With the fight against repression and impunity as a flag

After the departure of the dictatorship, the trials and convictions of some of the genocidaires who acted there were uprooted by popular mobilization. The persistent struggle of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, former missing detainees, even human rights organizations with broad social support, has managed to prosecute genocide (although many benefit from the Impunity) and the military can not patrol the streets. Far from any "democratic consensus" to which the different wings of Peronism and Kirchnerism refer, it is this same struggle which puts an end to the laws of "due obedience" and "last point" and which, in May last year, facing impunity with hundreds of thousands of people who repudiate the "2×1" decision of the Supreme Court of Justice to convicted genocidaires.

Since its inauguration, the government has abundantly demonstrated its desire to deepen the Armed Forces' "reconciliation" policy with civil society. This was ratified by Mauricio Macri when he said after the announcements that these are "the armed forces of democracy", trying to hide the participation of hundreds of soldiers who participated in the genocide and who now occupy the high command, such as the former army chief Cesar Milani

The intention is twofold: resume the "safety" program when the economy, far from starting, deteriorates and prepare for the social consequences that will bring about the worsening of the crisis

Faced with the new looting that they are preparing under the orders of the IMF, the reinforcement of the repressive apparatus of the State is an indispensable task.
