Nationwide Strike Disrupts Argentina as Unions Protest President Milei's Policies

The 24-hour strike, a reaction to austerity measures and deregulation, has halted major transport and public services across Argentina.

  • Unions, backed by the CGT, protest against Milei's economic reforms, which include public sector job cuts and privatization.
  • The strike has led to the cancellation of hundreds of flights and the closure of schools and businesses, affecting millions.
  • This marks the second major strike since Milei's administration began in December, highlighting ongoing national unrest.
  • Government and union leaders depict the strike differently, with accusations of political motivations on both sides.
  • Milei's policies, including a controversial omnibus bill, face fierce opposition in the Senate after passing the lower house.
