The mobilization is scheduled for 3:30 p.m., with a rally at Congress and a march to Plaza de Mayo. According to the call, union, political, social and cultural organizations from the AMBA and other cities across the country will take part.
Various organizations held a leaflet distribution campaign in downtown Quilmes to promote the so-called March of Anger, a mobilization against Javier Milei’s government called for Saturday, October 19 at 3:30 p.m., with a rally at Congress and a march to Plaza de Mayo.
According to Crónica, the slogan of the call proposes moving forward “on the path of a general strike to defeat Milei, his plan and his accomplices” and brings together more than 200 organizations from the AMBA, including unions, political groups, social organizations and workers’ collectives.
Among the supporting groups, Crónica mentioned Suteba La Matanza, Suteba Tigre, FATE workers, the Sarmiento Railway Delegates’ Body, ATE Garrahan, CICOP Hospital Iriarte de Quilmes, organizations from Florencio Varela and the Hospital Cestino de Ensenada, as well as GPS Aerolíneas, the Picketing Struggle Front, Unidxs por la Cultura and the National Campaign for the Right to Legal, Safe and Free Abortion. It also noted the participation of Pañuelos en Rebeldía, PTS, PO, MST, IS, PSTU, Opinión Socialista, Nuevo MAS, PRC and the Partido Humanista, along with endorsements from cultural figures such as Carlos Belloso, Mirta Busnelli and Katja Alemann.
At the Quilmes event, members of the Myriam Bregman Support Committee, the MST and the PTS took part. According to Crónica, during the day residents left written complaints linked to low wages, repression of retirees and hunger.
In statements cited by Crónica, Carla Villani, a member of the Health and Care Posts, said that “the money is not enough, layoffs are multiplying, tariffs are rising and the Government intends to continue passing the crisis on to the majority,” and called to “turn anger into organization and mobilization.”
ElDiarioAR added that the call was promoted by leaders of the Left Front, including Myriam Bregman and Nicolás del Caño, together with representatives of unions such as ATE, Suteba, the Railway Union and the internal committee of FATE. That outlet also indicated that human rights groups, neighborhood assemblies, student groups, feminist organizations and self-organized retirees joined in.
On the territorial reach, there are differences among the outlets reviewed. Crónica said the initiative will be replicated in more than ten cities in the interior of the country, while ElDiarioAR stated that there will be replicas in more than thirty cities, including Rosario, Córdoba, Mendoza, Santa Fe, Mar del Plata, Bahía Blanca, Neuquén, Jujuy, Salta and Tucumán, as well as Junín, Necochea and Bolívar.
