The Vice President affirmed “she is resigned to the fact that justice is not going to investigate anything”
The Vice President supported the implementation of a fixed sum for workers
Cristina Fernández de Kirchner recalled that during her second government “workers’ wages were recovered,” and supported the implementation of a fixed sum that is something that “cannot go against joint negotiation.”
The Budget
The former president affirmed that “we must represent and organize Peronism” and asked to rediscuss “each point of the GDP so that the budget is more equitable.”
He remarked that before 2019 “there was a government that indebted Argentina” and demanded “incorporate workers into the discussion about a country model”

The participants are exclusively leaders, congressmen y affiliates of the metallurgical union, since it is a union plenary session.
Furlán has held the position of general secretary since last March 22, when he was elected successor to the previous head of the UOM, Antonio Caló.
Meanwhile, sources close to the Vice President confirmed to Télam that next November 17 will lead an act for the Day of Militancyat the Diego Maradona stadium (exÚnico) in the city of La Plata, where she will be “the only speaker.”

Federico Achaval: “The future is with everyone, but for the workers the future is with you”
The mayor of Pilar’s Buenos Aires party, Federico Achaval, assured at the closing of the plenary session of delegates of the provincial Metallurgical Workers’ Union (UOM), in which Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner participates, that “the people do not forget” and that “to workers, the future is with you”.
“We want, we bank Cristina,” said Achaval amid applause from the municipal micro-stadium of Pilar, which was packed with workers from the metallurgical sector, delegates, congressmen and union leaders.
Also participating in the act were the Buenos Aires Governor Axel Kicillof, the Mayor of Quilmes, Mayra Mendoza, and the Provincial Community Development Minister, Andrés Larroque, among other leaders of the Front of All.
Likewise, the host mayor affirmed that “the people do not forget the four years of Néstor (Kirchner), nor your eight years as President and how you extended rights.”
“Once again you put the body to believe that another Argentina was possible,” he said, addressing the former president and president of the Senate.
In that sense, he added: “You had a gesture of greatness in 2019 to return to the Government, you were the first to think of the Great Homeland.”
In his message, the mayor stated that he wanted to convey to the Vice President something that she usually hears in the neighborhoods and “that surely fellow mayors should hear something similar,” he added in reference to a phrase about the 2023 presidential elections.
“Cristina, I am not going to talk about politics today, but let me tell you one thing very clearly, things that those of us who embrace territorial politics in our neighborhoods hear: ‘We love Cristina, we support Cristina, we feel enormous love for her ‘, and when one asks why, it has to do with the fact that the people do not forget the four years of Néstor’s government, they do not forget the eight years in which you were President and expanded the rights of the causes of those who most they need,” remarked the communal chief.
And he completed his speech with an allusion to the presidential candidacy of the FdT for next year by pointing out that “the future is with everyone but, fundamentally, for the workers the future is with you”, after which he received a standing ovation from the public.
