CGT March: Here's What We Know About the Mobilization to Congress

The CGT is organizing a protest march to Congress against a proposed labor reform scheduled for discussion in the Senate.

On February 11, the CGT (General Confederation of Labor) will hold a significant mobilization in Buenos Aires to voice opposition against the labor reform proposed by the Executive Power. This march is expected to draw a large crowd and exhibit strong solidarity from various labor sectors. The event is officially scheduled to commence at 3 PM at Plaza de los dos Congresos, marking a key moment for workers' rights advocacy in Argentina.

The Secretary General of the Insurance Workers and a leading figure within the CGT, Jorge Sola, has emphasized the march as being both strong and substantial, indicating the seriousness with which the labor community perceives the proposed legislative changes. The protest is part of a broader movement to uphold workers' rights amid ongoing discussions regarding economic reforms, which are often contentious and provoke varying reactions across the political spectrum.

As the march approaches, observers will be on the lookout for the turnout and the messages conveyed by the protesters. The impact of the CGT's mobilization will likely reverberate through the political scene, particularly as it concerns the trajectory of labor regulations and workers' protections during a time of economic change in Argentina.
