Overview
- Roberto Baradel confirmed he will not seek re‑election as secretary general, ending roughly 18–20 years leading Buenos Aires province’s largest teachers’ union.
- SUTEBA scheduled internal elections for May 13, with newly elected authorities to assume duties on May 23.
- The officialist list will nominate current deputy María Laura Torre, positioning for continuity and aiming to win districts held by the Multicolor opposition in Bahía Blanca, Berazategui, Marcos Paz and Tigre.
- Baradel intends to stay active at the national level in CTERA and the CTA, which also plan leadership votes later this year.
- The announcement follows SUTEBA’s early‑March strike—the first against Governor Axel Kicillof since 2019—and caps a tenure marked by intense wage disputes under Daniel Scioli and María Eugenia Vidal, including a stoppage exceeding 20 days.
