The attempted assassination of Argentina’s Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner shows that the radicalization of society has assumed dangerous forms. Never before has the willingness to resort to violence been so high. The situation is explosive.
The television cameras captured the attack on Argentina’s Vice President live, similar to the assassination attempt on American President John F. Kennedy: A bearded man makes his way through the crowd in front of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner’s house when the Clock just got out of her car. The attacker extends his right arm, in which he holds a semi-automatic pistol, a Bersa 360, loaded with five rounds. He pulls the trigger when the barrel of the gun is inches from the Vice President’s forehead. Kirchner screams, ducks down – and miraculously survives because the unlocked gun is jammed for unknown reasons.
