Attack against the Argentine vice president
Argentina experienced a shocking event on the night of Thursday, September 1, with the attempted assassination of Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, when a man pointed a gun at her forehead that did not fire.
The Steering Committee of the Latin American Council of Social Sciences expresses its solidarity with the former two-time president of Argentina and warns that such events seriously endanger not only the lives of popular leaders in our region but also the democratic system itself, which obscurantist forces seek to undermine through hate speech, media violence, the lies of lawfare, and proscriptions.
The people, through their participation and mobilization, are more determined than ever to form a bulwark capable of halting the advance of the right wing, which, what it cannot achieve at the ballot box, attempts through destabilization, hatred, and violence.
Let us defend democracy, let us defend life, every day and in every corner of Our America.
