The trade union organization announced in a press release that hundreds of citizens have been expelled from their workplaces in the last few days, while the Executive refuses to agree on salary increases in the joint negotiations, announced the closure of the Haroldo Conti Cultural Center in the former Navy School of Mechanics and is dismantling truth and justice policies.

ATE General Secretary Rodolfo Aguiar said, “2025 will be another year of strong conflict in the State. The Government continues to destroy salaries and jobs. Assemblies will have to be held nationwide, and if there are no responses to the most significant demands, we will have to think about a new measure of violence with national scope.”

He added, “They are attacking human rights policies because they are negationists and want to legitimize the atrocious crimes of the last civil-military dictatorship (1976-1983). Faced with this, we must avoid closure and defend all memory spaces.”

Aguiar, in turn, called on the Government to set a date to give continuity to this week’s salary negotiations.
