So\u2026 to dilute the workers\u2019 wage, which already lost 20% of its purchasing power, with a raising inflation rate, increasing misery, unemployment, etc.<br \/>\nIs it that Alberto and Cristina think that Macri will do something different than what he has been doing so far to \u201cease the situation\u201d of workers and the people? Without a doubt, the elected President and Vice-President want Macri to deal with the necessary anti-popular measures until the end of the year. Kicillof, elected Governor of Buenos Aires, already stated, in the euphoria of the end of campaign, that the government is leaving the land \u201ccrushed.\u201d So, a \u201cheavy inheritance\u201d that they will want us, workers, to pay (as so far).<br \/>\n<strong>\u201cA hand shake\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\nMacri, in his farewell speech, announced he will organize a \u201cserious and democratic\u201d opposition. While Fernandez, after interviewing with the current president, with coffee and everything, \u201csincerely\u201d thanked for \u201cthe President\u2019s disposal to carry out an ordered transition.\u201d The photo of the hand shake makes part of the messages of calm \u201cto the market,\u201d which does not change at all the suffocating situation in popular homes. In this next 40 days of \u201ctransition\u201d the inflation will continue to destroy the purchasing power of our wages. According to economic analysts, in December there will be another leap in the inflation rate, sinking workers down even more. Meanwhile, the businessmen take advantage of the situation to continue adjusting and blackmailing with layoffs, suspensions, \u201cvoluntary retirement\u201d and closure of companies, with the complicity of the CGT-CTA and most union leaders that shine for their silence.<br \/>\n<strong>\u201cWe returned one night, and we will be better now\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\nWe still cannot see where will \u201cthe money to put in workers\u2019 pockets\u201d will come from \u2013 to honor Alberto\u2019s campaign slogan. But, as things are going now, it will surely not compensate the loss of purchasing power and an annual inflation of about 60%. Thus, all of them \u2013 union and social leaders, future government, businessmen, Church and politicians from the opposition are preparing for a new \u201csocial contract,\u201d a \u201cprices and wages agreement,\u201d a \u201csocial pact,\u201d as the bosses say. Of course\u2026 after re-adapting all the prices (which they will continue to do) leaving the businessmen profits intact and naturalizing and legalizing the workers\u2019 and popular losses \u2013 \u201cbecause of the strong Macrista inheritance,\u201d they will say.<br \/>\nWorkers must reject this tricky \u201ctransition\u201d which increases misery and legalizes the blows we are already suffering. Because the attacks continue, like closure of factories, layoffs and suspensions show. As well as the attack on our living conditions, the deaths for clandestine abortion, the happy-trigger policy, and a long etcetera. Although we respect the hopes of many people that voted on the Fern\u00e1ndez to take Macri out, we say to them that we cannot trust at all in the \u201ccordial\u201d interviews, the \u201cordered transition\u201d or the future government. We must organize meetings, assemblies, plenaries, to prepare ourselves to continue the struggle against the bosses\u2019 and government\u2019s attacks. The leaders of the CGT-CTA cannot keep looking away from this. We should demand them to take measures to confront this situation. The workers transition should be to prepare the struggle.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nTranslation: Sofia Ballack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many people celebrated Macri\u2019s defeat vividly, probably thinking that the suffocation of seeing the wage lower and evanishing sooner than it should, and hoping that \u201csomething better than this\u201d will come.
