Argentina is experiencing a general strike led by the CGT as a response to proposed labor reforms currently being debated in Congress. This 24-hour strike has brought public transportation to a standstill, with no subways, trains, or flights operating and only a few bus lines functioning. Although there have been no public marches, the strike has received considerable support from transportation unions and various sectors, marking the fourth general strike under President Javier Milei.

The impact of the strike is evident in the suburbs, particularly in the Buenos Aires conurbano, where usually crowded areas are now largely empty, demonstrating the wide adherence to the strike. On what is typically a bustling day at the Moreno train station, the absence of passengers and vendors has been striking. The usual flow of commuters has been replaced with deserted streets and scarce public transport, making travel difficult across the greater Buenos Aires region.

This strike reflects ongoing tensions in Argentina regarding labor rights and economic conditions, showing the public's displeasure with the government’s proposed reforms. As the situation unfolds, the implications may lead to further discussions on labor policy and the government's approach to these economic challenges, especially with a watchful eye on public sentiment and the response from various civic groups and unions.
