After meeting with the Pope, one of the CGT leaders warned that they could call for a strike if the government does not open a dialogue.

Cristian Jerónimo, a co-leader of the General Confederation of Labor (CGT), announced that the labor union is considering industrial action against the Argentine government. The warning followed a meeting between union representatives and the Pope, with Jerónimo citing a lack of government dialogue and the ongoing deterioration of employment conditions as the primary drivers for the potential protest.

The CGT has indicated that a formal measure of force remains a possibility if the administration does not establish a channel for negotiation. The union’s stance reflects rising tensions between organized labor and the government regarding current economic and labor policies.
