Argentinian workers condemn layoffs at National Library

Buenos Aires, Apr 16 (Prensa Latina) The General Secretary of the Argentinian State Workers Association Rodolfo Aguiar urged on Tuesday to defend the Mariano Moreno National Library and to continue the fight against layoffs in the public administration.

On a ceremony at the esplanade of that institution, the union leader, the representative of the association Madres de Plaza de Mayo-Linea Fundadora, Taty Almeida, readers, researchers, cultural referents and human rights fighters expressed their support and also condemned the dismissal of 120 of its members.

On his speech, Aguiar lashed ut at policies by Javier Milei’s Government and its attacks on social struggles.

Instead of paying homage to the fallen in the Malvinas war, they express their admiration for former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher (1925-2013).

Plus, they call for reconciliation with the Armed Forces, lay off 15,000 workers, try to dismantle the Institute against Discrimination, Xenophobia and Racism, the Institute of Cinema and Audiovisual Arts and the Telam news agency. They are defunding the Scientific and Technical Research Council and the public universities, he added.
