Club Penguin Funbrain



Mariano Ferreyra was called, was 23 and was active in the Labor Party. A Trots, in the jargon that many have used to refer to these supporters with whom we disagree on so many opportunities. None of this makes sense now. He was killed during an ambush while claiming for better working conditions for railroad workers. They killed him, it seems, members of a gang in the service of the Union Railway. At the time of writing there are no stopped by the event. Another militant remains hospitalized with a bullet in the head.
I heard the news in the office and followed the proceedings via twitter and online diaries. The terms "conflict" and "union violence" used by the newspapers did not surprise me, come to ratify once again how far mainstream journalism is concerned about the veracity of the facts and respect for the victims. Yes I was surprised and alarmed by the reaction of many people sympathetic to the brushed twitter kirchnerismo in bad taste, the vindictiveness and speculation about "hidden truth" that lay behind the assassination Mariano. Scenes from a notable lack of ability to connect with the suffering of others, to stand against political violence. And the silence is regrettable. A deafening silence.
Minutes later, a few minutes later, it began to roll a press operation that bound Duhalde paranoid as the mastermind of the murder the day before meeting with the secretary general of the Railway Union. The offender perfect. The construction of a narrative cerradito, seamless, to make quiet conscience. I imagine a lot of googling Pedrazza + Magnetto desperate to make threading the end point of a conspiracy theory that left them at last sleep night.
None of that was true. Duhalde The meeting took place in 2009 . Magnetto Pedrazza not know. However, since the 678 program attempted to reinstall a fake version, pret a porter, on the usual suspects.
Sadder still, for those who have some kind of closeness with this government, was the official silence about the events. I came home when Cristina was speaking in North Park on the benefits of organic strawberries. An almost surreal scene, a sad scene that was impossible not to recall Fernando De la Rua talking about fishing for hake as they killed people. So much it cost to send a hug to the family of Mariano? Was so hard to provide solidarity with the victims? Was it impossible to take immediate steps to move the head of the police operation? Something, something other than silence.
In short, a horrible day. He leaves tomorrow, from 16 in Plaza Congress to demand justice for Mariano.
