Rather, I think I'd say that it was a Northern Hemisphere thing. Latin American politics never really fitted into the Left-Right continuum - especially Peronism which has always been blatantly both left and right. And even in the Northern Hemisphere it seems less a straight line and more a mobius strip: the more extremely you go to the left or to the right the more you end up with the same - people picking on groups they don't like and murdering them,.
Yes, it's not just that the leading lights of LLA went to visit the prison as you say, to take photos with Alfredo Astiz, among others, but subsequently you have the government troll, Adorni, grinning and smirking as he deflects with: "It's a personal agenda of the deputies, who also don't represent the entire bloc or the Executive Branch because they are part of the Legislative Branch."
Yeah, they went apeshit overboard today, They had the steel barricades up all around both the Casa Rosada and the Hall of Congress, several blocks of streets closed off, a couple subway stations closed, and a massive number of cops out to menace those incredibly dangerous seniors, who clearly represent a serious threat to the Republic (roll eyes)
Depending on how the politics will affect those at the top, they'll either give this police corporal a medal, or use him as a fall guy; 'a "bad apple" rogue officer who overstepped his bounds.'
Wasn't Bullrich's "protocol" intended to keep the streets open? Am I missing something?
