Argentina's trade unions face a war on the working class
ADRIANA PELLA of Argentinian trade union federation CGT speaks to Ben Chacko about leading the resistance to Javier Milei
ARGENTINIAN trade unionist Adriana Pella had never been in England before — but having soaked up the sights and sounds of the Big Meeting, she’ll be back next year “for sure.”
Ms Pella brought greetings to the Durham Miners’ Gala from Argentina’s trade union federation the CGT, and said the mood of friendship and working-class solidarity on the city streets was palpable: “This is incredible, it’s amazing, I’m so honoured to have this opportunity,” she told the Morning Star.
But she had a serious message for British trade unionists, with Argentinians facing a war on the working class led by hard-right President Javier Milei that is as vicious as that waged by Margaret Thatcher against mining communities 40 years ago.
