Andres Percivale cubriendo los sucesos del Cordobazo 1969

Cordoba: Report by the journalist Andres Percivale where he comments: - "This is the capital of Córdoba, in the center, Rivera Indarte and La Rioja, here the metalworking workers have made a barricade and have lit fires. The police are currently retreating in this place. So far there are two wounded, Flores wounded by a bullet in the right leg and Hernandez wounded in the shoulder, both hospitalized very seriously. I think there is one more wounded. This is the corner of Rivadavia and Catamarca, from very early this morning many trucks from the municipality have been transferred to the police of the province of the federal capital and also to the gendarmerie and they are patrolling the entire city of Córdoba with machine guns. However at 11 am all the workers have left their work and they have come through different avenues very well organized towards the city center owned by different sectors such as this one, for example, they were expanded in such a way over the entire city of Có rdoba that the police, even with the help of the municipal trucks, cannot cope with this action that we are seeing. On that corner, for example, along one of the side streets a police squad with tear gas is approaching, carrying out fire to counter the action of tear gas and holding Argentine flags. This is the panorama that the city of Córdoba presents on May 29, 1969 at noon. "Image with barricades on the street. Men gathered in the streets. Barricade with fire.

Just 100 meters from here, there, the police alert with tear gas. "Image with mounted police officers patrolling the street. Police pointing their guns. Protesters perched on the roof of a building.
