CGT labour confederation leader Hugo Moyano ratified his allegiance to Cristina Fernández de Kirchner’s government after her astounding reelection, although he warned that the umbrella organization “would not stop asking for what belongs to them.”
“We will continue to support the President,” he said, a day after the celebrations after the Plaza de Mayo, which strangely didn’t include him.
He also said that the election results “evidenced that people wanted this change, and that old policies no longer work in this country.”
While speaking at a local radio show, Moyano said Fernández de Kirchner’s reelection was “a new history being written in Argentina,” and considered that “those who insisted on that same old story, saying that things couldn’t be changed, are the ones being defeated today.”
He then recalled the huge role that his organization played during the 2008 conflict, when he came out in support of the President when a large percentage of the population seemed to be against her.
“We’re the ones who stood by the Government; because I’m not sure how things would have ended had the pot bangers from Recoleta taken over the Plaza de Mayo,” he indicated.
