CGT Sets Nov. 5 Congress to Renew Leadership, Leaves Triumvirate vs. Single-Head Decision Unresolved

Delegates emphasized unity, condemning President Javier Milei’s austerity program.

Overview

  • The Comité Central Confederal met at the CGT’s Azopardo headquarters and formally called the Ordinary Congress for November 5 at the Obras Sanitarias stadium.
  • The congress will renew national authorities for 2025–2029, including 36 secretariats and 14 vocalías, and will consider the 2021–2024 reports and balances.
  • Delegates did not decide between continuing a co-leadership model or returning to a single secretary-general, deferring the choice to keep the organization unified.
  • Speakers delivered sharp critiques of government policy, with Andrés Rodríguez denouncing an “ajuste salvaje” and figures such as Abel Furlán and Sergio Palazzo advocating confrontation.
  • Participation was limited to unions with dues current and delegate counts scale by membership size, and the session was led by Héctor Daer and Octavio Argüello with major union leaders in attendance.
