Problems in Argentina ! Reason Seven - Why Argentine Governtment claims the Falklands like the Junta did

CGT condemns police 'repression' on former soldiers
 CGT labour confederation leader Hugo Moyano.

In a written statement signed by CGT labour confederation leader Hugo Moyano, the organization condemned the police “repression” against former soldiers who were asking to be recognized as veterans of the Malvinas War, and wondered “whether something is changing in Argentina.”

“Without discussing the details of their protest, the CGT is concerned by this apparent change in policy, which used to be inherent to the City Government and its policy of repression against the homeless or the eviction of street peddlers by the Metropolitan Police,” the organization said in a written statement that is also signed by Human Rights secretary Julio Piumato.

“This new incident joins others such as the repression against the teamsters in Chubut and the repression against the citizens of Catamarca who were protesting against the mining projects,” and it is “at odds with the respect for Human Rights and the policies enacted by the National Government since 2003,” the text added.

“Therefore, the CGT condemns the incidents and expresses its concern over an escalation that we hope doesn’t mean a change in the policies of persuasion and unrestricted respect for Human Rights that we hope continues to be state policy,” it continued.

The recent statement widens the distance between the National Government and the CGT, which had earlier criticized national lawmakers over their sudden salary hike.
