Due to polarization, Massa lost votes because of his half-measures, but the FIT, by being the left-pole opposition to Macri, and more to the left than Cristina [Kirchner], increased its votes. It channeled the votes of the Nuevo Mas and MST, and also part of Kirchneristas\u2019 votes that opened their eyes regarding the role of unions and before Santiago Maldonado\u2019s appearance.<\/em>
\nBy PSTU – Argentina<\/strong>
\n 
\nThe FIT got 1.2 million votes across the country. This means an important growth regarding the PASO [primaries]. Nicol\u00e1s del Ca\u00f1o [PTS] and Romina del Pla [PO] reached the Congress with 5.33% in Buenos Aires, together with Nathalia Gonz\u00e1lez Seligra [PTS] who is already in the Congress. Guillermo Kane [PO] was ellected legislator for the Third Electoral Section. The FIT also got two spots in the Buenos Aires City Council, for Myriam Bergman [PTS] and Gabriel Solano [PO].
\nIn Jujuy, the worker Alejandro Vilca [PTS] got over 18% entering the Province Council, together with 3 more deputies and 5 Councillors including the city and the countryside.
\nIn Neuqu\u00e9n City, Patricia Jure [PO] was elected to the Deliberative Council. In Salta, Claudio del Pla [PO] was elected deputy for the province, together with two Councillors.<\/p>\n

A necessary debate<\/strong><\/h6>\n

From the PSTU, we applaud this results, because we were part of the giant militant effort that it meant to fight against all bosses\u2019 alternatives. Unlike Cambiemos, 1Pais, or the UC, the FIT is not supported by private companies, it relies on the militancy of those that supported the list.
\nWe think that to achieve parliamentary spots is an important step forward, but as we have said before, this elected candidates will only serve the struggles and to confront Macri and the Congress full of corrupt ones if the PO, the PTS, and IS [Izquierda Socialista] correct their policy. The campaign of the main FIT parties was focused in asking for the vote, promising that with more deputies we would solve the workers\u2019 problems. In Nicol\u00e1s del Ca\u00f1o\u2019s words: “We want more FIT deputies to impose a favorable solution to the working people\u2019s demands and needs.\u201d<\/em> We think that this is wrong, as we have expressed in previous articles.
\nThe deputies and councilors of the FIT have the obligation of denouncing the Congress and Deliberative Councils as what they are: a cave for the corrupt ones. The Parliament is one more tentacle of the Bourgeois State, not a workers\u2019 organization, and nothing good can come out of it. Our duty is to denounce it for what it is, and to present Bill Projects opposed to the bourgeois parties\u2019. Before the workers\u2019 and people\u2019s trust in the Congress, the PO, the PTS, and IS have the obligation of explaining that it\u2019s wrong, and to dissolve such trust through this explanation and permanent denounces, while strengthening the confidence in struggles and an independent workers\u2019 organization. They cannot vote a Bill Project of the PRO once again like they did with the 2×1<\/em>.[1]<\/a>
\nBefore the need of building an alternative in the struggles to defeat Macri, the FIT must end its sectarian position before thousands of honest activists who call themselves Kirchneristas<\/em> and Peronistas<\/em>. Behind this sectarianism, there is electoral opportunism. They do not want to mobilize the workers organized in the CGT, like it was on March 7th, but they vote with the PRO and the Kircherismo<\/em> in the Congres\u2026
\nIt is not enough to gather the activism that follows the left parties \u2013something they were not even capable of doing- but we need to face the construction of a United Workers\u2019 Front with all those working organizations, be them Peronistas, Kirchneristas<\/em>, etc., who are willing to organize to confront Macri\u2019s government. We need the broadest unity of all those who want to confront the government\u2019s anti-popular and repressive measures. It is like this that we will forge the construction of a truly revolutionary alternative that fights for a workers\u2019 and people\u2019s government.
