Argentine : solidarité avec la grève générale

Friends of the Earth International supports a general strike in Argentina on January 24, 2024, protesting President Javier Milei's 'Omnibus Law' and Emergency Decree (DNU). The organization criticizes the government's economic shock measures, the privatization of 41 state companies, and the repeal of laws protecting glaciers and native forests. It specifically condemns the creation of a national greenhouse gas emissions market and the restriction of the right to protest.

• The government of Javier Milei has implemented economic measures described as a 'shock doctrine', including a 51% currency devaluation in December 2023, which has led to uncontrolled inflation and increased living costs.
• The administration plans to privatize 41 public companies, including the national oil company, national bank, and water and sanitation services, while establishing incentives for large investments in mining, oil, gas, forests, and agro-industry.
• Environmental protections are being weakened through the repeal of laws protecting native forests and glaciers, and the introduction of a national greenhouse gas emissions market based on carbon quotas and offsetting.
• The government has introduced a security ministry protocol that prohibits the fundamental right to public protest and social and political organization.
