A massive turnout is expected this Wednesday at 5 PM in front of the National Congress, and probably in other locations across the country. The call has been joined by sports celebrities such as "Negro" Héctor Enrique, world champion in Mexico '86, coach Fernando Signorini (who was Diego Maradona's physical trainer) and Ángel Cappa, among others. Fans and motorcyclists are organizing to support the retirees.
“Drowning man's punch” the aggressions from right-wing sectors. Following the viralization of the call and a video where fans from different clubs invite people to support the mobilization on Wednesday, right-wing sectors started to attack those calling for a protest. Against this dispersion, the mobilization continues: fans from different clubs will meet wearing their jerseys to support those who should never have been left alone.
The call is for this Wednesday the 12th at 5 PM in front of the National Congress, but many organizations are calling for local gatherings beforehand to go from there. They were the first to face Bullrich's repressive protocol. Aggressions have already started from official sectors. By ANRed. After the initial videos of the call went viral, it also spread to stadiums on the date of the football matches.
A government that, in the face of embarrassment, seeks to cover up news by generating another unfortunate story pointing to dispersion and amnesia. The aggressions are merely a show of impotence against a call that grows as Wednesday approaches. Retirees marching on December 20, 2023. Videos are going viral on social media as support and sectors joining in multiply. From a tweet by Patricia Bullrich attacking women who protested last Saturday to a post by "La Derecha Diario", a media outlet close to this government that even lacks originality in its name, published an article saying that those calling were "Kirchnerist gang members".
In the photo appeared Agustín Ramal, who is neither a gang member nor Kirchnerist: Agustín was president of the student center of Normal 7 and is currently studying at the University of Quilmes, in addition to being active in the youth of the Workers' Party. Agustín received numerous expressions of support from his peers, but also from his father, economist Marcelo Ramal, on social media X. In response to the denial that shows the journalistic poverty of that outlet, the answer was more violence and brutality: publishing disdainfully that "the effeminate fan of Argentinos is the son of Marcelo Ramal", reaffirming the discriminatory profile of those who govern and their supporters.
After the presence of Chacarita fans the previous Wednesday and new repression, fans from all clubs began to join and call for the next mobilization. The aggressions from trolls commenting on the posts are common currency, but in this case, other expressions began to emerge. It also spread across the 8M mobilization and became a topic of conversation in thousands of homes and gatherings.
