In the midst of the protest that forced flights to be rescheduled this Monday, the union intransigence made a violent threat to the senators . The head of the Aeronautical Personnel Association (APA), Edgardo Llanos , said that each of the senators who vote in favor of the Bases Law will be “ scratched” when he boards an Aerolíneas Argentinas plane. “We are going to explain to the passengers every time one of these senators travels that they are betraying the popular mandates ,” said the unionist in the middle of the assembly held by the workers at the Jorge Newbery Metropolitan Airport, where they oppose the privatization of the flag airline.
The unions grouped in the CATT (Argentine Confederation of Transport Workers) held a protest this Monday between 8 and 11 in the morning against the sanction of the Bases Law and the restitution of the Income Tax for the fourth category. Several flights had to be rescheduled due to these measures that affect cargo, air, commercial, maritime and port transportation, although they do not have the support of the unions that group bus drivers or railway drivers. In the subways, turnstiles were released in several of the main stations of the different lines that circulate in the metropolitan area.
The protest occurs just four days after the general strike called by the General Confederation of Labor (CGT). Greater accession is planned for Thursday since no buses or trains will circulate.

The general secretary of APTA (Aeronautical Technical Personnel Association) , Ricardo Cirielli, had also been very critical of the legislators who voted in favor of the sanction of the Bases Law promoted by Javier Milei's government. “ They played a double game with the DNU, they have annulled the air trade policy law , 19,030, the points that forced the national State to finance the Argentine flag line, they opened the skies in the nine freedoms of the air, which which means that Chilean planes can come with Chilean registration and Chilean crew, in such a way that neither Aerolíneas nor any other national company will be viable and there is an astonishing silence from everyone,” he stated.
“Of the 109 deputies who voted against, only 2, a Chaco native and Julia Strada defended Aerolíneas.” They delivered it to Chile, Ecuador and next week it will be to Peru, the Argentine skies, she explained.
“ There is a claim that is repetitive, which is to defend Aerolíneas Argentinas. Because the policy that Milei is applying is the same one that Menem applied. Airlines has already been privatized twice, both privatizations failed and it will fail again ,” explained the leader.
He also maintained: “ We are asking the senators to be aware that we must defend the communication that exists with the provinces and with all the needs that exist in the interior of the country. And we are telling the radical bloc that they betrayed their ideals by supporting the Bases Law .”
“We are going to do everything possible to defend Aerolíneas Argentinas, so that they understand that this Government is emptying the country. Opening the skies in the aeronautical part is like opening imports, because foreign companies are going to come and take the passengers and the dollars ,” he concluded.
Another of the union members who spoke about the day in which assemblies are held in the workplace was Pablo Moyano, deputy secretary of the CGT and one of the Truckers' representatives. " We are holding assemblies that the Argentine Confederation of Transport Workers (CATT) has called in all its modalities in Aeroparque, in the ports, taxi drivers, many buses, some railway lines and, of course, truckers," he said in dialogue. with the LN+ channel.
And he added: “ It is in rejection of the attempt to carry out the labor reform in the Senate, where the workers are once again the adjustment, through the implementation of the income tax again, of eliminating compensation, in rejection of privatizing Airlines Argentinas and AySA. Reject the retirement moratorium, where many will have to increase the age to be able to collect the pittance of retirements .”
For his part, he also made reference to the national strike called for next Thursday, May 9. “There are many facts that are in the Omnibus law that are rejected by a large part of the CGT and the Argentine people. It is no coincidence that the mobilizations are increasingly forceful, more massive and on Thursday we will see a very forceful national strike ,” Moyano said.
