I can't believe that after 6 years without strikes at the start of the school year, now with Kicillof, this is happening again. Today, everything in Buenos Aires came to a halt, 5 million students without classes due to the teachers' strike. The unions rejected a salary increase they considered insufficient, so well, here we are again.



The interesting thing is that Suteba, which has always been an ally of Kicillof, also joined the national strike called by CTERA. Sonia Alesso, the general secretary, was very clear: a teacher with two positions loses more than 300,000 pesos a month, and if you add the accumulated debt since Milei took office, we're talking about almost 5 million pesos. That’s brutal. Sonia Pepe, as some call her, has been on the front line demanding that wage negotiations be convened, but nothing. The national government owes 22.2 trillion pesos to the province, so Kicillof says he can't reach an agreement.

It’s not just Buenos Aires; there are strikes in 14 other provinces. Sonia Pepe and the unions organized marches to Congress to make the gravity of the situation understood. Look, teachers have been protesting all last year with mobilizations and strikes, but it seems it’s only now becoming visible. How do you see this? How long can they hold on like this?
