00:00Now in Argentina, universities and workers at the Garrahan Hospital in Buenos Aires are

00:05holding a 48-hour strike in protest against the vetoes of President Javier Milley.

00:11After his party's defeat in the Buenos Aires elections last Sunday, the Argentine president

00:16decided to reaffirm his economic policy by vetoing funds to public universities and the

00:22Garrahan Hospital.

00:23On the other hand, the Federation of University Teachers, FEDUM, began a 24-hour strike in

00:29all educational institutions in the country after President Milley vetoed the University

00:34Fond du Law and the Pediatric Emergency Law last Thursday.

00:38For their part, Garrahan Hospital workers called for a noise protest at the health facility and

00:45throughout the country in rejection of the government's vetoes.

00:49On Sunday, the government suffered a significant blow at the polls because the workers are essentially

00:57rejecting the adjustments being implemented on all fronts, and without a doubt, the adjustment

01:01at Garrahan Hospital was very poorly received.

01:04That's why we have had strong popular support for the struggle at Garrahan Hospital.

01:07One might think that the government, well, doesn't understand the situation.

01:11We understand that they do understand it.

01:12They want to go all out against the public hospital.

01:14They want to go all out against public health.

01:16And we are going to give them a strong response.

01:20We are once again supporting Garrahan.

01:22We were at all the possible marches thinking that the President would become aware, but the

01:25truth is that the veto took us by surprise and with great sadness.

01:29We are here supporting the hospital once more, supporting the universities and the retirees,

01:33with all the struggles.

01:34Nowadays, we have to take to the streets.

01:37It is very important for people to become aware.

01:40We have to go out and fight for the country.

01:42We don't deserve it.

01:43Our children don't deserve it.
