Overview
- The Security Ministry filed a federal complaint against ATE’s Rodolfo Aguiar for alleged public threats to the constitutional order, invoking Penal Code articles 226 and 226 bis.
- The filing, presented by ministry lawyer Fernando Soto on Patricia Bullrich’s order, cites Aguiar’s TV remark that his “work is to provoke the crisis of this government,” an offense carrying a reported 1–4 year sentence.
- Despite the case, ATE began a 24‑hour strike on Nov. 19 with a march to the Secretariat of Labor, joined by CTA groups, UTEP, retirees’ organizations and other allies.
- Bullrich publicly called Aguiar “desestabilizador” and “golpista” and warned that security forces will respond to any violence; Aguiar said exercising the right to strike “is not coup‑mongering.”
- ATE frames the action as resistance to a planned labor reform and to anti‑protest measures, while the ministry asks federal courts to open a formal criminal inquiry.
