The country and the city. A dichotomy On the one hand, surprise and silence. On the other, the fury and discomfort for the violent actions of the 10 rugby players charged with the murder of Fernando Báez Sosa. In the midst of all this, the mood of the inhabitants of Zarate.

How do rugby families accused of crime live today? The families of Juan Guarino and Alejo Milanesi, both released for lack of certainty in the evidence collected, take refuge in their private neighborhoods awaiting the process. They prefer to be discreet and avoid statements. Only 800 meters away separate El Casco Country Club from another neighborhood, Altos del Casco. Residents do not understand and are dismayed. Many, they respect them. Others reveal their annoyance. They agree that indoors an episode never happened outside of what was regulated by the rules of coexistence.

“This is very difficult. I have to help rearm my son. He did nothing, but the blow is very big. He is sad and disoriented, ”Guarino's father told this newspaper when he tried to contact him. The neighbors say they don't go out as much as before.

“It was common to see them at least three times a day. They went to different activities, ”they point out at the security post. The reality changed. Now, they usually leave their home early and return after several hours. They don't think about moving, despite the rumors. It is said that there is no greater affliction than remembering happiness in times of misery. But the photos that show Juan Pedro enjoying his family environment, published in his social network, caused the indignation of his peers. And the social networks of several of those involved, from good to first, were closed.

The families of the 8 rugbiers detained with confirmed pretrial detention also coexist in a kind of Ninth Circle of Hell of The Divine Comedy. Dragged by the circumstances, they had to change their routines. "They are seen little," say traders. They no longer drink the coffee they used to do on the waterfront or frequent shops where they were seen daily.

Rosalía Zárate, the mother of Máximo Thomsen, was until Friday the secretary of Public Works of the municipality of Zárate.

The neighbors distrust that Rosalia, the mother of Máximo Thomsen, has been disconnected from her position in the Ministry of Public Works of the Municipality. It transpired that he resigned from his position as an official, but there are those who claim that he works from home until the situation is normalized.

Máximo Thomsen's father faced the press two weeks ago, after the first visit to the Dolores prison, where his son is in prison.

The fatal scene: Máximo Thomesen walks after the wild beating of Fernando Báez Sosa.

The Pertossi family closed their car and motorcycle workshops. In the neighborhood it is said that the father arranged compensation with the Toyota company to resign his position. Several relatives dropped their landlines. Out of service the operator announced when Clarin tried to communicate. The bells of much of their homes do not work either. They were torn off and glued with tape. The blinds remain low.

It is an overwhelming contrast: while Fernando Báez Sosa's parents face pain with marches and public hugs, surrounded by the friends of the murdered boy, the parents of the accused are increasingly unable to explain the inexplicable.

The wound that hurts the city of northwestern Buenos Aires does not heal. Pain prevails in the absence of responses from the Municipality. There was no communication or condolences for Fernando's parents. “They leave Zarate marked. But we are not all the same, ”complains a group of young people as they walk along the waterfront.

The boliches closed their doors for three weeks by disposition of the administration. Only La Enamorada del Muro , located at 150 San Martin Street, remains open to the public. The parties were suspended and the celebration of the Corsican is in doubt. "They hurried not to wait," is heard at a bar table. "If they are responsible, they have to pay with the full weight of the law," they denounce in the bar opposite. Divided opinions.

The phantom of suspect number 11 is not installed in the conversations, but there is talk that an attempt was made to involve one Francisco, known as Lucas Pertossi. The parents of Pablo Ventura, the unjustly accused young man who was dismissed by Justice, resumed their habits. They are loved in the city. They express their anger at the released rugbiers for not revealing the identity of another possible involved.

The city and the country try to resume their rhythm to the rhythm of the routine. But sadness is inevitable. Fernando's crime is installed in every corner. A latent justice claim. The power of pain as a cross to the jaw.
