Within the Truckers' Union, some are already betting that the collapse will come sooner than expected. The fracture has transcended the union's offices to spread to the streets, sports, the guild's social work, and its business network. Posters appeared at the sanatorium in San Justo criticizing Liliana Zulet —Moyano's wife— for her role in internal management, evidencing how the family and power dispute intertwines with the union crisis. On Saturday, during a tournament organized by the Water and Soda branch on the field of Argentino de Merlo, tension became tangible: two factions of the union engaged in a massive brawl that ended with running, blows, and videos circulating massively on social networks. In the Collection branch —the largest and most combative— critical assemblies are multiplying where delegates warn that the “Moyano era” has ended. Meanwhile, from Pablo Moyano's circle, work is being done to capitalize on support with graffiti in favor of Aparicio and support campaigns that challenge the guild's traditional core. The combination of financial instability, internal conflict, and leadership wear raises an immediate question: will the current leadership hold until 2027, when the formal mandate expires, or will the crisis explode prematurely? Sources state that this case revived old resentments and brought to light the dispute between different leadership lines. The union's financial instability adds as an aggravating factor: the social work shows an alarming deficit, and staggered payments to workers have caused discontent among the bases. Secondly, the guild's political-economic crisis demands new management responses that the traditional structure is not providing: delays in medical benefits, an internal network of parallel businesses with soda and collection plants, and the perception that the structure has lost its historical course. The impact of the crisis is not limited to within the union: Truckers, considered for decades a key player in Argentine politics and the economy, sees its bases disengaging. Among the aggressors, members of football fan groups such as River's Banda del Oeste have reportedly been identified. The fight is part of a series of events: weeks before, anonymous leaflets in front of the Truckers' headquarters in Constitution attacked Marcelo “Aparicio,” the union secretary pointed out as a key figure in the Collection branch and close to Pablo Moyano. According to witnesses, one side responded to Pablo Moyano —the leader's eldest son— and the other to the sector closest to Jerónimo Moyano, the youngest son, aligned with his father. The administrative secretary, Claudio Balazic, and the treasurer, Paulo Villegas, both Moyano allies, were displaced after authorizing payments that are now being analyzed in the accounting expert report, which is expected to be completed by the end of the month. The union that once built Moyano as a pole for negotiation and political confrontation now faces the challenge of rebuilding its identity or resigning to irrelevance. While an investigation into a presumed embezzlement of nearly 10 million dollars advances, the union's employees, its mutual, and the social work began to receive their salaries in installments, and violent fights broke out between factions during a football tournament, revealing the depth of the internal fracture. In this climate, the displacement of historical leaders and the opening of judicial acts act as catalysts for the fracture. The background of the dispute combines two axes. Buenos Aires, November 11, 2025 – Total News Agency-TNA-A loyalty that no longer exists —that of the Truckers' Union led by Hugo Moyano— has exploded into an open conflict that combines a judicial, financial, and leadership crisis. The split between factions was reflected when a fight between union members during a football tournament at Argentinos de Merlo's field exposed the internal tension. First, the generational change: Moyano is 81 years old, and his leadership, once unquestionable, is now unraveling in the face of the rise of his son Pablo and other young leaders. The tournament in Merlo and the videos of the symbolic fight are merely the most visible reflection of a deep process of internal power decomposition. In the videos that circulated, two opposing groups are observed: one linked to Pablo Moyano and another to the sector that responds to Jerónimo Moyano and Hugo Moyano.

That dynamic is aggravated by the lack of clarity on who leads the union. While an investigation into a presumed fraud of $10 million advances, union employees denounced the payment of salaries in installments and the dispute between the different factions of the union deepened.
