After the tense day that took place on Tuesday, August 22, due to the worrying dissemination of rumors of looting and acts of vandalism in different parts of the countrythe historic social leader Raúl Castells denied the criminal nature of the serious events and pointed against the Government for having suspended the supply of food to school and community canteens for 3 months. “We let you know [al Gobierno] and again ‘Don’t be silly, don’t throw the rope like that, deliver the food‘”, described the referent of the Movement Izquierda Juventud Dignidad (MIJD).
The piquetero leader maintained a telephone communication with Chronicle TV and faced with the problem of looting, he argued that the real “criminal act” is linked to the high price of foodand blamed both the Government and the owners of the hypermarkets for said circumstance.
“Whoever was speaking is lying when they say that this is a criminal act. The criminal act is that a kilo of Milanese is $4,200, a kilo of potatoes is $1,000, a kilo of sugar is $1,000, and a one-kilo packet of grass is $2,000.That’s what’s criminal. Let him say that instead of insulting the people of Argentina,” Castells said in dialogue with journalists from Chronicle.
“We are the ones who are calling for this,” Castells said of the looting
“No one is stealing anything. In Mendoza, Neuquén, Córdoba, Santa Fe, Corrientes, Chaco, Federal Capital and now in Escobar, Moreno, José C. Paz, Merlo, San Martín, Mal del Plata, etc., people are going out to search for food and, if no food is found, we, who are the ones who are calling for this, tell them that, without stealing money and without breaking anything, take what you can even if it is to exchange for food “explained the leader during the telephone interview with Chronicle TV.
“The Government has removed food from all school and community canteens throughout the country for three months. We warn them, the officials, over and over again ‘Don’t be stupid, don’t throw the rope like that, deliver the food, This is solved in 24 hours. They don’t solve it, they’re going to see the 89 thing again, the 2001 thing…”, she warned as an ultimatum.
Sergio Berni spoke of a “massive campaign” of “incitement to looting” in the Conurbano: there are at least 36 detainees
“We do not accept that the neighbors and housewives, people from the neighborhoods and others who are dating throughout the country say that they are thieves. It is an insult that they are treated as thieves instead of saying that the thieves are the ones from the Government who stole the food they had to deliver and the thieves are hypermarket owners that prices increased. Why don’t they say something about a kilo of milanesas at $4,200?” she expressed.
“Nobody is going to go to any cemetery to bury a child due to malnutrition. When hunger is law, rebellion is justice“, concluded Castells.
