“The connection we have with the CGT is one of constant dialogue. “Negotiations are established through activity, there are meetings every day and therefore the connection will always be reasonable,” he noted and continued: “All social actors must understand what society asks of them; we have an obligation to do something. You cannot feel comfortable when others are uncomfortable. The bond will be as good as ever; I have very good expectations there. “The direction that (Javier) Milei sets is very clear and people follow it sincerely.”

The activity must be motorized. “When you get to a system of distrust like the one we have today, where one doesn’t hire the other because the risks are greater… There has to be someone who wants to hire you and create a system of trust where everyone wins, that’s vital to the activity system,” he continued.

At the same time, there will be a reduction in contributions for those who are already employed. The rights of everyone are preserved and there are incentives to create jobs“, he repeated.
