On the occasion of the visit of the WFTU’s delegation to Argentina, headed by the General Secretary, c. Pambis Kyritsis, and in the presence of c. Ernesto Quiqui Trigo, member of the WFTU Secretariat, meetings were held with the leaderships of the Federation’s affiliated trade unions, as well as with workers of the country.
During the meetings and the various visits and activities, it was made clear that Argentina consists another example of a reactionary setback for the democratic and trade union rights, due to the policies of the newly-elected neofascist government.
For the WFTU it is also clear that the international class-oriented trade union movement will keep standing in solidarity with the struggling workers of Argentina, and with the workers all around the world who struggle for dignity and against authoritarianist and ultra-neoliberal policies and measures.
As the General Secretary reaffirmed:
“The WFTU stands with the Argentine workers and the trade union movement of the country, denouncing the privatization of state entities, erosion of labor rights, and the overall neoliberal agenda and condemns the neo-fascist policies of the Milei government in Argentina…
… In the global geopolitical balances that are taking shape, we must promote, defend, and advance the class interests of workers for global economic and political relations based on solidarity and equality, respect for the right to choose the path of development, the reduction and elimination of the economic and social gap between rich and poor.”
