Peronism did not manage to carry out a unified act on Loyalty Day and neither were the main leaders of the Frente de Todos present, which once again showed itself disunited and with a new internal one. The CTA, CTA Autónoma, La Cámpora, PJ Buenos Aires and the gemio de Camioneros made their act in Plaza de Mayo. On the other hand, the General Labor Center gathered at the Obras Sanitarias stadium and the sector of social organizations met at the Laferrere stadium in the Buenos Aires municipality of La Matanza. The act of Sanitary Works was the first to begin, around 2 pm, where a new space was launched to discuss the assembly of the lists and the presence. “We do not want to break any front, Peronism, but we want Peronism with workers, because otherwise we are relegating in who does not have the vision and clear interests where to take our country,” said Héctor Dáer, general secretary of the CGT.

“We do not have the same thing to live with this inflationary process than to do everything possible to channel this mismatch that we have every day in prices,” he added, and added: “We are going to debate in Peronism, but we do not want to be the stone guests in that debate.” In turn, the general secretary of the Construction Workers Union of the Argentine Republic (UOCRA), Gerardo Martínez, demanded: “We want to put councilors, provincial legislators, deputies and national senators.” Meanwhile, the co-director of the CGT, Carlos Acuña, was consulted by the media regarding the 2023 elections and said that he would like a candidate like Sergio Massa because “he is a young man with a lot of desire and who is showing that he was not comfortable and grabbed this hot iron.” The trade unionist said this before entering Obras Sanitarias as part of the Loyalty Day event. In Plaza de Mayo, the president of the Buenos Aires PJ and leader of La Cámpora Máximo Kirchner responded to the cegetistas: “The challenge ahead is not to see who has a place on the lists and when they have to see voting against the vulture funds they do not appear.”

“Our workers, apart from their peers, also need a fixed sum to get them out of the suffocation to which their families are subjected,” said the leader of La Cámpora regarding wages and inflation. Also, looking ahead to 2023 Kirchner said that “we cannot afford sadness, there has to be hope.” “This square shows that we will be able to move forward and offer Argentine society in 2023 a country project that really interprets it, contains it,” he said. The social movements held their “Cabildo Abierto” at the stadium of the Laferrere club, in La Matanza. “Our most important favor to this political process is to encourage community organization and raise our voices so that our government finds today, already in time of discount, the response that the people need,” said Daniel Menéndez, leader of Somos Barrios de Pie. For his part, Juan Carlos Alderete, National Deputy and leader of the Class and Combative Current (CCC) said that “inflation eats wages and hunger and poverty grow.” This morning, despite not participating in the main events, President Alberto Fernández, who did not participate in any of the main events, inaugurated the new section of the Ezeiza-Cañuelas highway, Route 205, in that municipality and was accompanied by the governor of the province of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof, and the ministers of Economy, Sergio Massa, and Public Works, Gabriel Katopodis. “Better than saying is doing; better than promising is to carry out,” said the president and in that sense explained that “in Argentina today there are 5,300 public works in execution that reach every corner of the country and that do not distinguish ideologies or governments.” He also mentioned other works that are being carried out such as “the train that is linking cities and towns and the 140,000 homes that are in execution.”
