Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - May 8, 1972, Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg free press monday May 1972 nationalism spurs Argentine guerrillas by James Neilson Buenos Aires special owns nowhere in the world with the exception of Vietnam Are guerrillas As Active today As they Are in Argen Tina. For several years they have been quickening the rhythm of their attacks on police stations Banks army out posts and civilians representing forces they dislike. This month they struck harder than Ever before machine gunning in Broad Daylight their fiercest opponent Juan Carlos Sanchez commander of the Rosario Gar Rison. Within hours while the nation was still reeling from the Shock they struck again killing Oberdan Sallustro Fiat s top Man in Argentina whom they had kidnapped three weeks earlier. The government was caught off balance by the fury of the guerrilla onslaught which Carne Only Days after Vio Lent rioting in the prosperous normally Placid andean town of Mendoza. Who Are what towards internal first completely identified itself always demonstrated that the u was born Iii re i with Che Guevara. It sprang Best Way to get Power is to use spouse to Che Guevara s Call j into the forefront in july 1970 when its guerrillas took Over the township of Garin near Buenos Aires for a few hours. The guerrillas and their objectives some of them arc professional revolutionaries trained in Cuba China North Korea or the soviet Union. But the bulk of the rank and file As Well As some of the More daring and imaginative leaders Are Young argentines o f upper Middle class families Well educated and with few economic prob. Lems who have Learned their Trade in their own country and Are far too nationalistic to accept orders from abroad. These Young people Many of whom Are devout roman catholics Are appalled by the continuing Gulf that separates Rich and poor and their Pride is stung by Argentina s minor and dependent a frequently used word place in the world. I they regard the armed forces As Little More than mercenaries in the pay of the Pentagon and despise the nation s business Community As being Mere front men for the Multi National corporations. All these they be Lieve Are striving to keep a Tina an economic Colony. The Urban guerrilla group currently making the running is for not one but Many Viet name and its greatest Day came in March 1970 when it kidnapped paraguayan Consul Waldemar Sanchez during a visit to Buenos Aires by paraguayan dictator general Alfre do Stroessner. President on Gania s Blank refusal to negotiate set the pattern for All subsequent government dealings with the terrorist groups. The fal has never recovered from the blow dealt them by men Doza police in october 1970, when 12 guerrillas were Cap lured along with a sizable Arsenal. The map has sometimes been identified with the Monto neros but has carried out enough in dependent actions to be regarded As a distinct group. It was formed after the last disastrous attempt to foment guerrilla warfare in the Countryside in accordance with the classic maoist and gue Varist recipe. After taking to the Hills of the mountains North West near the bolivian and chilean Borders the hungry and weary revolutionaries were mopped up be fore they had time to establish a base Camp. The map has made full use of the opportunities offered by Urban guerrilla warfare attacking police stations and Banks. It is fulsom Ely Peronis in rhetoric. The far which formed a Force. Army chiefs claim unconvincingly that All the terrorist groups Are merely. Units of a they fought their communique worldwide conspiracy directed said like Che Guevara from a in Moscow peking or Havanna. Joint commando with the Erp to slay general at deep feeling of love for Man and life and proved unique among terrorists by apologizing for any inconvenience their activities caused the people. In March 1971 they attacked an army lorry getting away with a Large Quantity of arms after killing a lieutenant. Shocked by having one of their men die in action the armed forces asked and got sterner anti guerrilla legislation passed by the government. The far s political colouring has changed slightly since its debut and it now counts itself As Peronis. As Argentina is a military dictatorship the guerrillas enjoy a fair amount of sympathy among the general Public and have collected Many fervent supporters from Peronis and new left politicians. They Are also backed from the pulpit by a number of third world churchmen much to the sur prise of their congregations who had been accustomed to see the roman Catholic Church As an Arm of the establishment. Middle of the Road politicians Are also careful to condemn violence in general rather than guerrilla violence in particular. They blame the armed forces for the guerrilla offensive As the army they insist have but while Castro a fellow latin american is admired by most guerrillas they Are far too nationalistic to be faithful follow ers of any. Foreign party Appa Ratus. They regard themselves As continuing the latin Ameri can of struggle against the imperialists front men in the presidential Palace. Their general strategy Aims at goading the military into set Ting up a really oppressive dictatorship which would they Hope unite a great majority of the people around their ban ners. So far their strategy has misfired. General Lanusse s decision to hand Power to a civil Ian government after elections in 1973 was largely motivated his awareness that helped terrorism. Should an elected government take Over he believes terrorism would Wither away. This is what Many guerrilla chieftains fear and their new offensive is de signed to spark a coup by authoritarian military factions who look towards Brazil with undisguised admiration. There Are certainly Many army officers prepared to play their allotted part in the guerrilla scenario general Sanchez was one and in recent they have been sorely .

The Erp has been most Active in Rosario Argentina s Sec Ond City although it did carry out a spectacular Bank robbery a few blocks from government House in Buenos Aires at the beginning of this year. It was in Rosario that it kidnapped the honorary British Consul Stanley Sylvester nearly a year ago. It was also in Rosario that it suffered the hardest pressure from the army under general san Chez who on one occasion boasted he had rounded up 85 per cent of the terrorists operating in his zone.

Whenever it gives a secret press conference it makes sure the Walls Are decorated not Only with pictures of Che Guevara himself an Argentine and their own slogans but also with portraits of general san Martin the Liberator who is As revered Here As is George Washington in the United states. They have made when it suited them common cause with the exiled dictator Juan Peron who is still idolized by the working classes. This adherence w a s contemptuously broken however As soon As Peron indicated he wanted a peaceful run up to the March 1973 general elections which he expects to win.
