Senator Mariano Recalde from the Frente de Todos expressed his desire for a more combative CGT and proposed to broaden the opposition space to the policies of President Javier Milei. Recalde stated that Unión por la Patria is working to gather forces, although he acknowledged that there are no other calls with the expected level of adherence, attributing it to ongoing historical processes.
In this regard, Recalde mentioned that, although he currently does not perceive a strong social rejection of the government, he believes that this perception may change over time. The senator urged to strengthen the opposition bloc in the Chamber of Deputies ahead of the legislative elections, warning about possible complications for the Government in the coming years if there is good electoral performance.
Recalde advocated for a broader call to opposition sectors to vote together in Congress, although he pointed out that, so far, he does not see a spectrum large enough to broaden too much. He also highlighted the importance of building alliances and the process of unity that is taking place in the City of Buenos Aires.
On the other hand, the head of the porteño Justicialist Party criticized opposition sectors that reject Milei's criticisms of groups like LGBT and feminism while supporting his economic plan. In this sense, he denounced that the Government uses these confrontations to divert attention from its austerity policies, closure of hospitals and businesses, and the loss of work taxes.
In light of this situation, he expressed hope that Javier Milei will reconsider his confrontational and regressive stance, although he expressed little optimism about it. He also emphasized the government's strategy of generating controversies to divert attention from the ongoing economic measures.
