A gang of Joe Lewis prevented access to Lake Escondido to the participants of the March for Sovereignty. They were intercepted and prevented from continuing to the shore of the public lake located 40 km from El Bolsón. The testimonies of those attacked and images are tremendous.
Among the injured is the National deputy, Daniel Gollan. Celste Fierro, a member of the MST, is one of the protesters who received stones, pepper spray, and whipping, which she testified about. Very tough, by the way.
The Interactive Foundation to Promote the Culture of Water (FIPCA), which organizes marches for ‘Sovereignty to Lago Escondido’, denounced the events and the number of seriously injured, who had to be transferred by ambulance. “In the vicinity of the place “El Foyel” there was an attack by rural laborers who respond to the English subject Joe Lewis, against those who demand the opening of the road from Tacuifí to the water mirror: Nicolás Villagra and Alejandro Magnin were injured” From FIPCA they maintained that Pablo Puchi, owner of the business located in the vicinity of the place, was identified among the mob: the attacker used pepper spray.
