Repression of the father Chueco

Father Chueco is arrested after being repressed alongside Father Paco during the weekly march held by Argentine retirees demanding better pensions, drug coverage, and an end to repression. Every Wednesday, retirees gather in front of Congress to protest. Various groups come to support their demands. In this case, priests from “Opción por los pobres” (Option for the Poor) accompanied the protest and were violently repressed with tear gas, pepper spray, and beatings. There were almost 100 injuries. Since Milei took office, retirees have been repressed at the hands of Security Minister Patricia Bullrich. In recent months, access to the area surrounding Congress has been increasingly restricted, with the police themselves blocking nearby streets and preventing free movement.
