Rossi plays down Moyano's absence during swearing-in ceremony

The head of the Victory Front’s caucus in the Lower House, Deputy Agustín Rossi, told reporters to be “very positive" about the future relationship between the national government and the labour unions, and played down yesterday's absence of CGT boss Hugo Moyano during yesterday's swearing-in ceremony of President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.

Thus, Rossi stated, “I have no doubt that we will continue to build together in the coming years“, and added, “We (Victory Front) are a political space that has defended the value of work in a very loud and clear way during this time in power. Plus, employment has grown and the unions have played a huge role.”

When asked about the absence of CGT Labour Confederation’s boss Hugo Moyano to President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner’s swear-in ceremony, the national deputy said: “We don’t see any political intention behind his absence. Actually, the deputies who respond to the labour movement, including Facundo Moyano, son of Hugo, were present yesterday at the Congress.”
