The left and the unions took President Javier Milei’s inauguration speech as a starting point for a discussion, in the face of the shock economic measures promised by the new president. Milei also warned that these changes will particularly impact the most vulnerable.




The leader of the Excluded Workers Movement (MTE) and former candidate of the Union for the Fatherland, Juan Graboiscriticized the speech “Messianic” by Milei with a “historical analysis of the ‘gorilla'” For “justify the shock, the state adjustment, privatizations and layoffs”.

“From now on, expect from us a frontal political and ideological opposition, intellectually honest, but implacable in its principles”Grabois noted on his account on the social network X (formerly Twitter).

Likewise, the social leader admitted: “It is true that Milei marks a turning point that should serve as a reflection for the national, popular, Latin American field, which finds itself in an enormous intellectual, moral and political and gentrified crisis”.

In turn, the head of the União pela Pátria bloc in the Senate, Jose MayansHe particularly criticized the fact that Milei chose to hold his investiture speech on the steps of Congress, in front of the public, and not in front of the deputies: “We expected a greeting, especially from the delegations present (…). We ask for respect for the representation we have, otherwise the Congress will not be able to function”.

The leader of the Classist and Combative Current, Juan Carlos Aldereteindicates that “Milei, in his electoral campaign, said that he would adjust politics, that the caste would pay for the adjustment, that those who work would not suffer “the weight of the changes”. “And the truth is that, if they respect the measures adopted that they are predicting, people will have a hard time, the vast majority will suffer the brutal adjustment that they have prepared”he underlined in statements to the newspaper La Nación.
