-Caveat Lector- This news are from my country. The opressive economy policy during former president Carlos "hijo de remil puta" Menem (Bush friend) and Fernando (imbécil) de la Rúa with the "butcher" FMI brought us to this caos.
God save my country, I m very sad because we re walking on a thin wire ....

Half of the deaths were in the suburbs of the capital, said police, who estimated 20,000 people took part in the looting and thousands of others demanded food handouts at grocery stores. Some were shot dead by shopkeepers defending their shops. On Wednesday, police said at least four people had died as thousands of looters sacked supermarkets in Buenos Aires, its suburbs and several provinces in rage against deepening austerity and poverty spurred famished slum dwellers to take matters into their own hands. Police fired rubber bullets and tear gas to scatter the looters. Some 1,210 people were arrested for looting in the outskirts of Buenos Aires, provincial police said. Protests overnight in front of the presidential palace and Congress were dispersed by police who fired tear gas at crowds of mainly peaceful demonstrators. A dozen banks and restaurants as well as the Israeli Embassy in the city's center were vandalized during the overnight violence, police added. ``Everything is a mess. There's no work and the situation is deteriorating. I was here protesting peacefully last night and they tear gassed us,'' one protester said at Plaza de Mayo in front of the presidential palace. Demonstrators returned to the presidential palace by mid-morning on Thursday and riot police armed with truncheons arrested dozens of protesters who yelled insults or demanded that President Fernando de la Rua resign. Police managed to clear the square but cars driving around the presidential palace blared horns and drummed pots and pans. Many supermarkets in the heavily populated suburbs of Buenos Aires remained closed. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
