On X social media, Alberto Fernández assured that guaranteeing these four aspects is a duty “in this difficult time the world is going through”.

Loyal to our people, we must preserve unity to confront with those who want to put an end to the rights of the ones who work, to put an end to public health, education and to scientific and technological development, he added.

Fernández made the statement from China, where he is attending the 3rd Forum of the Belt and Road for International Cooperation. During the meeting, he met with Dilma Rousseff, with whom he opened the process of Brazil´s accession to BRICS.

On October 17, 1945, a mass mobilization managed to reach the release of the then Vice-President, Minister of War and Minister of Labor and Social Security, Juan Domingo Perón (1895-1974), arrested days earlier by the military regime.

That date is considered the birth of Peronism and one of the most important moments in the history of the Argentine labor movement.
