By PSTU-Argentina The setback of the Omnibus Law and the subsequent scuffle with the governors due to the conflict in Chubut revealed the weakness of Javier Milei’s government in terms of carrying out its plan fully.

Last week, a bill presented by a handful of deputies from Libertad Avanza was made public. It seeks to repeal the law on voluntary abortion (IVE). It is more clear than ever that these politicians are trying to advance the abolition of rights as quickly as possible and by any means they can. Since they […]

Javier Milei won the presidential elections in Argentina by a wide margin, and will be the new President.

Who do we vote for to prepare ourselves for the coming attacks? Massa has “turned the corner,” against all the pollsters’ predictions.

Sergio Massa has run to the IMF to ask for more money and is thus increasingly compromising our sovereignty and our resources for many years to […]

By PSTU-Argentina March 8th: a day made with struggle Beginning on June 3, 2015, we affirmed “Not One More!” (Ni una menos!) with national mobilizations, and ever since we’ve experienced a veritable wave.
