You who are reading this note, do you have more than one job to make ends meet? If so, you are part of the immense majority of which Cristian Eduardo Pereyra was also a part.
At 39 years old, he was shot five times while driving his car on the Presidente Perón highway working for the application Didibecause His three teaching jobs were not enough for him.. Moonlighting to try to survive found him in the worst place. The alleged murderer he is a policeman. It is about Matías Alejandro Vizgarra Riveros, 23 years old, member of the UTOI special troopstationed at Puente 12. Vizgarra is also a native of Virrey del Pino. And he was Cristian’s last passenger passenger. The teacher had a three-year-old daughter, named Olivia: “I don’t know how we are going to explain to my niece that the police killed her father. –denounced his sister Brenda–. “Those who were supposed to protect us did this”.
There are facts that portray an era. And few are so allusive of this precarious and exploded Argentina of the Milei government. Cristian’s crime speaks of a society in which the majority does not have time to live due to the need to add jobs to pay for the basics: food, rent, services. It speaks of desperate people, of the lack of control, of “every man for himself”, of a State absent with warning and of reversed roles: the one who takes care of you, kills you. Not only in that episode of Virrey del Pino. You see it on Wednesdays when the police punish and beat retirees, militants, and opponents. Then the official message is to say that the heroes are those you see hitting.
Today employment is a drama. He portrayed him Time on Sunday in a dossier called Social Chainsaw. Because What is breaking are the ties that unite us as a society. Solidarity, work, empathy, encounter.
There is a reality: There are fewer and fewer privileged people who have only one job. And those that have it blank, almost science fiction. That is what the government relied on (the same government that fostered this context of precariousness) to promote Labor reform tailored to the business class, the true owners of the country.
There is not a single article that promotes employment. It doesn’t matter. Yes, we are all monotributists. The sad thing is that this serves as a phrase to justify the reform and not to say: ‘stop, let’s level up, let’s ensure that more people can have a job and that it’s a blank one.’
So, in this context of naturalized precariousness, a teacher must drive a Didi and is killed in the car he uses for the application. At dawn. His family demanded that a teacher strike be called. Because reality is too dark to look away.
A survey by TresPuntoZero by Shila Vilker, carried out in February and reproduced last Sunday by Pablo Ibáñez in Cenital, tells that the expectation of an economic improvement reached its lowest point of the Milei era and pierced the floor of 30 points. “There are other indicators that should worry the Casa Rosada: the sharpest drop in the evaluation of Milei’s management, before the Adorni episode, was recorded among the most libertarian age segment, young people between 16 and 29 years old,” the journalist writes.

During these same days, another consulting firm close to the Government detected that More than half of Argentines do not make ends meet and two out of three bought less food for their homes so far this year. Informality is growing and if there is no more unemployment it is due to the growth of people who sign up for delivery or transportation apps. According to an index published by the Rappi company, in November 2025 the number of available delivery drivers had increased by 38% compared to the same month of the previous year, while the average ticket amount only grew by 21%. But the retraction also arrived there: in the last month the use of social media applications fell by 10%. delivery.
He government He has a couple of cards in his favor: The majority realize that they live badly, but do not associate it with this management or its measures (although that trend seems to be reversing slightly in recent days). It happens with the teachers: how many of the teachers from whom the LLA took away the National Teacher Incentive Fund (FONID) and stopped sending them funds for works and schools, and increased their services exponentially, voted for that same government that attacks them openly?
The other card it plays is that the majority feels that it is wrong but, in the midst of the rise of individualism, it does not matter as long as those next to it are also wrong. The politics of “what are we going to do?” Of “we are bad, but you see, that’s the thing.” And that’s the thing, in this mileist Argentina where police kill teachers who are forced to work as app car drivers to make ends meet.
