From: detcom-AT-sprynet.com Date: Tue, 29 Oct 1996 06:06:09 -0800 Subject: M-G: The Afternoon of the Broken Heads THE AFTERNOON OF THE BROKEN HEADS Buenos Aires (Argentina). On April 28 20,000 people took part in a festival against police violence in the fifth anniversary of the death of Walter Bulacio at the police headquarters. The act was organized by the Coordinadora Against Police and Institutional Repression (CORREPI). Nearby, about 30 skins members of the neofascist Movimiento Nuevo Orden (MNO) set up a stand of racist propaganda "Aryan Power". Provocations against the people attending the festival had begun in the morning. In the afternoon, in spite of attempts to preserve the peace, an spectator climbed up on the stage shouting "Death to the skins!" which unleashed a collective brawl. A mob advanced against the fascists. Their bats, chains and rocks were to no avail. One of the fascists was killed and 25 others had to be hospitalized. The savagery of the fight is the result of being fed up with the impunity with which the fascists go about. After the brawl there were more disturbances, pitched battles, destruction of urban buildings and assault and looting of supermarkets. The Argentinian press twisted the facts for 12 days. MNO enjoys good relations with the Federal Police, the head of Aryan Power is the son of a police chief and the fascists patronize a bar property of a policeman. ----- --- from list marxism-general-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
