In a joint statement, a hundred civil society organizations today expressed their most “strong repudiation” of the attempted assassination of Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, as did different social and feminist associations, movements and groups.

The statement issued by more than 100 organizations highlighted that the attack on the Vice President “puts democracy at risk,” for which they demanded “clarification of what happened and effective action by the Justice Department.”

And they asked “those who represent us to act with the utmost responsibility.”

They also made “a call to the entire leadership and society as a whole” to “stop the advance of political violence and hate speech that threaten the peaceful coexistence that we have managed to build during these 40 years of democracy.”

“Since the assassination attempt against Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, the undersigned civil society organizations want to express our strong repudiation of an act that puts democracy at risk,” they maintained in the statement entitled “In defense of democracy”.
