An open confrontation is observed within the union, where factions led by father and son Moyano are clashing. According to internal sources, Condori offered his resignation as soon as the judicial investigation began, but it was rejected by Moyano. Condori's resignation undoubtedly represents a pivotal moment that tests the resilience of Argentine historical unionism. His eldest son, Pablo Moyano, whom the expelled man advised, is in conflict with his father, adding another dimension to the conflict. The union's social security fund, administered by the union, is in a state of collapse: reports of deductions from affiliates without adequate service, salary delays for staff, and the closure of offices have been reported as part of the deterioration of medical coverage. The loss of a trusted man, coupled with the exposure of the financial crisis, puts the need for transparency and structural renewal on the table. Politically, the impact extends beyond the union: the weakening of the Truckers' Union could affect the General Confederation of Labour of the Argentine Republic (CGT), which historically relied on this union as one of its pillars. The formation of the list that will support Hugo Moyano, the uncertainty over who will take on the legal role, and the strategy regarding the judicial case for alleged fraud are the axes that will mark the union's course. These factors also mix with the struggle for control of the union's cash fund. From Moyano's inner circle, it is stated that Condori's resignation was due to 'personal reasons' and does not damage the union's institutional leadership, but analysts and grassroots members interpret the event as another sign of the loss of power of the hard core surrounding the historical union leader. Additionally, the national government is observing the scenario with attention as part of the recomposition of union power in the country. Next week will be key: the congress for the renewal of authorities of the National Federation of Truckers will take place with a convulsed internal scenario. Buenos Aires, November 21, 2025 – Total News Agency-TNA – The sudden departure of lawyer and union leader Rodrigo Condori, who held the positions of Secretary of Coordination of Legal Affairs of the union in Buenos Aires and Secretary of Social Security and Pensions of the National Federation of Truckers until this Thursday, has deepened the internal crisis of one of the country's most powerful union organizations. Subsequently, he would have been sidelined within the union. His resignation comes amid a plot of investigations into a million-dollar fraud and the collapse of the union-linked social security fund. Condori, considered a key man in the legal structuring of the union headed by Hugo Moyano, left his post after sending a message via WhatsApp in which he stated: 'For two months I have not been able to fulfill the only function I have always had, which is to care for the union and Hugo, so it is time to step aside and make room for whoever will do so from now on.' The crisis that has erupted publicly is mainly oriented around a case for alleged overpricing of nearly 10 million dollars for the '15 de Diciembre' hotel, owned by the union in Mar del Plata, as well as general delays and backlogs in the truckers' social security fund. The timing of his departure—just a week before the federation's authority renewal congress—sparked voices linking it to the internal power shift in Argentina's most traditional transport union. Within the union framework, the resignation raises questions about the continuity of Moyano's management, who, at 81 years old, is seeking a new four-year term at the head of the federation.
