Tension en la ciudad de Cordoba por la huelga de la CGT - Cordobazo 1969

Cordoba: Report of the journalist Andres Percivale where he comments: - "And this is the panorama on Friday, May 30 in the heart of the city of Córdoba. You are seeing a number of soldiers armed with rifles, with machine guns and even nearby cannons that are being changed of destiny ". Report to a soldier inside the truck: - Excuse me, where are you going now? -Where are they going now? - They retire, there are no more problems in the city? Then the journalist comments: - "The situation is uncertain, if you look around here taking out these trucks it might seem that the city is calm, only occasionally shots are heard, a shot of a 38 gauge revolver, of a caliber 22 that obviously belongs to a civilian, a sniper who shoots from a window on the balcony that cannot be individualized so that the apparent calm is destroyed by those spaced shots, any window can be a danger, that is the order heard here in the center of Córdoba, go inside, go inside because the curious neighbors of what is happening in their streets recklessly peeps in. The climate of the entire city of Córdoba is similar to this, I think only the words and that the images are eloquent The tear gas is falling all over the city Rioja Street, the police going back, throwing wood to prolong the fires As the fire is known to be the means of inhibit the action of tear gas. The different guilds have been distributed in different parts of the city of Córdoba to perform these acts simultaneously in lightning avoiding the police action. And tear gas bombs continue to explode. And this is the last shot we can do in the city of Córdoba since there are very few minutes left before the curfew begins that was advanced at 5 in the afternoon. 5 pm arrives and nobody can go out because it is absolutely forbidden. Here we are in this corner of Colon and Vieytes, 22 blocks from the center by chance, our car that came from the airport skewer, skewer following the many windows that are found in all the mouths of the entire city of Córdoba, is that is, not only in the center but also in the periphery of the center as is this corner. Here you see a barricade with fire, just near here sounded shots, I heard that it is very likely that the bullets were inside the pole itself, you can not see, about 10 blocks from here there are two cars on fire, one of them a white Citroen. We no longer have time to continue informing about what is happening in Córdoba but the images are eloquent. "Image soldiers with guns in the street getting on the trucks and pointing their weapons towards the buildings. Protesters gathered in a corner and barricade catching fire.
