CGT Sets Nov. 5 Congress to Renew Leadership, With Sept. 18 Ratification

The Oct. 26 election is expected to shape the leadership format and the eventual slate.

Overview

  • The Consejo Directivo formalized the electoral calendar, calling a Comité Central Confederal for September 18 to ratify a leadership congress on November 5 at the Obras Sanitarias venue in Buenos Aires.
  • No agreement exists yet on whether to maintain a three-person leadership or return to a single secretary-general, and definitive candidacies remain unsettled.
  • Dialoguista unions drew about 140 leaders to a SETIA gathering in Ezeiza, signaling support for continuing a triumvirate to contain internal diversity.
  • Abel Furlán rallied CGT regional leaders at PJ headquarters, pushing a single-leader model and advancing a nine-point platform centered on job defense and collective bargaining.
  • Héctor Daer said he will step aside after nine years, while names circulating include Jorge Solá, Cristian Jerónimo and Maia Volcovinsky, with Carlos Acuña promoting Gerardo Martínez.
