Buenos Aires city legislature approves Munich 11 resolution
The Buenos Aires City Legislature unanimously approved a
declaration to remember the Israeli athletes murdered at the Munich Olympics in
1972.
"This year we sadly commemorate the 40 anniversary
of Munich massacre against the Israeli delegation. That deplorable event forces
us to have memory and not only is it a vindication in favor of these Israel
athletes, it is also is a current claim in favor of respect and tolerance,”
said the declaration, presented today by legislator Claudio Presman of the
Radical Civic Union party.
The document voted on by the 60 legislators continued,
“Our intention precisely in Olympic times is to contribute from this parliament
in favor of human brotherhood and acceptation between different societies,
religions and ethnics groups.”
Presman told JTA, “The tribute to the victims of this
terrorist attack generates consensus among the representatives of the City of
Buenos Aires. This is also a rejection of terrorism.”
