The attack on the Mother of Plaza de Mayo’s radio station comes recenly after the group’s leader said that new President Macri is “worse than a dictator.”


The radio station of Argentine nongovernmental organization Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo was attacked Thursday, the group reported via Twitter.

The Mothers’ leader, award-winning peace activist Hebe de Bonafini, may face an investigation by authorities for “inciting collective violence” after she called for protests to coincide with the inauguration of the country’s new president, Mauricio Macri.

Four people physically attacked one person in the Radio Madre AM 530 building and vandalized the building with eggs. The group announced that this is one of many threats, including death threats, its members have received.

Since Macri was sworn in Dec. 10, Bonafini has been extremely vocal in speaking out against the right-wing president’s package of proposed neoliberal reforms, and has especially criticized his recent gutting of the country’s progressive media law, which had sought to end private media monopolies.
