Overview
- The Ministry of Security submitted a complaint accusing ATE secretary‑general Rodolfo Aguiar of threatening the constitutional order, citing his TV statement that his job is to “provoke the crisis of this government.”
- The presentation was signed by Fernando Soto and made by his express order from Minister Patricia Bullrich, who asked a federal court to open a criminal investigation.
- Prosecutors framed the case under Penal Code articles 226 and 226 bis, with media noting potential penalties of one to four years in prison.
- Bullrich labeled Aguiar “desestabilizador y golpista” in a post on X, while the filing argues his comments sought to affect the president’s popular mandate during the push for a labor‑law overhaul.
- Aguiar and ATE rejected the accusation as an attempt to criminalize protest, defended the right to strike, and confirmed a national walkout with a noon march to the Secretaría de Trabajo on Wednesday, with support voiced by CTA Autónoma.
