Gonzalo Valverde says he was beaten up in downtown Córdoba City in the early morning hours of Saturday after disclosing his sexuality. “Early this morning I was a victim of a clearly homophobic attack in the middle of downtown Córdoba. Valverde, who is an activist in the Socialist Workers Party, wrote about the attack in more detailed statement the following morning, in a piece for La Izquierda Diario. Politician Pedro Robledo, for example, said he received similar treatment from hospital staff when he was beaten up outside a party in San Isidro in 2013. The Socialist Worker’s Party (PTS) is helping to organize the protest while the event page on Facebook declares: “our liberty will be conquered by our own actions, it will not come from any government.”
