Cordoba authorities banned a Warsaw Ghetto memorial meeting planned by the Cordoba branch of the DAIA, the central agency for Argentine Jewry. The official reason for the action was given by authorities as “technical reasons” involving security. Officials stressed that, for similar reasons, they were banning a political meeting of the opposition Intransigent Party.
The Cordoba provincial police alleged insufficient personnel to prevent disturbances to public order. Dr. Nehemias Reznizky, DAIA president, Victor Martinez, the leader of the opposition Union Civica Radical, and Carlos Palacio Dereza, a member of Parliament of the Justicialist (Peronist) Party, had been scheduled to speak. The Cordoba DAIA branch protested strongly against the ban.
