The repression was carried out by the Metropolis Police, which moved in opposition to the demonstration organized after Javier Milei’s administration introduced that subsequent month it might not renew at the least a thousand contracts and would empty whole places of work each in several cities and within the headquarters that the INTI is positioned on the border between the Federal Capital and the province of Buenos Aires.
“On the INTI we certify bulletproof vests for individuals who come to repress us,” reproached one of many professionals of the group in disaster. “We staff who usually are not armed with State cash are being repressed as if nothing had occurred.

For a number of minutes, the employees minimize that artery with rubber bands and plastic fences. At first, the Metropolis Police intervened to discourage the reducing, however a couple of minutes later a platoon of Gendarmerie arrived and stood head to head in entrance of the employees.
Minutes later and with out ready for the outcomes of the dialogue between the pinnacle of ATE-Capital, Daniel Catalano, with one of many officers in command of the operation, the Buenos Aires Ministry of Safety headed by Waldo Wolff ordered the infantry to advance in opposition to the protest.
The officers pushed the gathering in the direction of the collector, throwing pepper spray and hitting the protesters with their batons.
The stress continued. The employees threw stones on the troops who continued spraying them with gasoline till the cordon of protesters was pushed behind the collector.
Wolff welcomed the motion of the Police. “As we all the time say: display sure, block the road, no,” he mentioned and careworn that they’re “making use of the regulation.”
