They said they were defending the public university, but extremists like Mariela Colleta, former president of the UA Economics Student Center, voted for a law that takes away workers' rights, attacks retirement, advances in privatization, and gives benefits to the powerful. and delegated powers. Meanwhile, Peronism was wiped from the streets in the face of Miley's brutal attack. But we have time to prevent that. We have to enforce all strikes and mobilizations when it comes to the Senate.
This Tuesday, the House of Representatives approved half of the approval of the law establishing the ruling party. The package of amendment and delivery laws that the Miley government hastily sent after the Great University March. The “cooperative” blocks helped UCR to be on top. At the same time, the CGT and CTA were erased, and the UFP even cast some votes in favor of a large investment incentive system that benefits oil and mining companies. Millions learned at the last minute of the seriousness of the attack, thanks to the left.
At the Faculty of Economic Sciences, the “New Space” has already been removed from the gathering called for by students and professors, while it has bowed to the blackout as a self-adaptation measure at the university imposed by the authorities. For its part, the Proyecto Económicas group linked to Peronism refused to vote for the Argentine Airlines workers facing layoffs, and now with this law with a half-penalty in the deputies, it could be privatized.
Representatives of the extremist group cooperated with a majority of 30 votes, between midnight, for a weak government after the huge university march in which more than a million people participated in the streets throughout the country. From very early on, the Left denounced that they were “rushing in because they know they are running out of social humour.” Added to the student march are strikes promoted by various sectors, such as oil workers, maritime workers and other transport workers who will implement strong measures on May 6, before the general strike on May 9.
For their part, the trade union centres, with the CGT negotiating labor reform with the government, the CTA and the student centers which were in Peronist hands, were wiped from the streets during the vote in the face of the brutal attack inspired by the trade unions. The foundations of the law that affects retirees, workers, and the most vulnerable and poor workers in the country.
Just as we were hundreds of thousands in the streets on the 23rd, we must organize and impose rallies on the leadership of the student centers to organize and mobilize in the face of the amendment and extradition measures that Miley wants to pass. Nuevo Espacio turns its back on us students and education workers while on the other side it negotiates with Miley's government.
We students must join all the ongoing struggles. To cope with layoffs and adapt. Enough of the repression against workers and youth. We can't wait any longer: for CGT/CTA to call for an active strike and battle plan now!
