In spite of the warning, he assured D'Elía, they decided to face the repression. He was for that reason, said, that, unlike other times, they did not take children with them.

"we warned to Them the boys, because we had noise of inside of which was going to have repression and that was going to be very hard. (But) there are boys there inside (of the Piquetero Block) who have another vision of the thing. They knew that it was going to have problems and their political objective era to finish in the seat requesting the destitution of Duhalde. It prioritized that ", said D'Elía.

- Information ' of entered means of inside of the Government?

An adviser of D'Elía needed that the warning was done to "a union leader related to the Communist Party", to which trusted who had warned to them what was going to happen.

The spokesmen of the Piquetero Block consulted by the NATION did not confirm the communication of D'Elía, but they admitted that they knew that he was going to have repression. Raul Castells, Retired and Vacated leader of the Independent Movement of, said, through his wife Nina, who "is lie" that D'Elía has warned to them: "We officially knew it by the national government, who comes it saying from the last week".

Ready Nicholas, of the Coordinator Aníbal Verón, said to not know any communication of D'Elía - with who "we have very hard differences" - but admitted that "we knew that he was going to be a very hard repression".

D'Elía, leader of the organization Federation Earth and House, that Integra the Power station of Argentine Trabajadores (CTA), is allied, in the universe of the piqueteros, with the grouping that Juan leads Carlos Alderete, of the Current Clasista and Combativa (CCC). They maintain the dialogue with the Government open, who institutionally recognized them like representatives of the unemployed people, but have a tactically important position on how the social plans for unemployed people are implemented.

Authoritarianism

D'Elía maintains that there are groups that cause a "authoritarian exit" to the crisis, of that the own Duhalde would be contributor. For a long time it has been maintaining that, if Duhalde sees "cornered" by the economic crisis and the internal fights of the PJ, it will encourage a situation of social chaos. Think that that moment has arrived, because it gives by discounted the failure of the present mission of the minister of Economy, Roberto Lavagna, before the IMF.

"They are sectors that they want to justify the authoritarianism, the repression, to take to more economic right, to the dolarización. That is to say, a (Carlos) Menem ", added.

But, asked the NATION, seems possible to him that Duhalde has decided to favor to Menem, its adversary, against its own interests? "you do not forget that this happens two days after the Menem-Duhalde meeting", it answered. One talked about to the encounter of Monday in the Rioja, in which the ex- president and the present one as soon as they occurred the hand.
