Kirchnerismo fell and a weaker government that will enable adjustment is going to assume.

Millions of workers and poor people used the "punishment vote" choosing Macri's list for ending their experience with Cristina's & company government.

This option had had one of its most important expressions in October, when one of the most recalcitrant candidates of the kirchnerismo, Anibal Fernandez, lost the government of Buenos Aires against the unknown candidate of Cambiemos, Maria Eugenia Vidal.

Because of this we reaffirm our statement of that moment: "A great part of the masses chose an opposing right wing list to punish the right that is ruling... meaning no right shift from the mass movement."

The last events, that not only include this electoral result but the great struggles and general strikes that took place between 2014 and 2015, have weakened the bourgeois democratic regime that is prevailing in Argentina since the fall of the dictatorship.

The most important fact that supports this reasoning is the resounding fall of the government which, by means of demagogy and concessions, guaranteed the most scandalous handover of the Argentine history to the big international corporations.

The Kirchners have opened the doors to the monopolies, making easier to them the plundering of the richness -mining, oil, soya pools- apart from being the ones who have paid more in debt concepts.

The alleged "national and popular" government paid near 145 billion dollars to the major international financial organizations, leaving almost 300 billion dollars in debt and the majority of the companies in foreign hands.

Out of 200 major companies in the middle 90's, only 56 belonged to imperialist capitals, whether nowadays reach the 60%.... in an economy in which only the 15% comes from industrial products!

The "progressive government" handed over Vaca Muerta to Chevron denying to make public the fine print of the agreement, allowing the contamination of the water by Barrick Gold, a company that, as other mining industries, is plundering the richness without any control of the state.

The government of the "human rights" promoted the genocidal Milani, repressed the workers in Panamericana and promulgated the Anti-terrorism Law, allowing and covering up the disappearance of Julio Lopez and the crimes against fighters as Mariano Ferreira, Carlos Fuentealva, the Qom people or Angel Veron.

The new government, as rightist as the previous one, will try to deepen this adjustment, repression and plundering policies , but with an astounding weakness, as they do not have the economical "tailwind" to do concessions nor the support basis that Nestor and Cristina  used to have.

The absence of street celebrations and the feeling of a great part of the electorate that chose Scioli believing that it was the best choice "against Macri" show that the working class and the people gave no "blank cheque" to the winners.

The continuity of the fights of Cresta Roja, Bimbo and people of Merlo-who still remain in the occupied lands- also put in evidence that people  below have  decided not to demobilize nor give any "trial time" to the new government.

Macri's government will resemble more the one of the Alianza than the one of the PRO of Buenos Aires, which, in spite of having awoken a kind of popular liking, it had to quickly face the wrath of the mass movement that broke it down.

The FIT force must head the resistance, propelling the struggles for real salary increases, against the income tax, the defence of the jobs, the 82% for the retired and all the conquests that the "national and popular" government of Cristina have denied.

The left wing will have the challenge of organizing the best fighters, avoiding them to be taken by the hirchnerista pseudo - left, that setting themselves as the "opposition to Macri", will try to tie the vanguard to the cart of the decadent employer opposition personified by Cristina, Scioli, La Campora & company.
