Argentina: Facing the crisis, a background program and a FIT-U that convenes and disputes

The arrival of Sergio Massa to the superminister of Economy, it only aggravated the conservative turn of the government. Orthodox recipes were announced to once again hit the salaries and incomes of the popular sectors. Relations with the United States are also strengthened, as seen in the meeting of the new government leader with Ambassador Mark Stanley. A whole combo that catalyzes the economic and social crisis. We must impose a solution in favor of the social majorities and for that we must strengthen the FIT-Unidad and the MST as tools of the workers..

Writes: Nicolás Zuttion

After the approval of the agreement with the IMF, Argentina did not stop deepening its crisis day by day. The catastrophic forecasts that were outlined from the government plants about an alleged debacle of the country if the new agreement with the Fund was not signed appeared all together, but with the same organization monitoring our economy. Since the resignation of Martín Guzmán everything got worse. The critical state of reserves, the exchange runs that occur, inflation that does not stop and threatens to exceed the 80 % in the year is combined with a political crisis in the heights.

To suture this deep wound, the Frente de Todos decided to spend its "last bullet", place Sergio Massa at the center of the scene with a function that almost places him as the new presidential figure, displacing Alberto Fernández. What many indicate as the government's "last chance", It occurs with the consolidation of a turn to the right on its part and that only aims to please "the markets.". A turn to the right defended by the main shareholders of the coalition, including Cristina Fernández de Kirchner herself.

Thus the arrival of Massa, with an orthodox project and adjuster under the arm as indicated by its announced measurements, which among other things reveal more adjustments and rates, completely fails to comply with what was promised by the Frente de Todos in 2019. The electoral promises of that time have been scattered only in memory, since the macrista inheritance not only did not leave, but it deepens. The fact that more than 40% of the population lives below poverty reaffirms this.

Given this state of situation, the streets begin to heat up. Social organizations and picketers remain in the fight against their stigmatization and against the precariousness of life. Sectors of workers such as SUTNA and teachers are also beginning to join.. The national strike started at CTERA reflects that the anger from below is beginning to put pressure to start saying enough to a political order that defends business profits, of the 1% in the midst of a very deep crisis. What if, We must move against this model to build one that is designed in favor of the majorities and with anti-capitalist and socialist bases..

The exit is on the left

The right-wing opposition of Together for Change and the Milei and Espert sector, They never tire of wanting to impose a government plan that subjugates and attacks those who live from their work.. Both, It is a truism that the refusal to achieve something different from the Frente de Todos or, rather, from Peronism. It is the facts that tire of demonstrating that there is no possibility of changing from within what is no longer fixed and is turning to the right..

In the same way, The bureaucratic leadership of the union centers functions as a fragmenter of the ongoing unrest, also being a barrier to face the government adjustment. The action called for 17 August is a sample of what has been said, far from demanding parity so that the salary beats inflation, They come out in support of the Frente de Todos.

While this happens with the traditional forces of the political regime, Only the left is the one that remains in the street facing the ongoing adjustment that the government applies to please the IMF. Today the left, with the FIT – Unit at the head, It is the only political force that proposes a program of rupture, anti-capitalist and socialist, that ends external submission and develops ongoing social struggles.

It is through this way that workers, The youth and other oppressed sectors are going to find a way to put a stop to it and defeat this capitalism managed by the governments that have succeeded each other.. The left is the political force to disrupt the economic plans that deepen hunger, inequality and dependency. It's time to make everyone leave, let it be time for another political project, one of a kind. An orientation where those who decide everything are the great majority. It is within this framework that we also encourage the departure of all those who brought us to this disaster., and against an undemocratic regime where only two or three people decide everything, We promote the fight to convene a free and sovereign Constituent Assembly where the people democratically decide, above all, major national issues..

Strengthen the MST in the FIT-Unidad

The anti-capitalist and socialist left with the FIT-Unidad, is the one who starts from having the opportunity to apply to fight for the proposed and possible fundamental exit. What starts by breaking with the IMF, not pay debt scam, nationalize banking and foreign trade, end the privatized, and get out of the extractivist model that loots and pollutes.

Against the politics of resignation, the acceptance of dependence on the Fund and the inexorable adjustment, From the MST in the FIT-Unidad we understand that there is another path, one that opens the way to socialist and revolutionary changes. That is why the need and urgency to face the adjustment and defend essential social and labor rights, we understand that they have to go hand in hand with strengthening this political tool of unity of the left..
That's why, from the MST and as part of the FIT-Unidad, we have the responsibility to propose changes to improve our own front, so that based on our program we go out to call thousands of workers and young people disappointed with the Peronist government, and to social and intellectual leaders who want to strengthen a left-wing alternative, to join and be part of this political construction. From the unity achieved we have to strengthen the application and arrival of millions of workers and young people. It is an obligation for us to get out of the mere plane of electoral agreements, to advance much further, convert the FIT-U into a force for greater political intervention in all areas, where agreements are prioritized, debates persist inside, and abandon any halo of sectarianism that delays and narrows our opportunities.

Promote these proposals and initiatives, in the midst of the existing political crisis, It is the way to strengthen ourselves so that once and for all we are the workers who can have a greater and more solid tool to dispute power.. Hence the need to strengthen the MST within the FIT-U so that these ideas and political battles, move forward and gain more ground.
