Buenos Aires – May 9,2024 – Peronist leaders from across Argentina have joined forces to combat the policies of President Javier Milei’s government.The initiative, spearheaded by various legislators and former officials, seeks to create an alternative to the current economic and social destruction they attribute to Milei. The new group aims to challenge the president's policies, offering a different path forward, as they address the nation's challenges.
The presentation text, referred to the president of the Justicialist Party, Cristina Kirchner, quotes a phrase just Nestor Kirchner that says “we know that the market organizes economically, but does not articulate socially; we must make the State give equality where the market excludes and abandons.” With this founding principle, a group was organized that bears the first country. So far it shows the participation of a series of leaders and legislators of the different aspects of Peronism throughout the country, even some who were faced, with the aim of first enabling a space for debate and also militancy to generate an alternative for October (and also for 2027) that together with CFK confronted with the social and economic destruction model that the Government of Javier Milei carries out.
The group can be considered federal to see that there are dirgentes and legislators, national and provincial, of almost all provinces. There are some who were in the governments of the Front for Victory and then joined other Peronist experiences. Others who even were part of the government of Alberto Fernández and gusted, but since everyone did not abandon Peronism. The space, says the Document of the Fatherland, seeks to “build an effective federal unit, capable of facing with determination the neoliberal and exclusive policies of the current government.”
Moreover, in the presentation document they affirm that it aims to “offer the people a clear and forceful program that guarantees concrete responses to social exclusion, labor precariousness and inequality in the distribution of wealth.” All that to be able to “display at the same time a balanced productive and social development throughout the territory.”
“We are not only united by the horror of the policies carried out by Milei,” says Nicolás Trotta who knew how to be Minister of Education of the previous Government. The current president of the Academic Council of the Metropolitan University for Education and Labor (UMET) affirms that the new group seeks to defend federalism and join to elaborate among all these sectors an alternative proposal “that has the strength and ability to respond to the needs of society and thus recover lost trust.”
Trotta argues that in the different sectors affected by Milei’s economic model there is dissatisfaction because the quality of life has fallen, inequality shot. So, the logical thing would be that this discomfort be channeled by a political force that could well be the PJ to transform reality. This is achieved, he maintains, generating a serious debate between the sectors of Peronism to “generate a call that recovers the disappointed” with the PJ in particular and politics in general.
In that line, the document that first issued the homeland where it maintains that it is necessary to “tend bridges with all sectors and open spaces for dialogue and citizen participation is expressed, emphasizing the leadership renewal without ignoring the representativeness of each sector and the leaderships that have forged our party identity.”
Pablo Kosiner, a Peronist of Salta who knew how to be a national deputy, is another of the members who joined the country first. He affirms that it is necessary to guarantee the unity of Peronism, even beyond the current situation. He warns, of course, that the unit promoted by this group does not end in the limits of the PJ: “You have to summon all sectors,” he says.
Kosiner also warns that it is essential to give the interns a cut because an alternative must be given, to those who suffer the model. “Almost two years ago, a hospital, a school and the routes and roads are destroyed, all this is the Milei government,” he says and points out that we must end that the president is simple madness because not only is not true, but “everything is ideologically and strategically planned where they seek to demobilize society. Here nothing is a coincidence,” he explains.
From Paraná, the UXP National Deputy Osuna emphasizes that first the country is the result of a series of conversations that had been developing between legislators and leaders of the PJ of a large number of provinces. “The important thing is that here we are representing most of the internal currents of Peronism. We work to make a front that goes beyond the PJ,” he says and emphasizes that it is necessary to “recover the confidence of our people.” Like other leaders, he points out that although the internal ones are not bad in themselves, this is not the time because “unusual is the prelude to a defeat that for the country implies that Milei will advance in greater destruction.”
