Receivership
In law, receivership is a situation in which an institution or enterprise is held by a receiver – a person "placed in the custodial responsibility for the property of others, including tangible and intangible assets and rights" – especially in cases where a company cannot meet its financial obligations and is said to be insolvent. The receivership remedy is an equitable remedy that emerged in the English chancery courts, where receivers were appointed to protect real property. Receiverships are also a remedy of last resort in litigation involving the conduct of executive agencies that fail to comply with constitutional or statutory obligations to populations that rely on those agencies for their basic human rights. Types of receivership Receiverships can be broadly divided into two types: *those related to insolvency or enforcement of a security interest *those where either: **a person is incapable of managing their affairs and a court has appointed a receiver to ma ...

Cordobazo
The ''Cordobazo'' was a civil uprising in the city of Córdoba, Argentina at the end of May 1969. It occurred a few days after the '' Rosariazo'' protests erupted in the Santa Fe Province against the military dictatorship of General Juan Carlos Onganía. With its element of radical student participation, the ''Cordobazo'' is often viewed as a continuation of the global protests of 1968. Starting in mid-May 1969, a series of Argentine strikes and protests brought police repression, which triggered a wider insurrection. The two pivotal days of the ''Cordobazo'' were 29 and 30 May 1969. That is when the labor union CGT, headed in Córdoba by Agustín Tosco, called for a national strike immediately after the city of Córdoba initiated a general strike. The historian James Brennan characterized the ''Cordobazo'' as a "fateful step toward the violent climax the country would experience" in the Argentine coup d'état of 1976.

CGT De Los Argentinos

Onganía implemented a rigid censorship that reached the press and all cultural manifestations such as cinema, theater and even poetry.
