Leaders and militants of the Federal Workers’ Current (CFT) held in the CGT a tribute act to former president Néstor Kirchnerupon the completion of a new anniversary of his birth, union spokesmen informed Télam.
The meeting took place starting at 9:30 a.m., at the headquarters of the General Confederation of Labor (CGT), located at Azopardo 802, in Buenos Aires.
The CFT is made up of around thirty unions and is led by Sergio Palazzo, head of the Banking Association (AB), and by Héctor Amichetti, general secretary of the Buenos Aires Graphic Federation (FGB).
“Néstor lives permanently in the workers and in the permanent action of the union movement and for all this we will be paying what is deserved in the proper place which is the CGT, the mother house of the workers” he told Télam Amichetti,
“We do this tribute by recognizing in Néstor Kirchner to that man who in a very difficult moment in our history, when everything seemed lost after the social outbreak of 2001, he recovered the faith, hope and trust of the people with concrete and real facts”, recalled the leader.
Former President Kirchner was born in Río Gallegos on February 25, 1950 and died at the age of 60 in El Calafate, Santa Cruz province, on October 27, 2010.
For Amicheti, “it was Néstor Kirchner who, with real events, recovered work and production in Argentina, aiming at the reindustrialization of the country, defending internal consumption, plus the creation of more than five million jobs, reducing debt to the country and fundamentally recovering for the labor movement that essential tool that is the paritarias”.
Former President Kirchner was born in Río Gallegos on February 25, 1950 and died at the age of 60 in El Calafate, Santa Cruz province, on October 27, 2010.
