Argentina, October 8, 2012

During the early hours of yesterday, a bomb exploded in front of the Waste Collectors Guild of Rosario, located in La Paz 1471. Within the same local headquarters functions the Guild led by Hugo Moyano, head of the CGT. Police sources said the attackers left pamphlets against the leader of the labor union.

The building suffered an attack that caused no major damage, but it was interpreted as a warning to the people of Hugo Moyano.

The blast occurred around 1 am, as some locals said. Meanwhile, staff Explosives Brigade UR II found that the explosion had produced only minor damage.

The device was made of PVC plastic pipe, which had placed inside homemade explosive fuses.

In the flyers, the legends called for “more dignity for workers” and added “Moyano leave Santa Fe”.

From the Collectors’ Union condemned the attack and said they advocate “for a thorough investigation of it.”
