Crossing the accusations between Jorge Macri and Mariano Richarde for the incident that occurred in Congress

Last Thursday, while the Chamber of Commerce discussed an agreement with the IMF, a group of hooded men stoned in front of the Congress, broke a window in the Senate's office of Christina Kirchner, and clashed with the city police. The incident caused mutual accusations between the government officials sector and the Buenos Aires authorities responsible for security operations.In this context, Jorge Macri and Mariano Ricalde (Mariano Recalde) appeared on Twitter's new cross chapter.

“Kirchnerism protects violence when it is functional for them and expresses it 'with grief' when they suffer. In the face of Pedrada in 2017, Deputy Director Recalde of FDT presented an amparo to limit the possibility of police using security elements.” The Minister of Government of the City of Buenos Aires began.

“Thanks to hard work, continuous investment over time and continuous integration of technologies, today the city has the lowest crime rate in the last 27 years and is the second safest capital in the United States after Ottawa. Since the city is committed to security, we present Crime Map, a tool that we continue to use today and collect crime data to identify evolution and manage security in an agile and intelligent way.” “, said Jorge Macri, Capital.

“Facing crime is a challenge that requires us to meet all of us together, so next week we will be signing agreements with several municipalities of AMBA that make great efforts and maintain investments to work in a coordinated way for security.” An official from Buenos Aires concluded.

Jorge Macri assured that in 2017 Recalde “submitted an amparo to limit the possibility of using security elements by the police.”

A few hours later, Recalde replied: “Yesterday, in a security camera video posted on @CFKArgentina, it took 20 minutes for the city's police to arrive and showed surprising brevity in the face of a direct attack on the vice-president of the country; but Kirchnerism is also to blame...” .

“On Thursday, the city police were able to stop a small number of protesters who threw stones without resorting to violence, which is the only thing that limits the protection presented in 2017. The delay of the police in the face of such a serious incident is inexplicable. The image is clear. If the city ordered the immediate intervention of the police, it would have been possible to avoid the assault. The current National Senator of Frente de Todos added.

Finally, Recalde said: “1) Protesters can disperse without resorting to repression, contrary to what they did in December 2017; 2) to this day they cannot justify the absence of the police while the attacks are being organized and started.”

Recalde replied that the city police “took 20 minutes to arrive with surprising brevity in the face of a direct attack on the vice president of the country.”

In this context, on Tuesday morning, City Security Minister Marcelo D'Alessandro announced this Thursday that when the same bill is discussed in the Senate, he will carry out a special operation to prevent the events of last week from being repeated. “We will create fences and use force to ensure the development of Congress, which is one of the pillars of democracy,” said the official.

D'Alessandro also assured that there is no fence in Congress last week at the explicit request of Vice President Christina Kirchner. “We need to define where we are, whether we are violent or nonviolent.” He emphasized. “Cristina herself asked (referring to other opportunities) to remove the fence. What we will do next Thursday is to create a fence that can have lungs so that the police can act faster, protect themselves, distinguish violence from non-violent people and act accordingly.” The Minister of Buenos Aires added.

As a result, from the Senate Magistrate they issued an official statement on the subject. “The State Senate magistrate requested that none of the authorities in this House of Representatives communicate with government officials in the city of Buenos Aires to place security fences last Thursday, March 10, and the Chamber of Commerce discussed an agreement with the IMF,” they also said, “There was no communication requesting that there was no external fence during the activities scheduled in the Senate this week.”

However, they once admitted that the vice president communicated to remove the security vines. “The only communication that Senate President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner had with Diego Santilli, then deputy director of the Government of Buenos Aires, was on August 26, 2020, when the Senate was considering a draft judicial reform. At that time, and in a timely manner, the city was erecting at that time and asked to remove the fence that was not requested. I received a request. This telephone communication has become widespread in the media.” They said.
