TELEGRAMMA DEL PRESIDENTE PERTINI AI MILITARI ARGENTINI

« L'agghiacciante cinismo del comunicato col quale si annuncia la morte di tutti i cittadini argentini e stranieri scomparsi in Argentina nei tragici anni trascorsi sotto la dittatura militare, colloca i responsabili fuori dell'umanità civile. Esprimo lo sdegno e la protesta mia e del popolo italiano in nome degli elementari diritti umani, così crudelmente scherniti e calpestati ». 29 aprile 1983

---------

PROTESTA DEL GOVERNO ARGENTINO PRESSO IL GOVERNO ITALIANO

« Il governo della Repubblica Argentina esprime al governo della Repubblica Italiana la sua più energica protesta per le espressioni contenute nel telegramma rivolto dal signor presidente Alessandro Pertini alla giunta militare e le respinge fermamente nella loro integrità, in quanto esse sono lesive e rappresentano una evidente intromissione negli affari interni della Repubblica Argentina ». 3 maggio 1983

---------

RISPOSTA DEL PRESIDENTE PERTINI AL PRESIDENTE ARGENTINO GEN. BIGNONE

« Signor presidente, ho ricevuto il memorandum che ella mi ha fatto pervenire in seguito alla mia protesta ufficiale per i delitti contro vittime innocenti. Prima di tutto tra le vittime vi sono anche italiani: di qui il mio diritto a protestare. Secondo: l'Argentina ha firmato la Carta di San Francisco e quindi i suoi governanti devono rispondere innanzi al mondo intero di ogni loro violazione di diritti umani e civili. Inoltre mi chiedo stupito perché lei, uomo onesto e ufficiale integerrimo, voglia difendere ufficiali che con gravi misfatti hanno disonorato la divisa che lei porta con onore. Non mi interessa che altri capi di stato non abbiano sentito il dovere di protestare come ho protestato io. Peggio per loro. Ciascuno agisce secondo il suo modo di sentire. lo ho protestato e protesto in nome dei diritti civili e umani e in difesa della memoria di inermi creature vittime di morte orrenda. È tutta l'umanità che deve sentirsi ferita e offesa. Sono certo che nell'intimo del suo animo ha risonanza la mia umana parola, anche se per dovere di ufficio, acconsente che la sua diplomazia protesti per il mio legittimo e doveroso intervento ». 3 maggio 1983

I'm normal about Latinoamerica by Calle 13👍

[f--e-u-e-r-t-r-u-n-k-e--n]

Siempre inclúyanme en un post latino para odiar a EEUU, pero por qué estamos hablando en inglés? Cada vez que en un post de Sudamérica para gente de Sudamérica se habla en inglés, Kissinger toma fuerzas para revivir. Por cada comentario en inglés en este post OP tiene que escuchar una vez "El cóndor pasa" hasta que se nos laven las costumbres gringas.

Cuando un gringo intenta defender a su país diciendo que Latinoamérica no es miserable por culpa de ellos, pero yo llevo 6 años seguidos estudiando cómo la Operación Cóndor sigue afectando a todos los países sudacas:

[waltfrasescazadordepalabras]

Soy…soy lo que dejaron. Soy toda la sobra de lo que se robaron. Un pueblo escondido en la cima, mi piel es de cuero por eso aguanta cualquier clima. Soy una fábrica de humo, mano de obra campesina para tu consumo. Frente de frío en el medio del verano, El amor en los tiempos del cólera mi hermano. El sol que nace y el día que muere con los mejores atardeceres. Soy el desarrollo en carne viva, un discurso político sin saliva. Las caras más bonitas que he conocido, soy la fotografía de un desaparecido. La sangre dentro de tus venas, soy un pedazo de tierra que vale la pena. Una canasta con frijoles. Soy Maradona contra Inglaterra anotándote dos goles. Soy lo que sostiene mi bandera, la espina dorsal del planeta es mi cordillera. Soy lo que me enseñó mi padre: él que no quiere a su patria no quiere a su madre. Soy América Latina, un pueblo sin piernas pero que camina. [Tú no puedes comprar el viento, tú no puedes comprar el sol Tú no puedes comprar la lluvia, tú no puedes comprar el calor Tú no puedes comprar las nubes, Tú no puedes comprar los colores. Tú no puedes comprar mi alegría, tú no puedes comprar mis dolores…] Tengo los lagos, tengo los ríos, tengo mis dientes para cuando me sonrío. La nieve que maquilla mis montañas, tengo el sol que me seca y la lluvia que me baña. Un desierto embriagado con peyote, un trago de Pulque para cantar con los coyotes. Todo lo que necesito, tengo a mis pulmones respirando azul clarito. La altura que sofoca, soy las muelas de mi boca mascando coca. El otoño con sus hojas desmayadas, los versos escritos bajo la noche estrellada. Una viña repleta de uvas, un cañaveral bajo el sol en Cuba. Soy el mar caribe que vigila las casitas haciendo rituales de agua bendita. El viento que peina mi cabello, soy todos los santos que cuelgan de mi cuello. El jugo de mi lucha no es artificial porque el abono de mi tierra es natural. [Tú no puedes comprar el viento, tú no puedes comprar el sol Tú no puedes comprar la lluvia, tú no puedes comprar el calor Tú no puedes comprar las nubes, tú no puedes comprar los colores. Tú no puedes comprar mi alegría, tú no puedes comprar mis dolores…] Trabajo bruto, pero con orgullo aquí se comparte…lo mío es tuyo. Este pueblo no se ahoga con marullos y si se derrumba, yo lo reconstruyo Tampoco pestañeo cuando te miro para que te acuerdes de mi apellido La Operación Cóndor invadiendo mi nido perdono, pero nunca olvido Vamos caminando (Aquí se respira lucha) Vamos caminando (Yo canto porque se escucha…) Vamos dibujando el camino Vamos caminando (Aquí estamos de pie) QUE VIVA LATINOAMÉRICA

Is there any way we can help with the whole situation in your country, aside from just art? For those of us that don't live there, is there any sort of donation we can make, petition to sign, local representative to ask to take action? I'd really love to help in any way I can but I don't know how.

Just don't stop talking about us. Don't forget this is the USA's fault too. We don't have donations and we don't need to be saved, we just need you to be anti imperialist in your own countries because this is just a second Operación Cóndor. Stay informed.

I really am not a fan of the idea that a petition or request to a representative made by gringos can do everything for us. I know that's all you guys are told you can do, but please think about rallying for human rights. Make legit noise, protest, break shit. thank you for the interest, I'm happy you thought to ask.

¡El Pueblo Unido jamás será vencido!

[encrucijada]

on a regular basis i am an adamant usa hater. it gets worse around your stupid elections because then you are fucking everywhere. you probably don't even know my president's name but you will fill my dashboard with with liberal and republican bullshit (bet you don't even know the names of Our political parties). you can't spot me on a map and yet i am expected to care. tag your posts. get off my dash

google how do i fucking block any and all mentions of the usa elections i am exhausted

[orfeolookback]

¡Hola!

¿Hay recursos que recomiendes para leer y aprender más sobre que esta occuriendo en argentina? He leido su post de fascismo en su país, y, como un estadounidense, quiero ayudar, pero no sé exactamente qué esta occuriendo en más detalle o qué puedo hacer para ayudar.

(puede responder en ingles o español, este mensaje es en español porque trato communicar más en español, lo siento si hay errores)

I'll answer in English since the post was in English. Thank you for reaching out!

Unlike many other crisis, we don't have a place for donations. You can help by organizing in your own country, being anti-capitalist and making sure the right doesn't spread elsewhere. If you live in the USA you can join strikes, rallies and protests, and anti fascist groups locally. Unionize. Demand rights. Reject US intervention. When Musk buys shit, boycott him, organize against him. Support Indigenous people's fight for Land Back and make sure no billionaire buys their land In your own country first. When you hear the people in power talking about Argentina (or any country!) as 'an important asset' make sure there's outrage.

I won't share sources that are easily digestible. If you really want to be educated, you can read about Operación Cóndor, read The Open Veins of Latin America by Eduardo Galeano, watch 1985 (a movie about the last dictatorship's aftermath) and read through the comments of my post, lots of people linked articles. Most sources will be in Spanish.

If you really REALLY want to immediately support Argentina financially, support Argentinian businesses. If you commission artists often, consider us. If there's an Argentinian band you like, buy their stuff. I won't pretend like this will do much but a single dollar is 1000 Argentinian pesos, so you might change someone's month just with 10 dollars. I make a living through my art, personally.

Thank you for the interest, have a nice weekend

[prontaentrega]

i think its weird how people bring up open veins when anyone mentions us inverventionism in latam especially when talking about operación cóndor/the cold war era coups because like. Open Veins of Latin América is a book about how economy is linked to colonialism and imperialism in latin america and it was published in 1971 before operación cóndor even started. Like it is a good book and mandatory reading for understanding the political and economic context of latam but it is specifically Not about the assassination of salvador allende (happened 2 years after the book was published) or the argentinian dictatorship (happened 5 years after the book was published) etc and if someone asked you for a book to learn about all that then open veins is not it

Latinoamérica (Calle 13)

Aquí se comparte, lo mío es tuyo/Este pueblo no se ahoga con marullos/Y si se derrumba, yo lo reconstruyo/Tampoco pestañeo cuando te miro/Para que te recuerde' de mi apellido/La Operación Cóndor invadiendo mi nido/Perdono, pero nunca olvido, ¡oye!/(Vamos caminando) Aquí se respira lucha

"This song is in spanish, so I don't know if it'll get in (I sent in a video with english subtitles, if it helps), but it's probably the only song that makes me cry literally EVERY TIME I listen to it. This text is a very long and corny, I'm sorry. Feel free to ignore. I'm latin american, and the thing is, you grow up hearing of all of the problems that happen in your country and neighbouring countries. From our history as former colonies (and all of the issues this still causes in our current societies), to corruption, to the massive exploitation we still go through from first world countries. When you're young you struggle with how you see yourself and your people, because media (ESPECIALLY foreign media) talks about us as if we are worth less, and that sentiment is doubled if they're talking about immigrants. As you grow up, it's easier to see the nuance in this sentiment, and to acknowledge that THERE ARE good things about our countries, even if a foreign someone doesn't see it. Even with all of these issues, I LOVE my country. I love latinamerican people. I love our culture, I love our traditions, I love how we are always trying to turn our situation around, how we try to improve and support each other, how we continue walking foward even if that is difficult. This song, from Calle 13, is a celebration to Latin America. It points out our painful history and some of the issues we go through now, but it focuses on how we persevere. About being proud of your roots. AGUANTE LATINOAMÉRICA!"

In The Hall Of The Mountain King (Edvard Grieg)

"It's like, THE OG fuck-you-up song. Starts off calm and ramps up to be fucking insane. Anxiety incarnate. Imagine being one of the first people to listen to this back in the 1800s, I would've had a heart attack"

[that-purple-creature]

Look I bet you have a lot of "kys" anons in your inbox right now, so just to start of this is not one of those messages. If you're feeling overwhelmed by those, I think the best think you can do is log off and go on a walk. Remember that these are people who don't know you, they just have an idea of you based off of one thing you've said.

I saw the post that someone reposted your tags on, and since you seem kinda young I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt and explain what people are so upset about.

The US has a long history of exploiting Latin America's resources and meddling in their politics. Look up "Operación Cóndor" and "Banana Wars" for some particularly egregious examples. The current reality of USAmerican food imports is that we get a lot of our food from large companies such as Chiquita Banana, Dole (both were participants in the Banana Wars), and Driscoll's. I'll be talking about Driscoll's mostly because that's the one I know the most about.

Driscoll's sell berries, but they don't actually own the farms they grow the berries on. They enter into a contract with farmers where Driscoll's provides the seedlings and the materials needed to produce berries to their exacting specifications. The issue with this contract is that farmers don't own the plants they grow. In fact, they're copyrighted by Driscoll's. What ends up happening is that Driscoll's gets the majority of the profits, and these farmers get pennies on the dollar. It's reminiscent of sharecropping in the US, where poor black families who just gained their freedom had no choice but to rent land from white plantation owners and give them the food they farmed to pay rent. A lot of Driscoll's farmers are located in the American Southwest and Northern Mexico.

Driscoll's is only one example. The issue is that the tropical and out-of-season foods that we take for granted exist because of this system. Having access to bananas year-round is only possible because of worker exploitation. Saying you'd rather remain in ignorance of the issue than lose access to your safe foods is insensitive.

(Also, you may want to reconsider sharing your age online. You have no obligation to tell anyone anything about you.)

I actually have very few people telling me to stop existing, which I am thankful for. It's mostly just informational, though you're the only not-anon in my inbox.

Anyway; Thank you for the information, that was great /gen. I was surprised that we actually do have Driscoll's where I live, although I've literally never bought from them because I live near quite a few massive pick-your-own farms. I was aware of the US's weird nonsense in Latin America, though not to what extent, entirely.

I don't even live there, so the way your/their food is produced is not very relevant to me, especially since it seems most of the fruit we get from wherever during off-seasons are completely flavourless and nobody really buys them, so I was kind of sitting here in blissful ignorance with bananas from Queensland sitting on my kitchen bench and wondering if they're produced with slavery too, or if it's just the migrant workers Pauline Hanson complains about so often.

(It feels like they probably are so I'm glad I don't eat bananas.)

Apologies if this reply felt late, I just woke up and time zones are wierd things.

Argentina, 1985 (Santiago Mitre, 2022)

[bagofbonesmp3]

si actuamos rápido podemos repatriar a Robert de Niro a argentina. esto es por la operación cóndor yanquis de mierda!!! se llama Roberto ahora, tiene 12 nietos y es de san lorenzo

[lucianinsanity]

Wait, unironically what did the us do to Argentina 40 years ago?

Operation Condor (Portuguese: Operação Condor; Spanish: Operación Cóndor) was a United States-backed campaign of political repression and state terrorism, involving intelligence operations, CIA-backed coups, as well as assassinations of left-wing sympathizers, liberals and democrats and their families in South America which formally existed from 1975 to 1983. Operation Condor was officially and formally implemented in November 1975 by the right-wing dictatorships of the Southern Cone of South America.

It is estimated that between 22,000 and 30,000 people were killed or disappeared, many of whom were impossible to formally document due to the nature of state terrorism; however, Argentine military intelligence at the time estimated that 22,000 people had been murdered or disappeared by 1978. The primary target, like in many other South American countries participating in Operation Condor, were communist guerrillas and sympathisers, but the target of Operation Condor also included students, militants, trade unionists, writers, journalists, artists and any citizens suspected of being left-wing activists. The disappeared included those thought to be a political or ideological threat to the junta, even vaguely, or those seen as antithetical to the neoliberal economic policies dictated by Operation Condor.

According to human rights organisations in Argentina, between 1,900 and 3,000 Jews were among the 30,000 who were targeted by the Argentine military junta. It is a disproportionate number, as Jews comprised between 5–12% of those targeted but only 1% of the population. All were killed in an attempt by the junta to silence social and political opposition.

By the 1980s, economic collapse, public discontent, and the disastrous handling of the Falklands War resulted in the end of the junta and the restoration of democracy in Argentina, effectively ending the Dirty War. Many members of the junta are currently in prison for crimes against humanity and genocide. The Dirty War left a profound impact on Argentine culture, which is still felt to this day.

Sorry for taking this directly from wikipedia, I'm not good with words in English when I get agitated and it's a topic that agitates me 😅
