Primarily he betrayed his voters by reinstating taxes that were previously removed, and took other measures that put the weight of the economy on middle and lower classes, while before he insisted many times that he would not further burden those classes, but higher classes instead.
He is trying to remove protectionist measures for land, water, fishing, mining industries.
All of this with mega decret and multiple articles law that still is being discussed by legislators.
He also formed his government with Mauricio Macri’s officials which he widely criticized before for being a failure and ramping the country’s debt by taking the historically biggest loan the IMF ever gave.
There is no proof of that. However, 56% of people voted for him on the ballotage, so inevitably some of that 56% do belong to that unions.
Still he blatantly lied on who would pay for the much expected crisis, so this strike is well justified.
As a side note CGT, the workers confederacy calling for this strike, is historically peronist.
