Green Ford Falcons have been sighted outside the Senate and another ministry in an apparent intimidation strategy, according to reports made to the Herald. One such Falcon was seen parked outside a Senate annex on both Tuesday and Wednesday with a Federal Police badge sitting on the dashboard behind the steering wheel. “They’re choosing the Falcon, a symbol of a specific type of political repression — clandestine repression.”Sources in the Senate told the Herald that the Ford Falcon was parked outside during the meeting between Villarruel and Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner to discuss the government transition. Ministry staff had to be evacuated on Friday following two bomb threats, made specifically to the 144 helpline for those suffering gender-based violence. “Those who work on these issues within the 144 helpline know full well that violence can never be a path to development.
