The mobilization also functioned as a meeting point and support for the struggles that are already facing the chainsaw.

The day made it clear that the anger is real, it exists and was massive. The participation of those more than 70.000 almas, among thousands of workers, along with the image of a full Plaza de Mayo, It is the palpable demonstration that there is the social force necessary to defeat Milei. Once again, It became evident that it is the old union and bureaucratic leaderships that look the other way and do nothing to stop it..
further, The success of the call demonstrated the success of having promoted this unitary action from the left, of which we were an active part from the MST in the Left Front. Our leaders and references were present at the mobilization, such asCele Fierro (MST elected representative) YAlejandro Bodart(national leader of the MST in the FIT-U), together with the national deputiesMyriam Bregman, Nicolás Del Caño, Christian Castillo(provincial deputy of Buenos Aires) and other representatives of the other parties of the Unity Left Front. They were also present, Vilma Ripoll, Norma Lezana (general secretary of the APyT of the Garrahan Hospital), Ana Paredes Landman (elected representative of the province of Buenos Aires), Ingrid Urrutia (general secretary of the Internal Board of ATE INCAA) YGuillermo Pacagnini (national leader of ANCLA-MST).
In this sense, as he said Alejandro Bodart at the end of the march, “We achieved a historic day, because from the left we did what traditional and bureaucratic leaderships do not do. We united more than four hundred organizations in the streets throughout the country and it was shown that there is social force to defeat Milei“. The dimension of the claim was truly federal, with images of large marches of tens of thousands of people throughout the country.
Looking ahead to what's coming, The mobilization outlined an immediate agenda with two central tasks. First, continue deepening the mobilization to stop the adjustment, preparing from now on a huge action in front of Congress to reject the budget that the government is cooking together with its accomplices, and redoubling the demand for a general strike. Secondly, The great challenge of this new stage is to politically organize all this social force outside the old political structures that have already failed., to shape and strengthen a new alternative built from the left.
