Buenos Aires: CuCoCo social centre suffered an arson attack

CuCoCo social centre (cultural, cooperative and communitarian space, also known as Huerta de Saavedra), in the Saavedra neighbourhood of Buenos Aires, was intentionally torched on the 8th of February 2014 at around 5.30am.

CuCoCo is a social and cultural centre occupied since 2002 by neighbours, after the 2001 Argentine crisis and subsequent riots. The ground where it stands has been in the middle of a municipal dispute, as the municipality has been trying to sell it.
