They had knives, dogs, stones, sticks, horses, we were totally defenseless“, indicated Sverdlik in dialogue with Télam.
Nine protesters and a photojournalist were detained last Wednesday for two hours and attacked by rural laborers who respond to British magnate Joe Lewis, in an incident that occurred during the Seventh March for Sovereignty to Lago Escondido.
The reported aggression occurred when the protesters tried to enter the Camino del Tacuifí, one of the accesses to Lago Escondido, prohibited for public transit and was recorded on a video, where Sverdlik recognized himself as the one with “the Argentine shirt”.

When I go out to seek refuge in some trees, they chase me, throw whips, throw me by the backpack and a horse breastfeeds me. I fall and five people kick me, a horse steps on me and a person in a white shirt and orange pants finishes me off, “she explained.
The leader affirmed that these blows produced “bruisesand the kick in the headto “I left a bump and a bruise”.
“In my body I have a whip, the most serious is an edema in the knee from the kick of the horse and a fractured rib with displacement as a result of the kick of the person seen in the video,” he stressed.
In addition, Sverdlik denounced that “this arises from the tomography that they did in Buenos Aires, because both in El Foyel and in the El Bolsón hospital they detected absolutely nothing. The doctors said that we had nothing, that it was something minor and we came to find that the situation is much more serious than what was predicted,” he asserted.
