"It serves us": The National Government downplayed the impact of the CGT march for Labor Day.

In response to the General Confederation of Labor (CGT) and other union and leftist organizations' May Day demonstration, thenational government attempted to downplay the impact of the march, asserting that " they benefit from this type of forceful action ." This was the union's second march in less than a month.

The union marched to protest the public sector adjustments, wage negotiations not aligned with inflation, and the agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), in addition to demanding salary and pension improvements. However, the Casa Rosada government considered that this march " did not have a counterproductive effect on President Javier Milei's image ."

In this regard, an official close to the president spoke with Infobae and stated: " It's just another march; we don't care about the slogans they have against us. In fact, it benefits us to have them in front of us ." The demonstration was supported by the Autonomous Argentine Workers' Central (CTA-A) and the Argentine Workers' Central (CTA-T), the Union of Workers of the Popular Economy (UTEP), the Workers' Pole , and the Left Front-Unity groups.

The groups marched under the slogan "Work is sacred" and demanded that the government resume standardizing collective bargaining agreements above inflation, which soared in February and March. " They keep doing the same thing and still don't understand that people hate them . They're marching today and don't realize that people no longer want trouble in the streets," said another official who spoke daily with the president before the march began.

In parallel with the march, President Javier Milei toured Villa Lugano with his spokesperson and candidate for Buenos Aires City legislator, Manuel Adorni, and they ended up at a campaign event ahead of the Buenos Aires City elections. In the pamphlets they handed out to the libertarian protesters, La Libertad Avanza asserted that the government " managed to end 20 years of pickets and caste-based schemes, lower inflation, and bring stability ."
