TEXTO DE LA PETITION/RESOLUCION EN ESPANOL:
CONSIDERANDO que el 26 de Junio del 2002, la policia
de la Provincia de Buenos Aires abrio fuego contra
cientos de desocupados, activistas sindicales,
militantes politicos y de la comunidad que se estaban
manifestando pacificamente demandando trabajos y
comida en el Puente Pueyrredon
y
CONSIDERANDO que al menos dos personas fueron muertas
y otras 90 heridas, 17 de ellas de bala, testificando
de la ferocidad de la represion policial
y
CONSIDERANDO: que la Policia Federal ataco a
manifestantes que protestaban la represion policial en
Plaza de Mayo
y
CONSIDERANDO: que una huelga general ha sido llamada
para el jueves 27 de Junio contra la politica
represiva del gobierno del Presidente Eduardo Duhalde
y
CONSIDERANDO: que las protestas ininterrumpidas del

Banco Mundial
y
CONSIDERANDO: que la policia ataco a por lo menos un
local de la alianza electoral Izquierda Unida, una
organización legal que participo en las ultimas cuatro

por el FMI y el Banco Mundial y gobernar para la
mayoria del pueblo Argentino;
