Macri wants Armed Forces working in fight against drug-trafficking, terrorism
Quote:
 
The activities of the country's Armed Forces are a sensitive topic in Argentina given the atrocities the military committed during the 1976-1983 military dictatorship.

Forget "drug-trafficking". Forget "terrorism". The real reason is this.

After the next military coup, the generals will not repeat the mistake in the past....They will openly kill dissidents and dump the body on the door step of the family, so they won't have silly women marching with "missing" photos........ :nana:

Pet hamsters in Argentina will continue to see more "repression" from the government....In other countries this is called "law and order", which is always supported by the majority of citizens....Pet hamsters will never get the government they want unless they pay most of the taxes............ :oyvey:

Senegalese Immigrants Face Police Brutality in Argentina
Quote:
 
BUENOS AIRES, Jun 22 2018 (IPS) - Senegalese immigrants began to arrive in Argentina in the 1990s and most of them joined the group of street vendors in Buenos Aires and other cities. But in recent months, they have suffered police brutality, denounced as a campaign of racial persecution.

The Voice of Argentina’s Slums, Under Threat
Quote:
 
BUENOS AIRES, Jul 5 2018 (IPS) - Between the dimly-lit, narrow alleyways of Villa 21, only 30 minutes by bus from the centre of the Argentine capital, more than 50,000 people live in poverty. It was there that La Garganta Poderosa (which means powerful throat), the magazine that gave a voice to the “villeros” or slum-dwellers and whose members today feel threatened, emerged in 2010.
