Elections in the Province of Buenos Aires: a new fraud by the Milei government, the Partido Justicialista (PJ) and other bosses' parties, who are all representatives and servants of big capital and the IMF

The upcoming legislative elections in Buenos Aires are a new fraud against the working class and the masses.
In less than two years of government, Milei, being an absolute minority in Congress, gained full power and passed all the bills he needed to deepen his furious attack on workers, pay the IMF debt and establish Argentina as a US imperialism’s colony. The bosses' politicians of the Partido Justicialista (PJ), the Radical Civic Union (UCR), and the PRO party guaranteed this by granting him a quorum and lending him the MPs he needed, relying on the arch-reactionary mechanisms of the 1953 Constitution. All the bosses' parties, servants of the US embassy, support Milei from Parliament and, in their own governorships, implement his plan in the provinces!

Now, regardless of who wins these elections, those in power are preparing a decisive attack to finally impose labor flexibility and a major blow to workers' wages, while preparing a police protocol, even more aggressive than the one that cracks the heads off the retired every Wednesday.

In the midst of this electoral fraud, the PJ fraudsters in Congress want to pose as "opponents" of Milei by voting crumbs for the retired, the disability sector, Garrahan, or universities… With a few handouts, the Peronist bosses' politicians are trying to curry favor with the people after guaranteeing Milei's monarchical powers, so he can unleash his entire war on the exploited, at the service of the US imperialism.
Peronism is a real scam… Its union bureaucracy have guaranteed thousands of layoffs, surrendered the collective bargaining agreements, and liquidation of “paritarias” (collective wage negociations, NT) with 1% salary "raises" in exchange for maintaining the millions of dollars in social security funds. The bureaucrats of the CGT and CTA (Workers' central unions, NT), including the Kirchnerists Furlán and Pignanelli, are the ones who divided and disorganized all the struggles of workers, students, and the exploited, and have constantly upheld the ferocious attack of the government and the capitalists. The traitors of the union bureaucracy, along with the AEA (Argentine business association, NT) and the IMF, are Milei's true "red circle," protected by the butcher Trump and the Wall Street pirates!

The CGT triumvirate is already openly discussing the "labor reform" with the government... The entire union bureaucracy and Kirchner's Partido Justicialista (PJ) have agreed to finally impose labor flexibilization on the entire working class, as they have been doing with the 60% of workers who were made outsourced by the Peronist government of the Fernándezs-Massa.

If the Partido Justicialista (PJ) or the other IMF parties are voted, Milei, the AEA, and the US imperialism pirates always win!
With Kicillof, Kirchner, and Peronism, Milei can't be stopped. They have all been supporting him.

Therefore, millions of workers and exploited people no longer believe them and will either not go to vote or will spoil their votes, as happened in previous provincial elections where abstention exceeded 50%, as in CABA (Capital City, NT).
This hatred, indignation, and repudiation of large sectors of the masses against the government and the bosses' politicians is absolutely rightful. Their decision to not participate in this electoral fraud is also fair, and we support it as a step toward breaking with the boss parties of this infamous regime.

The great struggles waged by workers since Milei took office were isolated and betrayed by the union bureaucracy in all its forms, because they are all representatives of those who pay them: the bosses of AEA and the transnational corporations and imperialist bankers in Argentina.

There were plenty of opportunities to corner Milei's government. The union bureaucracy prevented this. And now they tell us that the shameless and swindling politicians of Peronism can stop him. Miserable! This is a deception and a smokescreen to blind the workers. The PJ paved the way for Milei to come and finish his job.

The retired were isolated, as were the workers at the Garrahan Children's Hospital in struggle. The same happened to the workers who support disabled children and relatives with a meager state pension. The capitalists gathered their forces and attacked. Not only did Peronism lend its parliamentarians, but also it lent union bureaucracy to establish order and divide the struggles to prevent a Revolutionary General Strike from paving the way for the defeat of the government and the infamous regime, a servant of Wall Street pirates.

The bureaucracy's latest great betrayal is the one of the struggle of the 3,500 workers at Ternium (formerly Siderar) outsourcing companies. There, Brunelli-Furlán's thuggish bureaucrats worked with their shop stewards to separate the permanent workers from the contracted workers, who, through self-organized assemblies, imposed a heroic struggle for a wage increase because no one can live on what they're paid anymore.
The bureaucracy announced to the permanent workers that if they went on strike, they would be fired and the factory would close. They're snitches for the Rocca Group! Snitches and strikebreakers!
The UOM of Villa Constitución threatened the "mother of all battles"… next month. This policy was even supported by members of the Acindar/ArcelorMittal Internal Commission who call themselves leftist, like Míguez of Política Obrera (Workers' Policy).
The Ternium outsourced workers were left fighting alone in one of the key factories for the Argentine proletariat. But the final blow was yet to come; Cristina Kirchner's friend, Furlán, took it upon himself to prevent decisive intervention by the only people who can stop Milei's government and the capitalists: the working class.
