Four women detained last night in front of Congress were released

The four women who were arrested yesterday in front of Congress in the midst of the protests against the Bases Law that is being debated in Deputies were released this Thursday morning. Our lawyers report that the Prosecutor ordered the release of the militant of our party Ivanna Bunge and other women who were detained yesterday in an irregular manner for singing the anthem in front of the National Congress and who have just regained their freedom,” the Radical Civic Union reported this morning in a post on X. As they pointed out in the statement, one of those arrested was identified as a militant of the centennial party. We thank legislator @inesparry and @lehalperin, who along with other leaders were accompanying them. The four spent the whole night unjustifiably and unnecessarily detained.— Radical Civic Union (@UCRNacional) February 1, 2024 “The four spent the whole night detained unjustifiably and unnecessarily,” said the leadership of the radicalism, while warning that the ruling party “encourages a dangerous repressive advance on those who think differently and claim peacefully.” The ruling party encourages a dangerous repressive advance against those who think differently and protest peacefully. #DemocraciaParaSiempre— Radical Civic Union (@UCRNacional) February 1, 2024 The arrest of the four women took place last night at the end of a day marked by tension and incidents in the vicinity of Congress.This morning, when they regained their freedom, the four made a disclaimer in a video that was published on Bunge’s Instagram profile.” The four of us didn’t know each other. We met when we sat down and said, ‘We can’t let all our rights be subjugated.’ Last night we didn’t have a good time, we were driving around in a van that we didn’t know where we were going to end up, we asked for information and they didn’t tell us. And we were driving inside that mobile without knowing the address,” he said. After that, the person who spoke in front of the camera highlighted the treatment they had in the mayor’s office of Madariaga, where they were housed until this morning: “Quite ugly things happened but also quite good things happened. In the last facility where we were, we were cared for, protected, assisted, but we spent 12 hours, and a little more, arrested for singing the anthem peacefully in front of Congress. Those who remember rights must imagine that this overwhelms everything.”
