Overview
- Delegates convene Wednesday at the Obras Sanitarias stadium to renew the CGT leadership and elect a 50‑member council by full-list secret ballot.
- There is broad expectation of a renewed three-person leadership, with Jorge Sola (insurance) and Cristián Jerónimo (glass) emerging as leading candidates.
- The third seat is contested between Maia Volcovinsky, backed by women’s groups pushing for representation, and Octavio Argüello, promoted by the moyanismo.
- Luis Barrionuevo has threatened to present a separate list or skip the congress, while Abel Furlán’s push for a single general secretary lacks the votes but does not seek a break.
- The CGT has signaled it will take “forceful actions” if excluded from dialogue on the government’s labor reform, heightening the stakes of the final slate still to be confirmed.
