	The weapons that freed Castells (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Castells had already pulverized the accusation of coercion with his almost two-hour long declaration: the mayor’s attendance at the City Hall not only had been voluntary, but also "was protected" by 200 police under the orders of the Attorney General (fiscal general).
		Castells denounced the prosecuting attorneys as "montoneros converted to Nazis" and pointed out the the five pensioners accompanying him at the interview could never have "coerced" the mayor surrounded by troops and accompanied, even during the interview, by the commander of those troops.
		In this framework, Castells’ absolution is a cover-up operation of the forces of repression, who come out free and clear from their own "experimental criminal offense." The forces of repression (including the Departement of Justice) have illegitimately deprived Castells of his freedom for 1,214 days.

		Castells was reportedly on hunger strike for most of his entire two-month detention, and at some point was transferred to a clinic for medical attention.
		Castells was previously sentenced and served two years in jail for an action at a Walmart store in Avellaneda in 2000 in which he and his supporters demanded food.
		Castells is demanding that President Néstor Kirchner grant him a presidential pardon; the MIJD leader blamed his arrest on the fact that he is running for senator representing Buenos Aires, in direct competition with the current first lady, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.

		Svampa said that while Castells and others have criticised D'Elía and accused him of receiving favours from the government, the closer ties actually arise from ''a genuine ideological affinity'' with Kirchner.
		But of Castells, she said ''He does not express clear ideas, no one knows exactly what his strategic objectives are, and he is authoritarian and very focused on his own person and leadership.

		His defense attorney, María Fernanda Mestrín, explained at a press conference at that time "Castells was tried for one crime, extortion, and condemned for another, ‘co-action’ [a pure invention of the bosses courts]".
		Raul represents the ruling classes’ worst nightmare: that the Argentine working class take into their own hands the solution for their problems, in a life and death struggle with a system that is bent on making them pay with their lives and the lives of their children for the crisis.
		The call for his immediate release forms part of the demands in every demonstration, in every roadblock of the piqueteros (organizations of employed and unemployed workers), in all the resolutions of the popular assemblies, in every form of direct action against this regime of hunger, misery, repression and death.

	A New Leaf Media » Raul the Terrible
		Raul Castells is the charismatic leader of the picquetero movement that vows to enfranchise the dislocated and demands effective responses from a government they believe is corrupt.
		Raul the Terrible intimately follows Castells’ passion for his people and trails his often dangerous route to a revolutionary revolt.
		The documentary’s pace is at times frustrating, although arguably augmenting the audience’s grasp of the waiting game between Castells and the government in which responses are rare and scheduled meetings are stood up.

		Raul Castells is a modern day Robin Hood fighting for the poor of Argentina, a country left gutted by the forces of globalisation and corrupt politicians.
		Tired of political speeches by a divided Left movement, he and his merry band of poor ‘Piqueteros‘ (picketers) believe in peaceful, non violent action and to confront the government and big business in a place where social welfare for the unemployed leaves many malnourished.
		Raul the Terrible suggests that Argentina, neck and neck with Australia 40 years ago in standard of living, is a vision of where Australia may be heading under the current industrial relations laws where survival of the fittest becomes the maxim of the day.

	Argentina: The struggle continues
		RAUL CASTELLS is a leader of the militant retirees’ movement Movimiento Independiente de Jubilados y Pensionados (MIJP).
		He is under house arrest, serving a two-year sentence for the "crime" of leading a group of hungry, elderly people in demanding food from a Wal-Mart store in 1998.
		But the government put Castells, a socialist who has played a leading role in Argentina since the 1970s, on trial anyway--to try to set an example against the growing popular mobilizations that exploded into the Argentinazo.

		Raúl Castells, leader of the hard-left Independent Movement of Unemployed and Pensioners, told the Financial Times this week that he was preparing a list of new potential targets from the 50 biggest foreign-owned businesses in Argentina.
		As part of efforts to isolate Mr Castells, government ministers including Alicia Kirchner, the president's sister, spoke at a rally last weekend to launch a more moderate piquetero faction that has pledged to work with the government.
		Government supporters also accused Mr Castells of acting on behalf of Mr Duhalde, a rival leader in the faction-ridden ruling Peronist party.

		When asked about the events at the Repsol-YPF building, he accused government agents of attempting to discredit the movement, which was protesting, among other things, a massive increase in petroleum gas prices from 10 to 30 pesos.
		Castells' indignant reaction to the suggestion that they might have set off the explosion reveals popular limits to acceptable and unacceptable tactics of direct action: people may be living in conditions that ceased to be tolerable one hundred years ago, but that doesn't justify the destruction of property.
		Interestingly, another focus of the day's 124 roadblocks (piquetes) was opposition to the law that recently declared piquetes illegal.
