Argentineans sing in a nationwide act of solidarity

Buenos Aires, Dec 23 (Prensa Latina) From Buenos Aires to Patagonia, more than 340 Argentinean cities came together to sing a single song, 'Inconsciente Colectivo' composed by Charly Garcia, in an nationwide act of solidarity.

The initiative, promoted by the Red Solidaria organization, led by social entrepreneur Juan Carr, brought together hundreds of people who sang the song, which has become a collective anthem, at 20:00 hours, local time, on Sunday, in an effort to inspire acts of solidarity.

'There was a record number of transplants this year: there were 903. There are 42,000 voluntary firefighters, 11,000 collaborators in Alerta Solidaria, 54,000 blood donors. Why not celebrate it?' Carr told reporters.

'Yesterday I dreamed of the hungry, the crazy. Those who left, those who are in prison. Today I woke up singing this song. Which was already written some time ago. It is necessary to sing again. Once more,' the chorus of the song goes.

The events would have started out alright - until infiltrators sent in by Patricia Bullrich would begin throwing rocks and bricks into surrounding shops and at the demonstrators (thus sowing chaos).

And - most importantly - at the police, to provoke a violent crackdown.

Clarín and the other right-wing media outlets would've promptly shown them as "leftist protesters" - and would've wailed for the need for (you guessed it) more crackdowns.

There were a number of proven instances during the Macri years of use of the very tactic - which as you know, is almost as old as civilization itself (agents provocateurs).

Just one of several potential charges Bullrich is now likely to face. With any luck, they'll let her have house arrest - so as to not be separated from her booze.
