Solidarity with the Argentinian workers

["Nestor Miguel Gorojovsky" <gorojovsky@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear comrades,

This morning, at 3 AM, Argentinian workers and union leaders who were
gathering around the House of Parliament were brutalized by the
Police. They were gassed, hit with sticks, and shot with both rubber
and real ammunition.

The charge was that they were attempting to carry on a plan to close
access to Congress to the Senators, who were to debate (and most
presumably approve) the Labor Code that the IMF has imposed on the De
La Rúa administration.

The evidence that has been presented is ridiculous, and at most it
would imply to judge PROBABLE INTENTIONS, not FACTS or CLEARLY
ASCERTAINED INTENTIONALITY.

As a result of the repression, one of the Secretaries of the newly
assembled combative CGT (Unions Central) was shot in a testicle and
is in serious health situation.

We need solidarity from everyone. Please forward mails protesting
against police brutality and the new Argentinian Labor Code to the
Argentinian Presidency, to the House of Representatives, to the
Senate, to the Argentinian Ministry of Interior, and to the
Argentinian Ministery of Labor. I do not access Internet during
workdays, so I cannot give the URLs, but I am certain that you will
all find them.

This government is showing its fangs at the resistence of our people
against IMF and their mandates. You can help us stop their escalade.
Will keep you informed on further events.

Thank you all,





Néstor Miguel Gorojovsky
