Protests Against Milei's Government Over Transport Strikes

The government of Javier Milei is facing a new protest from the most combative unions, with the transport sector, except for the UTA, announcing a 24-hour strike. This means the paralysis of trains, subways, planes, boats, and trucks, even affecting garbage collection. The government responded by using the MiArgentina app to question the strike and urging to report those forced to stop their activities against their will.

Presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni criticized the unions that called for these measures, arguing that "the privileged are the ones who can afford to stop." He emphasized that the working Argentines who wish to live in a better country do not have the same options and do not want to carry out strikes. Adorni specifically pointed out unions such as the airline workers, pilots union led by Pablo Biró, Pablo Moyano's union, the state workers of ATE, the AFIP union, and the Railway Union, accusing them of defending privileges and harming those who wish to work.

According to Adorni, the libertarian government has exhausted dialogue options to avoid the forceful measures that will ultimately materialize in the coming days, impacting train, subway, truck, and air and maritime transport services. The official stance is that with these strikes, the privileged are trying to harm those seeking to work, those who opted for a change in Argentina to eliminate privileges and end inflation, favoring a better future for all.
