CGT Labour Confederation boss Hugo Moyano, and CTA umbrella union leader Pablo Micheli announced today a downtown march against the national government on Wednesday.
Both unionists explained the march is the result of the lack of responses the government shown after the past November 20 national strike in which unions demanded better salary conditions, a restructure of the income tax floors and the reactivation of the national industry.
In company of Micheli and Moyano, was Argentine Agrarian Federation head Eduardo Buzzi who confirmed the presence of farmers for Wednesday’s rally.
“We call for a march since the national government has not listened to any of the people’s demands made on November 20. Furthermore, the very same President Cristina Fernández disqualified both us and the claims we made”, said Micheli.
«The President called us thugs in what was a clear violent comment. We were only defending the workers’ rights,» Micheli remarked.
