The Andrés Di Pascua Brigade will carry out with the presence of the president Ferdinand Pereiraa graffiti in favor of Freedom of Expression.
The activity will begin at 8:00 am on the old gasometer located on the Rambla and Río Negro. At 12:00, the president of the Broad Front, Fernando Pereira, will be present. The activity will go until 13:00. It will also have the support of the coordinators A and B of the Broad Front. A mural will be painted in “defense of freedom of expression”.
From the Broad Front, it was expressed that in other parts of the city “murals will also be made for the same reason, based on the situation that compañeros and compañeras are experiencing for calling an act on a wall that has political and commercial graffiti and stickers. for decades.” Previously, the left-wing coalition party expressed a letter in support of two militants who were brought before the Prosecutor’s Office for “vandalizing” a wall.
In the last days of April, the Broad Front issued a document expressing its support for the militants. “We consider that this is a serious fact because it criminalizes militancy and dangerously limits freedom of expression,” the party said in a letter.
“Legal” vandalism and freedom of expression
“A simple graffiti cannot be legally classified as vandalism, on a wall that, in addition, has had political and commercial graffiti for decades,” the text continued. It was alleged from the party that “no deterioration or destruction was caused in the property.” “Freedom of expression is one of the most important pillars of the rule of law and any limitation to its exercise must be interpreted restrictively, placing in the foreground the express recognition in our Constitution and various international instruments ratified by our country.”
