Below we present the draft resolution presented by the block of deputies of the Left Front and Workers – Unity (FITU), formed by Christian Castillo, Alejandro Vilca, Vilma Ripoll, Mercedes De Mendieta and Juan Carlos Giordanorepudiating the act led by the Minister of National Security, Patricia Bullrich, in which it was decided to restore the names of Colonel Ramón Falcón and Commissioner General Alberto Villar to the training schools of the Argentine Federal Police.
Likewise, from the Center of Professionals for Human Rights (CEPRODH) we call on all Human Rights organizations and personalities, as well as the entire democratic arc, to support the proposed resolution against what constitutes an open demand for State terrorism.
Ramon Falcon participated in the “Desert Campaign” organized by Julio Argentino Roca. He first genocide consummated by the State that decimated the native populations of Patagonia. Two “milestones” highlight Falcón above other criminals in uniform: the repression of the Tenants Strike of 1907 and the Red Week of 1909. In this last event, on May 1, 1909, International Workers’ Day, thousands expressed basic demands, in addition to the tribute to the martyrs of Chicago. Osvaldo Bayer He reported that that afternoon Falcón appeared aboard a car in the middle of the mobilization in downtown Buenos Aires. On Avenida de Mayo and Salta they received him shouting “Dog!”, “Down with Colonel Falcón!” and “Death to the Cossacks!” Challenged, the hierarch ordered the cavalry to repress without mercy. “The workers fell, the square was empty and the pavement was strewn with caps and pools of blood”Bayer wrote.
Alberto Villar He had an outstanding performance in the repression of working people between the late 1960s and early 1970s. He was one of the main organizers of parastatal terrorism in the period prior to the dictatorship of Videla, Massera and Agosti..
Specialized in counterinsurgency, Villar participated in the repression of emblematic struggles such as Viborazo Cordoba in 1971. And a year later he led the kidnapping of the bodies of those shot in Trelewbreaking into the headquarters of the Justicialista Party by force. Under the tutelage of José López Rega, Villar was one of the leaders of the Argentine Anti-Communist Alliance, better known as Triple A.. With the endorsement of the Peronist government, Villar promoted the dissemination of “black lists” and the creation of “anti-guerrilla brigades”, specialized in applying methods of repression and torture that would be extended to the entire country since March 24, 1976. It is estimated that in those years the gangs coordinated by Triple A murdered between 1,500 and 2,000 people.. Paradoxically, Osvaldo Bayer was sentenced to death by Triple A, along with Rodolfo Walsh and many others. Expelled from the country and forced to live in exile for eight years in Germany. The fourth volume of Rebel Patagonia it had to be published in Germany.
