Since 1983, those who have suffered most from strikes are non-Peronist governments

With that of Tuesday, April 30, President Mauricio Macri has faced five general strikes during his three and a half years of leadership at the head of the national government.

Thus, this will amount to the number of strikes suffered by Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, but with one detail: the five were in their two terms.

The data comes from the report "The General stops since the return of democracy", signed by the lawyer Marcelo Bermolen, professor at the School of Politics, Government and International Relations of the 39, Southern University.

With this union measure, the Macri government exceeds the average number of work stoppages a day ruled by Eduardo Duhalde.

But it is also clear that non-Peronist governments have suffered more strikes during ruled days than Peronist governments.

"From 1983 to 2019, there were 42 national strikes in the country, including 26 general strikes focused on three non-Peronist presidents, although of the 36 years badyzed, about 24 are led by PJ agents." Says the report .

The report focuses exclusively on the "national" general strikes that took place during the mandates of the various Argentine presidents, from 1983 to the present day, without taking into account the partial strikes, the mobilizations or the various marches that could take place.

"Out of a total of 42 national strikes, 26 were concentrated in three non-Peronist presidents (Alfonsín, De la Rúa and Macri) each with a single mandate, partially or fully exercised, against 16 general strikes of four presidents Peronist origin (Menem, Duhalde, Néstor Kirchner and Cristina Fernández) who together added five ordinary mandates and a special mandate for the 2001 crisis) – In percentage: 62% (to non-Peronist forces) versus 38% (to peronist forces), "the report adds.

Mandates

According to the study, Macri continues to be the non-Peronist president with fewer union activities related to plans and the conduct of general strikes.

Alfonsín is at the top of the list of the stops received, with 13, followed by De La Rúa with 8 and Macri with 5.

But, although his term is not yet over, Macri is equivalent to the number of general strikes suffered by Cristina Fernández de Kirchner in her two terms as head of the national executive (five in both cases).

Note: Fernández de Kirchner did not undergo a general strike during his first term.

The five measures of force against the leadership of the former president have accumulated during his second presidential term.

Average

The report also marks the noticeable difference between the time the guilds are waiting to make the first general strike.

According to the average, presidents of the Peronist variants were arrested for the first time at 1,108 days, against 275 for non-Peronists.

Alfonsin was the president who had suffered the largest number of strikes, while Kirchner had suffered only one (one hour on behalf of the CGT as part of a CTRA strike). ).

In addition, all non-Peronist governments had more strikes during ruled days than the Peronist governments. Still, Macri's is the non-Peronist government that has undergone fewer strikes for ruled days.

62% of the strikes involved radical governments or alliances with radicals. The remaining 38% was allocated to Peronist governments.

De la Rua suffered from average unemployment every 92 days, while Kirchner was only leading a strike during his 1661 days of government.
