After the visit of the Secretary of Human Rights of the Nation, Horacio Pietragalla, to Formosa due to the complaints about human rights abuses, this Saturday Together for Change along with different social actors published a tough request in which they point out the "acts of discrimination, violence and arbitrariness such as those that are happening in Formosa puts the government, in the eyes of the world, on the edge of the authoritarian precipice ".
Titled "In defense of Democracy and Human Rights", the one requested begins with a comparison between democratic governments and dictatorships and points to the handling of cases of coronavirus and suspected infections by the government of Gildo Insfrán.
"In a democracy, human rights are not curtailed or suspended. Dictatorial regimes do so to silence opponents, curtail freedoms and perpetuate themselves in power. Silently endorsing acts of discrimination, violence and arbitrariness such as those that are happening in Formosa puts the government, in the eyes of the world, on the edge of the authoritarian precipice. "
Dura requested from Together for Change in view of the situation of the isolation centers in Formosa.
"In this framework of progress against republican freedoms, the government's propensity to concentrate power and to turn a deaf ear to the health, economic, social and educational crisis that the pandemic brought us and aggravated the political decision to impose the longest quarantine grows. of the world.
Never since 1983 our country suffered similar levels of institutional violence
. Never was so much arbitrariness and subjugation of human rights with this government which paradoxically made his defense one of its main flags "continues the text that carries signature of Patricia Bullrich, Alfredo Cornejo, Santiago Kovadloff, Juan José Campanella and Mario Negri, among others.
The scandal grew after Pietragalla assured that "there is no systematic violation of human rights in Formosa, it is almost a joke", in reference to the alleged mistreatment of those who must be isolated preventively or for having coronavirus in official centers.
"What happened in Gildo Insfrán's fiefdom during this month, and throughout 2020 in districts such as Santiago del Estero, San Luis, Tucumán and Buenos Aires, clearly show that this flag is, paradoxically, a fiction, a pure story. Those of us who participate in the culture of peace, work, education, freedom, equal opportunities, human rights and the full application of the rule of law have the obligation to reject any subjugation that affects or injures them, "continues the opposition document.
"
That the government does not confuse a chinstrap with a muzzle or despair to be vaccinated with vaccines acquired at any price, without transparency
and lacking sufficient technical specifications. Allowing human rights to be violated with impunity is delayed. It brings back memories of a country with no return that Argentines have. we vowed to leave permanently behind in 1983. "
