Video: the relatives of the murdered worker speak:
The Güemes Plan was inaugurated a little over a week ago and already demonstrates that its method is the repression of workers who have no alternative for subsistence other than being coca growers or bagayeros, in the north of Salta where job insecurity and police repression prevail. .
The situation caused strong indignation among Bagayeros. In response, they established a total block on National Route 50, at checkpoint 28, between Aguas Blancas and Oran. The protesters demand answers and denounce the violence and repression they suffer from the members of Plan Güemes. The repression ended with one death and several injuries.
Relatives and workers denounce that the gendarmerie left the body during the demonstration and do not let the family or friends pass to recognize it. This is the brutal and cruel actions of Bullrich’s forces.
Patricia Bullrich and Sáenz already spoke in X celebrating the gendarmerie measure that ended with the death of a worker. The coca leaf passers on the border work informally and in terrible conditions to transport a product that is consumed in the north of the Argentine provinces, but the minister calls them drug traffickers and justifies the intimidation and repression of her forces.
At this time, residents of Oran near Route 50 report that they are being repressed by the gendarmerie in the Bagayeros neighborhoods.
Sáenz and Bullrich talk about combating drug trafficking with the “Plan Güemes”, which is equal to repression. I repudiate the repression of precarious workers, which resulted in one border worker being murdered and several hospitalized after the fierce repression in Oran.

All the repudiation of the murderous repression in #Salta!

The greater presence of “security” forces only deepens the intimidation of informal workers in the north of Salta and does not solve the problem of drug trafficking, which has strong links with political and business sectors.
