ATE’s harsh statement against Milei’s DNU: “Democracy is at risk”

After a judicial injunction was filed against the Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU) presented by Javier Milei, the secretary general of ATE, Rodolfo Aguiar, made it clear that “what is at risk is Democracy”. In addition, he said that the DNU “destroys everyone’s rights” and that “it was drafted by four or five businessmen.” “The economic concentration and power of big national business is so high that now they are even trying to legislate through the president,” he added. Then, he explained that “it was clear that the extremes that justify the issuance of a decree of this nature are not met. There is no need or urgency to try to repeal and modify more than 300 laws,” and added: “The only urgency is to deepen the economic concentration of large companies, transferring resources from workers, retirees and popular sectors, and the need is for Milei to please his constituents.” During the day of Saturday, the Justice admitted to deal with the amparo presented by the Observatory for the Right to the City, the Autonomous CTA, Institute of Thought and Public Policies and the Movement The City We Are Those Who Inhabit it to suspend the effects of the Decree of Necessity and Urgency, because they consider it unconstitutional and undemocratic. The case is filed in the Federal Administrative Court No. 2 in charge of Dr. Esteban Carlos Furnari.
