Glassworkers’ Union HQ Vandalized as CGT Links Attack to Labor-Reform Fight

The timing days before the CGT’s December 18 mobilization prompted intimidation claims from union leaders, with investigators still seeking suspects.

Overview

  • Hooded intruders entered the SEIVARA building in San Telmo via an adjoining terrace, disabled security cameras, and trashed multiple floors, with Cristian Jerónimo’s office bearing the worst damage.
  • The union filed a complaint at Comisaría 1°, and Policía Científica conducted on-site forensics; authorities have announced no arrests or working hypothesis on motive.
  • Accounts differ on whether anything was taken, with Jerónimo saying camera servers were stolen while other reports say no theft was confirmed.
  • In a formal communiqué, the CGT condemned the break-in as an attempt to intimidate the labor movement ahead of Thursday’s protest against the government’s labor reform and urged a swift investigation.
  • Jerónimo, 41, a member of the CGT triumvirate and head of SEIVARA since 2018, asked prosecutors to clarify the case and called the timing suspicious given the ongoing labor-reform battle.
