Argentina, DAIA trial. Bodart: “This acquittal is a very important victory”

At the exit of the Buenos Aires Criminal Court No. 8, and after reading the sentence with his acquittal, the leftist leader Alejandro Bodart (MST-FITU) and coordinator of theInternational Socialist League, he pointed: “This ruling is a very important victory. They couldn't silence us. With the extraordinary defense of my lawyers María del Carmen Verdú and Ismael Jalil, the quality contribution of all our witnesses and enormous solidarity in the country and internationally, They issued my acquittal in this instance. “This is an enormous achievement against the gag that Zionism and its spokesmen want to impose in the defense of the Palestinian cause.”.

Bodart added: “It is a judicial ruling that recognizes that defending the just cause of the Palestinian people and denouncing the genocide unleashed by the State of Israel is not a crime.”, but an obligation within the framework of being able to exercise the legitimate right to freedom of expression without bandages or muzzle. The DAIA tried to set a precedent that all of us who defend the Palestinian cause and denounce a genocide could be judged under the falsehood that we are anti-Semitic.. They could not do it or prove any of those falsehoods. And now, although Zionism will surely appeal the ruling, We have a ruling that agrees with us and we are going to disseminate this step achieved. Which is a triumph for all of us who support the Palestinian people, and that is why we come out with much more strength to continue demanding that the genocide stop and that Palestine be free, “from the river to the sea”.
