The deputy to the National Assembly (AN) Blanca Eekhout, member of the Venezuela-Argentina Parliamentary Friendship Group; demanded this Wednesday the release of the activist Milagros Sala in the framework of the commemoration of the 207 years of the Independence of Argentina.
"We celebrate with the young Argentines, the men and women who fill the Plaza de Mayo, praying for the disappeared. Today we celebrate with the Mothers, the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo. We celebrate demanding justice for Milagros Sala, for the Indigenous people who must break the chains that colonialism has imposed on this land," Eekhout said during the regular session of the National Assembly.
Similarly, he urged Latin American unity, in order to conquer the struggles promoted by San Martín, Che Guevara, Eva Perón, among others.
"Those chains we broke more than 200 years ago are more relevant today than ever. Breaking the chains and building our independence comes from the unity of our people," he emphasized.
It should be remembered that Milagro Sala has been detained since January 16, 2016 and, since then, requests from different organizations for their freedom.
President Alberto Fernández asserted that, in the trial against Sala, the rule of law had been breached.
“In a rule of law, justice must work differently. I ask the judges of Jujuy and the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation, to please put aside the theories and doctrines that were spread in the years of the Government prior to ours," he wrote on the social network Twitter, after visiting the leader when she was hospitalized.
Living Room faces another trial, which is based on the story of Alejandro Pilo Mansilla, a former member of Tupac Amaru –previously imprisoned for a kidnapping for extortion– who in 2017 agreed to denounce an event from 2009 before prosecutor Diego Cussel: the alleged disappearance and destruction of a file unrelated to Sala
