Argentina: Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo Urge Vote for Scioli

The Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo have expressed their support for ruling party candidate Daniel Scioli and have called on Argentinians to vote for him. They are outspoken supporters of Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and the work done by her government to try crimes committed during the dictatorship of the 1970s. Leader Estela Carlotto said that if the right wing wins the elections, Colombia will go back to being a dependent country, national companies will close down, the currency will be devaluated and unemployment will rise. “We don’t want the country kneeling before the U.S.,” she said. teleSUR
