To defend social bonds and mutual recognition, which democracy should mean. Image shared by the march organizing committee. Now they are simply leftist, scum, impoverishing, perverted, sick, mental parasite, aberration, mandrill, pedophile, etc. We are not in a dictatorship, no. Nor in a democracy when the government rules by decree, when the executive branch refuses to comply with laws passed twice, such as the disability emergency law, abandoning vulnerable people and entire families to their fate, when they criminalize and repress social protest: every Wednesday we see how they beat and gas the elderly. The Secretariat of State Intelligence (SIDE) is given superpowers, migrants are expelled, people living on the street are treated like trash, it is celebrated that stealing a cell phone can get a sentence of over a decade at just 13 years old, while education is cut, the dream of accessing a university or technical school to learn a trade is being eroded. The government, governors, and complicit senators and deputies intend to pass a labor reform that hits the entire working class. In memory of Fernanda Arias, also murdered in a police station in Salta last December, just for being a trans woman. For each and every one of those who have been violently attacked for being who they are, sexual dissidents, in a year 2025 in which violence against us multiplied, while budgets for the prevention and care of these same violences were cut. It must be made clear that this mobilization is also against the imperialism of Donald Trump, against military aggression against Venezuela and the Caribbean and his threat to continue incursioning in other territories, as if the world were his real estate business. Trump out of Latin America and the Caribbean! This mobilization is also a denunciation of the genocide perpetrated in Palestine, where the State of Israel continues to kill and against the imperialist plans of colonization over its territory. Free Palestine, from the river to the sea. At the start of this year, we are going to march again against the politics of discard, programmed against all those identities we have described and that supposedly threaten that fiction of purity, the 'good Argentines,' that this government encourages and that translates into deaths from trigger-happy police like Juan González and Víctor Vargas, murdered by Macri's police, also last December. Discard is also hunger, the abandonment of those who do not produce enough for the increasingly concentrated capitalism, in five demonstrators with mutilated eyes for exercising their right to protest, in increasingly heavy loads for those who care. We are going to march again in Río Negro, Neuquén, in several cities in the province of Buenos Aires, in the autonomous city of Buenos Aires, in Rosario, Córdoba, capital, the Valle de Punilla, in Chaco, in Misiones, in Formosa, in Mendoza, in Salta, in Corrientes, in Entre Ríos, in Tierra del Fuego, with the rage and power of being with others on the streets, fighting for what we want and against what we don't want. No one is superfluous here, no life is disposable. Against labor reform, general strike. No to lowering the age of criminal responsibility. No to the reform of the glaciers law. Down with decrees 61 and 62/2025 that endanger trans lives. Historical reparation for the travesti-trans population. Fulfillment of the labor quota for trans people, the labor quota for people with disabilities, and the emergency disability law. We demand the repeal of DNU 366/25 that modifies migration law 25.871 and we reject all anti-migrant policies in the face of fascism: struggle and solidarity», concludes.
This is not an anniversary, then, nor a reminder of what we did together last year. This mobilization to which we call with the entire political arc of opposition to this government, with unions, feminist social organizations, organizations of people in street situations, anti-punitive groups, collectives that defend water, that denounce ecocide, student centers, collectives and LGBTQNB+ organizations is a new way to set limits to the fascist, extractivist, and colonial voracity of this government. Image shared by the march organizing committee. That is why on the 7th we will again fill the streets against labor reform and the day the law is treated, that the senators know: we are watching. We need a general strike and massive mobilization. But we do know, as a people that has survived the genocide perpetrated by the last civic-military dictatorship, that it is very fascist the strategy of dehumanizing in order to later eliminate or, in this time, also let die. Just as first they turned social fighters into just subversives, into germs that attacked the social body of a Western and Christian Argentina, while in the concentration camps of the dictatorship torturers and genocides were blessed, to then disappear them, imprison them, murder them; so it is now, when they seek to impose dehumanization and the characterization of threat to the 'good Argentines,' as the president recites, on some identities: those of sexual dissidents, poor and racialized people, social organizations that sustain the life of popular dining rooms, migrants, feminists, especially trans and travesti people, people with disabilities, retirees and anyone who needs the support of the State to lead a dignified life. With the memory of Sofía Fernández, a trans comrade murdered in a police station in Pilar. We put the shout where it had to be put: in a collective call to organize. The entire people heard the call to defend the coexistence consensus, in difference, built over 40 years of democracy. We now share the transcript of the press conference. By ANRed. «We named her commander of the butterflies, because she always repeated that 'in a world full of capitalist worms, you have to have a lot of courage to be a butterfly'. How are we not going to be anti-fascists? How are we not going to be anti-racists? Loana was and is an example of political construction, of courage and of tenderness. When those policies are sought to be copied in our country turning the category of migrant almost into a synonym of criminal? How not to be anti-racist when indigenous peoples are treated as terrorists with the suspicion that they are not what they say? The Patagonia is on fire, but before putting out those fires, the peoples who ancestrally defend the forests, the water, the land, and all of nature are accused. This call for a second anti-racist, anti-fascist march. We miss her and her example burns in our struggles. Last year, the first Saturday of February, a few days after Javier Milei said in Davos, 'they are pedophiles,' to refer to LGBTNB+ people, hundreds of people took to the streets of our country and some cities in the world to respond that we were not going to tolerate his fascist methods of turning some identities into scapegoats to turn them into a moving target for the social violence that the president, his cabinet, his security forces and their henchmen promote, who lie and rant every day from social networks. In two assemblies we organized the first anti-fascist, anti-racist, LGTBIQ+ pride march, to start the 2025 political year with a transversal call to put a brake on the libertarian government and its speeches of hate. A young black activist. Racism kills and in 2026 it will be 30 years of impunity for this case. More information at: https://www.anred.org/5-de-abril-29-anos-del-asesinato-de-jose-delfin-acosta-martinez-a-manos-de-la-policia/ We call to put a limit to the judicial and repressive persecution of activists and political leaders, of the people who protest. It affects us doubly since we have the most precarious jobs and they will want to throw the labor quota for trans people out the window, among other rights we have conquered. It was last Thursday, February 5, at the headquarters of the Center for Legal and Social Studies (Piedras 574), at 11:00, where the 10th anniversary of the death of Lohana Berkins, a travesti activist, an untiring fighter for the rights of trans, travesti, and transsexual people, was commemorated. The president aligns himself with the United States, licks Donald Trump's boots and created a masked shock force to kidnap. Despite everything she fought for, she did not manage to survive to the average age that the travesti and trans population lives and lives. We accompany the workers in the struggle for the defense of their jobs, from the workers of the Garraham who resist the finalization of the summaries until the discriminatory dismissals as in Lustramaxo in the SUBTE. Solidarity with all struggles! Image shared by the march organizing committee. Anti-fascists, yes; and not because we believe that this government is the same as Mussolini's or any other 20th-century fascism. Photography: Gala Abramovich. And to remember also that in Argentina it is the only country in all of Latin America and the Caribbean that has a condemnation from the Inter-American Court of Human Rights since 2020 for the case of Trigger Happy José Delfín Acosta Martínez. Photography: Gala Abramovich. And we call ourselves anti-fascists, anti-racists. imprison, deport and also kill migrants and those who defend them. It was not only lesbians, travestis, gays, bisexuals, non-binaries, trans or queers who took to the streets. Image shared by the march organizing committee. Photography: Gala Abramovich. We live in a climate of fascism. This Saturday, February 7, they call to march from Congress to Plaza de Mayo at 5:00 p.m., but the calls extend throughout the country: 'We are going to march again in Río Negro, Neuquén, in several cities in the province of Buenos Aires, in the autonomous city of Buenos Aires, in Rosario, Córdoba, capital, the Valle de Punilla, in Chaco, in Misiones, in Formosa, in Mendoza, in Salta, in Corrientes, in Entre Ríos, in Tierra del Fuego and with the rage and power of being with others on the streets, fighting for what we want and against what we don't want'. This second mobilization will take place with the memory of Samuel Tobares, murdered by blows in December by the Córdoba police shouting 'take it faggot'. Photography: Gala Abramovich. The press conference for the 2nd March of LGTBIQNB+ Antifascist and Anti-Racist Pride was held.
