The Trade Union International of Metal and Mining (TUI M&M) expresses its solidarity with the Argentinian people, especially with the retirees who were brutally repressed by Javier Milei’s police last Wednesday.
The military offensive against thousands of retirees who were peacefully protesting against pension cuts demonstrates the authoritarianism of the Argentinian president, exposing the contradiction between his discourse of freedom and his authoritarian policies. The protests were supported by social movements and organized fan groups from different Argentinian soccer teams, highlighting the unity of the people against the harmful neo-liberal agenda proposed by Milei since the beginning of his government.
The police used tear gas, water canons, and rubber bullets against the demonstrators – many of them over 70 years old – who were demanding pension increases, access to medication, and the maintenance of the pension moratorium. As an organization dedicated to defending workers, we strongly condemn any and all repressive actions against workers worldwide.
We will continue marching against the neo-liberal agenda that is spreading across the world and in unwavering defense of the rights of the retirees and workers.
Workers of the world, unite against fascism!
