Argentina Grassroots Protest Bush Latam Visit

Argentinean grassroots organizations support Friday Brazil and Uruguay peoples´ repudiation of US President George W. Bush´s tour of Latin American countries.

"We support protests carried out by brother peoples from Brazil and Uruguay as part of social transformation processes in our continent and the presence of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez in Argentina", indicates the release.

The text states that the arrival to Latin American soil of the US president, responsible for the terrorist war in the Middle East and the larger problems of starvation and destruction in that devastated continent, will be repudiated with protests in Brazil and Uruguay.

Organizations like "Casa de la Memoria," "Cimientos", "Colectivo de Cultura and Accion Popular Libres del Sur", "Convergencia", "Corriente de Izquierda Socialista" and the Jose Marti Front stand together in their anti-Bush posture.

According to signers, his tour is to "seal bilateral accords separately with different Latin American countries to recover lost influence after the neoliberal crisis in the continent".

Parallel to Bush´s tour of Latin America is Venezuela´s President Hugo Chavez´ visit to Argentina.
