Once again the retirees returned to Congress to claim for their assets and to demand the extension of the pension moratorium, which beat this Sunday and condemns more than 85% of workers of retirement age cannot access this basic right, with particular impact on women.

The Federal Police response was the same as always. Under the orders of Patricia Bullrich, they headed a new repression by hitting and playing retirees and the solidarity organizations that accompanied the mobilization.

But also the Federal again made clear the viciousness they have not only against those who mobilize, but against the press that covers the demonstrations and that exposes repression. When they were for Av. Entre Ríos, A motorized cash accelerated his motorcycle and took a cameraman who only did was film the repression of retirees. Luckily, he was able to get up quickly and did not suffer great wounds.

It is not something new, nor an isolated case. Only two weeks ago, the Federal attempts against Pablo Grillo shooting tear gas at close range and causing a very serious head in the head, which still keeps him hospitalized. The subsequent reconstruction of the incident left no doubt about police action.

From the Press Workers’ Union of Buenos Aires they repudiated what happened: “Two weeks ago the brutal repression in the march for decent retirements put Pablo Grillo at risk. The repudiation was massive. Today the government returned to its daily policy: gases and intimidation on the protest and on the work of the press. We did not naturalize it.”

It is that the different attacks on cameramen and journalists became a custom by Bullrich’s forces from the first moment. A conscious and deliberate action that aims to hinder and prevent the task of documenting police repression. A fundamental piece to build a story to its measure from large journalistic companies, demonizing social protest, lying and misrepresenting reality. The images of this Wednesday, they made it clear again.
