La Cámpora joins combative unionism against labor reform

La Cámpora, the political group led by Máximo Kirchner, has joined forces with combative unionism to march together this Friday against the government's proposed labor reform. Prior to the protest at Congress, Kirchner met with Rodolfo Aguiar from ATE to coordinate efforts. They agreed on a joint scheme of opposition both on the streets and in parliament against Javier Milei's policies.

In a show of oppositional unity, La Cámpora has aligned with combative unionism ahead of the mobilization scheduled for this Friday. The protest focuses on rejecting the labor reform pushed by President Javier Milei.

The key meeting took place just before the demonstration at the National Congress. Máximo Kirchner, a leader of La Cámpora, met with Rodolfo Aguiar, general secretary of the State Workers' Association (ATE). During the encounter, they agreed to set up a coordination scheme between political and union sectors.

This agreement aims to challenge the government's initiatives both on the streets and in the legislative arena. The joint action represents an effort to amplify resistance to Milei's economic and labor measures, as outlined in reports preceding the march.
