Freedom Advances (LLA) This Saturday denied the incidents of Friday Jose C. Paz, during an inauguration ceremony for city councilors that ended with seven people injured after one fierce fight between Libertarians and PJ fighters. After submitting one Complaint to court and accused the city government of inciting the attack, according to the Violet Party called on Buenos Aires Governor Axel Kicillof to speak out about what happened. “If you don’t, you will be complicit in the violence the mayor is perpetrating.” Mario Ishii and their community ties practiced,” they warned.
“You have to stand on the side of the people of Buenos Aires who live in freedom and democracy and want to break with these privileges and constraints.” LLA claimed Kicillof through a statement distributed on social networks about the events at the José C. Paz University.
And in this context they denounced: “Municipal officials – under the leadership of Mayor Mario Ishii – brutally attacked militants of La Libertad Avanza (LLA) who were carrying out peaceful political activities in public spaces and without evidence. As the LLA grows and challenges privileges, Kirchnerism feels cornered and responds with the only thing it has left: physical and verbal violence.”
According to the purple leadership, it was not one “isolated case” but from one Attack organized by the “local and provincial ruling party”. Immediately afterwards, the list of seven injured people was released.
It is a 39-year-old man, identified as David, who would have suffered “a broken jaw, a broken rib and the loss of teeth.” They also reported attacks against a minor under 16 years of age that he and a 39-year-old woman were “thrown to the ground and kicked, dragged by the hair and beaten.”
Additionally, the Libertarian Space reported that a city police officer pointed a gun at a 17-year-old minor as he tried to “stop an attack” on a family member. Meanwhile, he reported another attack against a gendarme “accompanying the operation,” whose nose was broken and who, it was made clear, “is afraid to identify himself because of possible reprisals.”
Additionally, the cases of a 17-year-old girl who was “beaten, scratched and spat on” and a retired teacher who, as detailed, “had chairs thrown at her, injuring her.”
In this context, the LLA called on the governor of Buenos Aires to “say clearly” what happened. And in this sense they added: “We demand that the judiciary take immediate action against those politically and materially responsible. We will not allow the state to be abused to persecute the opposition.”
The statement from the province’s libertarian leadership complements the complaint made by LLA councilor María Clara Amorosa, one of the first to publicize the situation.
In the court statement accessed by LA NACION, Amoroso pointed to several José C Paz officials whom he accused of “inciting” Fuerza Patria fighters to “attack the group of members of La Libertad Avanza.” Among those responsible, the city council included the government secretary and Ishii’s right-hand man, Pablo Mansilla; the ministers of sport and economics, Rodolfo Pino and Lito Denucchi, among other personalities who hold positions within the community, such as: Roberto Ricardo, Walter Arzamendia and Luis Herrera.
Out of the municipality of José C Paz confirmed the scene, Although they accused Amoroso of inciting his militants with gestures and speeches during the meeting. “He’s looking for trouble,” Ishii repeated. “You provoked and ours reacted,” they said, summing up the argument.
Local government leaders tried to downplay the incident, saying they did not know exactly how many injuries were reported following the brawl. But they made sure to make that clear Any city officials who intervened in the fight did so solely for the purpose of “separation.”
Amoroso told LN+ his version of how the conflict began: “Suddenly they started beating one of my 16-year-olds who came to accompany me to my inauguration.” According to the Libertarian, the meeting at the José C. Paz University took place in the midst of the usual speeches up to that point.
Amoroso described a disparity at the university between PJ and LLA fighters. “There were very few of us, it was full of municipal officials and their militants,” he explained.
And returning to the moment of the attack, he noted: “My militants told them to please stop because he was a child and stop beating him. What did they want to do? Create conflict.” The libertarian leader then referred to the attack suffered by Romina Calderón, one of her activists, according to the complaint. “They dragged her like she was a sack and started beating her between six men. The husband of this girl, who is one of mine, whose jaw was broken and whose rib was broken, came in there,” he said.
