A sector of the CGT led by the trucker leader Pablo Moyano, the CTA of Hugo Yasky and the Trade Union Front for the National Model carried out a torchlight march to remember Eva Perón 70 years after her death and expressed their support for President Alberto Fernández , Vice President Cristina Kirchner and her repudiation of “the anti-homeland who want to destabilize the Government.”
The march, which had a strong call, began around 6:00 p.m. near Independencia and 9 de Julio avenues and went to the Ministry of Social Developmentwhere formerly The historic Ministry of Public Works used to function and on whose sides there are gigantic images of Eva Perón.
At the demonstration, where attendees carried torches and candles that remained lit for almost the entire ceremony, there were militants from CGT and CTA unions, such as Truckers, ATE (state) and Smata (mechanics).
There were also militants from organizations and parties such as Miles, La Germán, the National and Popular Transversal Front, United and Organized, Federation of Land, Housing and Habitat, MTL, Martin Fierro National Current, Popular Liberation, Peronist Social Front and Communist Party, among others.
With the sun going down, around 6:30 p.m., the first torches and candles of the traditional march in tribute to Evita began to light up, after two years without being held due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Hugo Yasky said that “those who have the power to highlight food will not succeed. Eva is present. Long live the unity, long live the fight.”
Before the crowd, from a stage, Pablo Moyano was in charge of “celebrating the unity that we are having in the street.”
“This is not a march against the government, it is a march defending the president and the vice president,” said the deputy of the Truckers’ Union and co-head of the CGT.
Moyano warned that “the anti-country are those who want to destabilize the government to come with the labor reform.”
“Here are those of us who confront macrismo and those of us who are going to defend the government,” said Moyano, who ratified: “On August 17 we mobilized throughout the country; they did not run us from the left or from the right and we are going to show what It is the organized labor movement.
