A document was read on last 9M from the platform before the rally, lionizing the infamous Fernandez government and its Social Agreement that is already making the workers starve. A document in support of a capitalist government that has taken money out of the pockets of the poor to give alms to the poorest and meanwhile paid $ 1.3 billion to the IMF in January... And now the party of the government dares to speak of "women being now out of the red" to tens of thousands of mobilized women? It is a new scam of the bosses' politicians supported by the FIT-U!
This scandalous document calls for a front against the "neoliberal bourgeoisies", hand in hand with the PJ (Peronismo). This is an open class collaboration policy.
The document in question laments the external debt but does not call to ignore it... According to them, such debt turns out to be only with women and not with the entire working class... And what about the kids who die from malnutrition? Who wrote that anti-worker pamphlet?
It was a bourgeois document that does not confront the exploitation of the workers by the capitalists and therefore it does not fight in favor of working women.
All available hands must produce! 6-hour shifts in all factories and establishments in the country! Enough of female comrades slaves with state social plans to work for a dime! Minimum wage to the level of the family basket, and mobile according to de rise of the cost of living!
Progressive taxes on big fortunes! Expropriate the land of the oligarchy and the bankers without compensation in order to have nurseries, health, housing, and decent wages!
Let the crisis be paid for by the capitalists, or it will be paid by the workers, and doubly so by the women of the working class!
It is a document in defense of bourgeois justice with the same breed of judges, intelligence services, attorneys and police... but now "with a gender perspective"... And Maldonado? And the genocidal army that this government wants us to forget? What about prosecuted workers persecuted and convicted? Just "freedom for the imprisoned women"? And the imprisoned drivers of the East Bus Line? And those sentenced to life by Kirchner's judges, such as the oil workers in Las Heras, Santa Cruz?
Rascals! Class-conscious working women will repudiate this bourgeois declaration, which is a true swindle to the international struggle of working women.
The left was subjected to the signatories of that bourgeois document: the PJ, which is the party of repressive Berni, who, at the command of the gendarmerie, did not balk at smashing the heads of the workers who blockaded the Panamericana highway in defense of their job possitions. The same Berni who along with the Kirchnerites murdered 4 male and female comrades among the exploited squatting in the Indo-American Park, for the "crime" of taking land.
The parliamentary left has given "critical support" to this document and to a government representing the IMF, the bankers and the slaver employers, which only deceive the workers with sweet phrases and tiny alms (which cannot even be called as such) to better continue making the people starve and surrendering the nation to imperialism.
Here there are province governors as Kicillof in Buenos Aires Province or Arcioni in Chubut making the teachers starve and killing them, as the latter did repeatedly, or laying them off as "feminist" Alicia Kirchner did in Santa Cruz.
The authors of the document, who are from bourgeois parties such as the PJ (Peronista), propose to working women a feminist movement with which they would progress along with this rotten capitalist system that is collapsing on the masses’ shoulders, in Argentina and throughout the world.
Thus a reactionary bourgeois policy is being imposed on the courageous feminist movement and their rightful demands and struggles. The perfidious policy of the bourgeois parties that are riding on this movement pursues the objective of dividing the working class and their demands and allowing the traitors of the union bureaucracy, a band of millionaire thugs supported by the employers' state, to continue controlling the labor movement with a regime of terror, selling out all the struggles and demands, and being guarantors of the triple exploitation of working women both in the production process and at home.
What were renowned leaders of the left and the FIT-U doing there, endorsing and reading that program? Doesn't this mean giving the leadership of the struggle of working women to the bourgeoisie and the Fernandez government and their social pact of hunger and submission to imperialism?
What does that proclamation have to do with the revolutionary struggle of the female textile workers who in February 1917 dragged the Petrograd working class and all of Russia into the revolution?
That front of class collaboration is a political scam. It attacks the Macrismo, which is no longer in office, and supports the (PJ) current government that is the one that continues to apply the same plans of the capitalists.
The document was signed by the PJ and all its political branches, Stalinism and the inevitable Ms. Bregman (FIT-U) for the photo in the platform in front of the rally. The FIT-U gave the leadership of the working women's struggle movement to the bourgeoisie!
The liberation of the workers (both male and female) will be the work of the workers themselves... and of the unity of the exploited to end with this rotten capitalist system that enslaves the working class and doubly so the working women.

On the “critical support” of the PTS leadership to the document read on the 9M rally… and to the Fernandez government
After the massive demonstration that took place in Buenos Aires on March 9, the PTS wrote an article about it entitled "The green tide showed its power again in front of the Congress: what #9M2020 left" (La Izquierda Diario, March 10). In this statement they claim there are some progressive points in the bourgeois document that was read in the closure of the rally in front of the Congress, which "appeared as a product of the debates that centrally leftist organizations put forward". The document also mentions some disagreements with the document, showing an open position of “critical support” to the document in question, which was issued by the PJ and the Kirchnerites.
To try to justify this, the PTS leadership falsifies this document, claiming that it supposedly says "the demand of not paying the fraudulent foreign debt and to break with the IMF". This is a lie. The document read on the stage never says that the debt should not be paid, but clearly states: "we demand the investigation and the non-payment of the illegitimate and fraudulent debt"... That is, this document of the Frente de Todos (“Front of All”) affirms that it is necessary to carry out an investigation of the foreign debt and ignore the part that is fraudulent, that is, that it would be necessary to pay what is considered legitimate. This is the policy defended by Cristina Kirchner, who called to investigate the debt contracted by Macri as a way to legitimize the theft and looting of the nation by the IMF! A true cynicism of this government of the PJ and the K, when they are the ones who recognized and honored every last dollar of the foreign debt from the genocidal dictatorship to the present day.
The truth is that to provide “critical support” to that document of the PJ and the K and, above all, to transvestite it by saying that it talks about “not paying the debt”, as the PTS does, is to generate illusions that the government can advance in taking anti-imperialist measures and breaking with the IMF. What are they talking about?
They are white-washing those who were part of the Menem government, like the K and Alberto Fernandez himself, who handed over all the state companies to pay the debt during the 1990s. They are the Kirchners, the “serial payers” of the debt, who during their previous governments paid more than US $ 200,000 million and brought the debt from US $ 180,000 to US $ 250,000 million.
Today Alberto Fernandez continues his work, not only recognizing all the debt contracted by the Macri government, which the members of the “Front of All” supported from the parliament and the governors of the provinces, but has already paid the sum of US $ 1,300 million of the debt in January. Moreover, in the face of the new blow of the global economic crisis, the government does not rule out a default, but prepares an orderly default with the IMF, always with the aim of transforming the bad debt that Argentina maintains into a collectible debt, to fill the pockets of the bloodsucker international creditors.
This is what the cry of “end with having debts” is about in the document that was read in the stage on 9M. Although the PTS leadership wants to hide the truth, it has ended up supporting and endorsing this policy of the PJ and the Kirchnerites, and putting makeup on a capitalist government.
Furthermore, the PTS does not feel ashamed to “critically endorse” a document that does not propose taking any action against the capitalists, the oligarchy and imperialism (which are taking away billions of dollars from the country and looting all the wealth of the nation) in order to finance the fair demands of the working women and all the exploited. They “critically supported” the program of that bourgeois document, which amounts to leaving intact the profits of the capitalists and supporting that the people has to continue paying for the crisis and the financial gambling of those from above!
This is not accidental. The PTS has the opinion that it is possible for workers to improve their living standards within the framework of this rotten imperialist capitalist system, hand in hand with the institutions of the infamous regime such as the Parliament and sectors of the “progressive” bourgeoisie, such as the government of Fernandez. Hence the policy of the PTS leadership is to support the supposed “progressive measures” of the government and criticizes the “negative ones”, making believe that Fernández is capable of granting concessions to the masses in Argentina, which is broken and plundered by imperialism and in the midst of the fierce crash of the world economy.
Giving it a “critical support”, the PTS has renounced in advance to the struggle to overthrow this bourgeois government by means of the socialist revolution; however, this is the only way to break with the IMF and imperialism and for this reason, only in this way will the working women along with the entire working class be liberated, leading the oppressed classes of society.
At a 180° angle of this revolutionary socialist perspective, the PTS, as part of the renegades of Trotskyism has become a left “collector” of the PJ and the K (that is, it aspires to represent the left wing of the bourgeoisie and therefore win over the sectors of the masses that are attracted by it, but does not break with a class collaboration policy, NT). They want to make the PJ and the K appear as “progressive” before the working class. They will then have to take responsibility for all the actions and the measures that this government of the capitalists take before the workers.
