After the harsh defeat in the runoff, Peronism began a process of internal reorganization driven by the governors critical of the management of Javier Milei and the blocks of legislators in the Deputies and the Senate, who seek to stop the mega DNU and the Omnibus Law that deregulate the economy and seek to impose profound structural reforms presented.
The deputy of Unión por la Patria Eduardo Valdés said that he proposed to the former president and president of the Justicialista Party, Alberto Fernández, to create “urgently” a “political action commission where all political spaces, all sectors are” because “we are living moments very complex.”

In radio statements, Valdés took the example of the governor of La Rioja, Ricardo Quintela, who presented a precautionary measure against the mega libertarian DNU, and who “is considering talking with many who today are not within the structure of the PJ.”
Quintela had called on Justicialism to “reflect and make an amnesty so that everyone returns to the internal discussion” and “consolidate a broad table to resist.”
“It seems good to me because we are going to have to talk with those same people in the Chamber of Deputies to achieve the 129 votes we need,” Valdés said in this regard. The deputy thus named figures of federal Peronism such as Florencio Randazzo and the former governor of Cordoba Juan Schiaretti, but also “the radicals.”
“The ruling party did everything possible to make us break and we are here with our 102 deputies, which is the strength,” remarked Valdés.
Support for the CGT strike
This week Gabriel Katopodis, Minister of Infrastructure and Public Services of Buenos Aires and former Minister of Public Works under Alberto Fernández, supported the strike that the CGT called for January 24. “There is no other response to the brutal package of measures,” he said of Milei’s reforms, which he compared to those of the last dictatorship. ”It is a program similar to that of Martínez de Hoz,” he added.
“Peronism is going to find its way out by being close to the people,” Katopodis also expressed. The protest announced by the labor union should bring together “the workers who feel” that in the first month of Milei’s management “they lost something they had,” said Katopodis.
According to Eduardo Valdés, the banging of pots and pans that were heard in several neighborhoods of the city of Buenos Aires but also in Córdoba or Tandil when Milei announced his DNU “are from people who voted for Milei” and are disappointed at the drop in purchasing power due to the sudden devaluation, increases in food and fuel prices as well as increases in private medical fees.

The CGT obtained a judicial victory this week when the National Chamber of Labor issued a precautionary measure that suspends the application of the labor chapter of the Milei DNU.
The judicial measure suspended the “applicability” of DNU 70/2023 until a “final ruling on the underlying issue” arises, the unconstitutionality of the measure, as raised by the labor union in the appeal whose presentation was accompanied by a massive union demonstration in front of the Courts.
In that protest, the leader of the Patria Grande group, Juan Grabois, demanded that “the entire leadership” in favor of Peronism put “its face next to the people, because then the body, the blood and the pain come from the workers and the poor.” .
