They were received with sticks and bullets, gases and rubber bullets used not to disperse but to injure.<br \/>\nPeople resisted the repression by the Gendarmerie with whatever they had on their hands. Many comrades are wounded, some seriously, like an activist injured with a lead bullet who was about to bleed, and another one that lost an eye. There are more than 50 people detained.<br \/>\nThe same ones that attacked the demonstration that counted with many elderly are now making a campaign about \u201cthe violent ones,\u201d specifically accusing the PSTU and one particular comrade, who appears throwing a free-sale fire-work usual in every demonstration, just to discredit the mobilization and deviate the attention of the 50 detainees and the police brutality.<br \/>\nSebastian Romero was a FIT candidate, besides being a well-known labor and popular activist, who was at the front line of the protests for housing together with his neighbors, as well as defending the General Motor workers\u2019 jobs when the US multinational imposed 350 layoffs. He was also in solidarity with many other working-class struggles. Now, Macri\u2019s government, through a prosecutor, officialized an order to detain him.<br \/>\nThis is an attack on all popular and labor movement organizations; a \u201cwitch-hunting\u201d against the PSTU and any organization that mobilizes in defense of our rights.<br \/>\nWe repudiate the order of detention and the media campaign. We surround Sebastian with solidarity and defend him and all activists still detained. We demand immediate freedom and denounce the campaign orchestrated by those who, on a daily basis, generate social violence like hunger, misery, and unemployment. We make the government and the security forces responsible for anything that might happen to our organization and militants.<br \/>\nTo assume this defense is to defend the right of all workers to demonstrate and to defend themselves from repression.<br \/>\nPlease send your adhesion and solidarity to <a href=\"mailto:solidaridadconsebastianromero@gmail.com\">solidaridadconsebastianromero@gmail.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Macri\u2019s government, just like many in other countries, is showing up to what point he is willing to go to impose his adjustment plan, which is a capitalism\u2019s international policy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9363,"menu_order":1154,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"litci_post_political_author":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[94,4034],"tags":[4039,4078,3895,1626,191,4770],"class_list":["post-9362","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-argentina","category-international-solidarity","tag-international-solidarity","tag-latin-america","tag-macris-repression","tag-pstu-argentina","tag-sebastian-romero","tag-working-class-struggles"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>End the persecution of Sebastian Romero and of all activists!
