by time news

A violent image left this Thursday the Summit of the Americas that takes place in Los Angeles, when a pro-abortion activist was violently approached by staff of secret services from United States. for demonstrating in front of the caravan that was transporting Joe Biden.

In the video that went viral on Twitter, it is seen how the woman faces the vehicle that transported the US president to demonstrate and everything becomes a big mistake.

An agent comes from behind, he grabs her tightly and runs to the other side of the street. Then he throws her to the ground violently and until he slaps her.

The woman, in a desperate attempt to get rid of him, takes off his hat and glasses. She loses the cell phone that she carries in her hand, and his clothes become rags in the violent struggle.

A witness to the scene -curiously with a skateboard in hand– arrives to ask the agents to leave her and, incidentally, grabs the megaphone with which the protester was protesting: it was lying next to the Dantesque scene.

Get the fuck off of me” (something like “Don’t touch me”, but said in a bad way), the young woman yells at them while they handcuff her.

The violent police intervention try to be justified by mistrust before the presidential security in the same way that the excesses of the agents have aroused hordes of protests for attacks and even black men crimes believed criminals.

Abortion is a matter of debate in the country of Biden before the imminent presumption that the Supreme Court -with a conservative profile- rules against its legality and in the midst of an escalation of women’s protests against the limitations already installed in different states.

In a theater full of guests, Latin American music and mariachis, the President of the United States, Joe Biden, formally opened the IX Summit of the Americas on Wednesday.

Our region is long and diversewe may not agree on everything, as we are democracies we have differences, but we must have respect in the dialogue,” he said.

Meanwhile, his Argentine counterpart, Alberto Fernández, condemned the blockades against Cuba and Venezuela, and questioned the United States for excluding them from the meeting.

“We definitely would have wanted another Summit of the Americas. The silence of the absent challenges us. So that this does not happen again, I would like to make it clear for the future that the fact of being the host country of the Summit does not grant the ability to impose a ‘right of admission’ about the member countries of the continent”, the Argentine president told the United States.

“Dialogue in diversity is the best instrument to promote democracy, modernization and the fight against inequality,” he added. He thus fulfilled the promise that Fernández had made to the Mexican Andrés López Obrador, absent in protest at the exclusions, and to the excluded Venezuelan Nicolás Maduro.

For his part, the director general of the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA), the Argentine Manuel Otero, called for the formation of a continental alliance to face the growing food crisis.

The call was made at the forum “The global food crisis and the Americas”, in which the administrator of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Samantha Power, announced a humanitarian aid of 331 million dollars to El Salvador , Honduras and Guatemala, the Central American countries most affected by the increase in food prices caused by the pandemic and the war in Ukraine, rural migration and climate change.
