Various political and union sectors will join the Federal March in the province of Buenos Aires to express their rejection of violence against women and inequality. The CGT, the CTA of Workers, deputies from Union for the Homeland, and the Frente Grande confirmed their participation in the mobilization against the national president's speech.
"This Saturday, February 1st, from Congress to Plaza de Mayo and in all provinces of the country, we march with a clear and firm message: no to fascism, no to hate speech," stated the organizing group. A massive and historic mobilization is expected, according to statements from the leader to the Agencia Noticias Argentinas.
In the lead-up to the march, the government labeled the event as "political" and expressed that it would not affect President Milei's image. Since addressing homosexuality and pedophilia in Davos, various political figures have condemned his remarks and called for participation in the mobilization.
Cristina Kirchner and Elisa Carrió criticized Milei's speech, calling it disrespectful and in violation of the National Constitution. The governor of the province of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof, supported the march and criticized the "violence" in the president's words.
Simultaneously, organizations from the LGTBIQ+ community will mobilize towards Plaza de Mayo in rejection of Milei's comments against sexual diversity. The march, called for 4 PM by the Organizing Commission of the Pride March and other spaces from the community, is expected to be massive and constitute a historic demonstration in front of the Casa Rosada.
