Based on Télam news agency, the organizations also called for a day of activities to share food and define the slogans they will defend during the protest called by the General Confederation of Labor.

The objective of the strike is to express the rejection of an adjustment plan, an anti-protest protocol, a decree of necessity and urgency (DNU) and a package of laws sent to Congress by the Government.

The DNU, announced by President Javier Milei on December 20th, allows doing away with over 300 regulations, including the laws on rent, supply, land, industrial and commercial promotion, approves the reform of the labor regime, modifies the Civil and commercial Code, and changes the regulatory framework of prepaid medicine and social works.

The package of regulations, whose name is “Bases and Starting Points for the Freedom of Argentines”, establishes emergencies on economy, pension, security, defense, tariff, energy, health, administrative and social issues, up until December 31st, 2025.

The project comprises more than 600 articles, grants legislative powers to the Executive Branch and indicates that it may extend the aforementioned term for two years.

On Monday, the Front of State Unions held a day of struggle against these measures and against the dismissals of workers of the public sector.
