now threatens a break or a separate list after failing to secure its demands.
  • Powerful blocs controlling most delegates seek to avoid an open vote as mediator Gerardo Martínez warns of “contundent actions” if talks on labor reform stall.
