ARGENTINA: Opposition seeks to exploit incidents of lynchings
On 22 March an eighteen-year old thief was beaten to death after grabbing a purse from a woman in the city of Rosario. Since then, a further 11 cases of vigilante justice have gained nationwide attention, leading to condemnation from a supreme court judge, the national security secretary and President Cristina Fernández. Opposition leaders, such as federal deputy Sergio Massa and the mayor of Buenos Aires, Mauricio Macri, have blamed the rise in mob violence on the alleged incompetence and indifference of the government.
