    Second general strike against Milei under way

    The protest will be “forceful,” Pablo Moyano forecasted

    The Libertarian administration of President Javier Milei is going through the second general strike called for by the opposition General Labor Confederation (CGT) since it took office on Dec. 10, last year. The first such protest was staged on Jan. 24 with little success because at that time people were either on holiday or still enjoying their half-year bonuses that cushioned the predatory effects of Milei's measures on people's incomes.

    The foreign edition of Javier Milei's book “El camino del libertario” has stirred controversy due to erroneous academic data printed on its cover, falsely stating that Milei is a graduate of the University of Buenos Aires and holds a PhD from the University of California.
