Dark times in Argentina. Within the framework of struggle in defense of public education. The teachers go out to demand decent work conditions.

What is the response of state agencies? Threats, kidnappings and torture. A teacher, left her home at 5:00 pm, was intercepted by a red vehicle. Its occupants punched her in the stomach, placed a bag on her head and put her in the car. The captors threatened her, raised her shirt and with a pick wrote on her belly "no pots" referring to the social task of feeding in schools. After releasing her, they gave her a note with an address. This belongs to where the next pot would be. The address belongs to the cemetery of Morón. A clear threat.

Neighbors and parents bring some potatoes, onions and even hopefully some meat to make a stew with which to feed the children. The state sends insufficient food and often in a state of decomposition. The social action of the community, according to the government, is minimized as if it were "doing politics with the children", calling the teachers destabilizers, coup leaders and the most daring terrorists.

We are not talking only about food, or about wages, which are miserable. A few weeks ago a school exploded due to a gas failure taking two teachers lives that were heating milk on the morning for the kids. The students who arrived at the place half an hour later found their school fenced and the teachers' body still in the street. The cause? The provincial government closed the agency that performed the minimum maintenance that the schools received. The results were immediate, the life of two teachers was taken by the greed of a government that dismantled the state. But it is not only this, although it is not little. Some faculties are without electricity or gas, product of the brutal increases in the rates of public services. The brutal devaluation, added to the rude increases in the cost of living, was accompanied by a non-existent rise in salaries. They go three years of the administration of "Cambiemos" (change in english). Three years of hunger, violence, repression, censorship and now we add torture and threats.

The forces of repression seek to indoctrinate.
