A tribute ceremony scheduled for last Monday in Plaza Islas Malvinas, in La Plata, ended up being suspended amid incidents and acts of violence involving Kirchner demonstrators, who prevented the normal development of the activity organized by the 7th Arana Regiment.
The day, which took place during the afternoon and night as part of the traditional “March of the Torches”, was aimed at paying tribute to the veterans and those killed in the Falklands War.
The call included a military caravan that left with trucks and personnel to the place where the regiment historically operated, from where numerous soldiers left for the war.
However, when they arrived at the intersection of 19th and 51st streets, the officers encountered a group of ultra-Kirchner demonstrators and human rights organizations who began to reject their presence.The situation escalated rapidly with chants, where soldiers were even being treated as “Nazis”, booing and a climate of hostility
that led to direct aggression.According to the testimony of a person who witnessed the events, the violence of the demonstrators frustrated the act: “This act had to take place in Plaza Malvinas, and it could not be carried out thanks to CECIM La Plata, which seeks only to politically partisan everything.”
