Third General strike against Javier Mileis Politics – Diepresse.com

In Argentina, numerous people have put the work in President Javier Milei in protest against the hard savings program of the ultra -liberal government of President Javier Milei. Trains, subways and taxis did not drive, planes stayed on the ground and the harbor terminals stood still. Banks, the Post and the garbage disposal were also strike. It was the third general strike in Argentina since Mileis took office in December 2023.

The libertarian head of state prescribed a radical reform program to the highly indebted country. The economist dismissed thousands of state employees, shortened subsidies and ended the financing of public expenditure with the grading press. In doing so, he managed to significantly lower inflation and present a balanced budget.

However, the purchasing power of many Argentinians also dropped. « People are dissatisfied because the money is no longer reached until the end of the month, » said Andrés Rodríguez from the CGT union roof association in the Rivadavia radio station. The pensioners are particularly affected, whose covers are hardly adapted to inflation. Around 70 percent of the pensioners only receive the minimum pension of the equivalent of 290 euros. The shopping cart to cover the basic needs is the equivalent of 1,000 euros.
