The members of the Lower Chamber of Congress denounced through a communique the violence exercised by the police forces against citizens and leaders who support Argentine Vice President Cristina Fernandez, including her son, Máximo Kirchner, who takes part in that body.

"We stand in solidarity with all the comrades who were victims of violence yesterday. We demand that the city government identify the police officers involved in the repression against Kirchner," read the document.

Thousands of people arrived Sunday in the vicinity of Fernandez de Kirchner's house, and mobilizations were carried out in several regions across the country condemning the installation of fences and the gathering of police forces surrounding the area.
