CGT Opens Leadership Race With Dueling Meetings as Consensus Builds for a New Triumvirate

The next leadership is expected to set a sharper line against Milei’s agenda.

Overview

  • The renewal kicked off with a gathering at SETIA in Ezeiza of more than 100 union leaders, ahead of a Thursday council meeting that will set the path to the November 5 confederal congress.
  • In a parallel move, UOM chief Abel Furlán rallied regional allies at PJ headquarters to push for a single secretary-general and challenge the ruling bloc.
  • With no unifying figure emerging, talks are coalescing around a younger three-person leadership, with Jorge Sola, Cristian Jerónimo and Maia Volcovinsky most often cited.
  • Union sources foresee worsening economic conditions and predict more confrontation with the Milei government, shaping the mandate for the incoming leadership.
  • Procedural maneuvers are under review as treasurer Gastón Frutos prepares a dues-debtor report that could redefine which unions remain on the CGT electoral roll.
