As is public knowledge, Argentina democratically elected its new president during the month of November. On December 10, Mr. Javier Milei, known for his ultra-right speech, took office as president.

18 days have passed since his mandate started and his anti-worker and reactionary measures are beginning to emerge.

A few days ago, through a “Decree of Necessity and Urgency”, he repealed around 300 laws that protect workers and the environment, prohibiting strikes and applying violent measures against those who participate in them. 300 laws that prevented us from being enslaved at work.

This measure is totally illegitimate and unconstitutional, Mr. President is completely ignoring the division of powers and the Congress.

But that's not all because yesterday, he presented another project, in which he establishes that it will not be possible for more than three people to meet on the street and that we will be monitored on social networks.

The monitoring, in these 18 days, was normal because during the protests that took place against these measures, people were persecuted, threatened, recorded and arrested.

Thousands of people have been fired from their jobs, thousands are going to be left on the streets, they are going to sell our natural resources to foreign capitals so that they can exploit them without caring about the socio-environmental consequences, there is a lot at stake for the Argentine people.

I can share the documents with you in case you want to read them to know how the measures negatively affect the environment and the population.
