ATE prepares a protest and road blockades to repudiate the presence of Javier Milei in Bariloche

The Association of State Workers (ATE) announced that next Friday it will hold a large protest and block roads in the province of Río Negro with the aim of preventing the arrival of President Javier Milei at the Llao Llao Hotel and repudiating his presence in the city of Bariloche Empresarial.Se. the country’s largest businessmen at the exclusive hotel located on the shores of Lake Nahuel Huapi. The meeting will be attended by, among others, Marcos Galperin (Mercado Libre); Marcos Bulgheroni (PAE); Agustín Otero Monsegur and Carlos Miguens (San Miguel citrus grower); Federico Braun (La Anónima); Martín Migoya and Guibert Englebienne (Globant); Karina Román (Román Logistics); Sebastián Bagó (Laboratorios Bagó), and Verónica Andreani (Andreani).” The president has to know that in our province he is persona non grata, and we have to prove it to him,” said the secretary general of the union, Rodolfo Aguiar, and recalled that due to the adjustment applied to the public sector “more than 20% of the purchasing power of state personnel was lost during the months that the national government has been in office.” We have lost more purchasing power over the past four months than in the previous eight years. The cuts in salaries and pensions are brutal,” denounced ATE, which is why for weeks the representatives of state workers began a plan of struggle against the government’s austerity policy. In addition, Milei’s government program repeals the Land Law and aims to deepen the handing over of Patagonia to foreign powers. On the day of his arrival, all roads in Bariloche should be cut off,” Aguiar said. And he warned that “the president is only interested in talking with businessmen like those who are going to be in Bariloche,” whom he described as “planners with tax exemptions and violators of labor laws who have fled to Uruguay, owners of energy companies enriched by the increase in rates, heirs of supermarkets guilty of inflation in Argentina and CEOs of laboratories, scourges that profit from retirees.”
