Interior Minister Florencio Randazzo on Friday condemned yesterday’s violent clashes between police forces and squatters in the Northern province of Jujuy which left four people dead and at least 60 wounded.

“The national government condemns the violent incidents which took place in the city of Libertador General San Martín in Jujuy province, and urges the judiciary to immediately investigate and clarify the incidents,” Randazzo stressed.
