“Tonight we are all going to come.
They are all going to bring relatives.
We are going to fight it, ”Andrea Barrios's mother told Clarín.
She preferred not to give her name because she lives in front of the land of the intake in Guernica.
But he was already at his daughter's box, anticipating what he believed would be a night to prepare the "resistance."
Justice had ordered that the eviction of these 100 hectares of the Buenos Aires suburbs, which have been inhabited by 2,500 families since July, begin this Wednesday morning and end on Friday.
But a last-minute measure ended up putting it off until October.
At 10:40 this Tuesday, the inhabitants of the Guernica capture did not know it.
Therefore, the climate was "prior to eviction."
Unlike the tour that
Clarín
had done on Saturday, where a large number of people were seen, this time many boxes were empty.

The men had gone to work
- most
of them work
as jobs in the construction sector -
and the few women who were seen - always under 30 - were left in the care of the boys.
In the rest of the property there was only field silence, sheets like walls and roofs of bags of waste that seemed closed.
Not abandoned.
Some walled up.
Many of the people who were there also started taking their things.
“I came to take out the mattresses.
Because they say they are going to enter and burn everything, "Brian Medina told Clarin.
He is 22 years old and knows everything about his apple.
He extended his arms to mark how the blocks that divide dirt streets would be and, at the same time, the garden lines that divide the 10x20-meter plots of each family.
I did not know that the eviction was about to stop.
“We are 28 squares here.
We came as soon as we found out about the shot.
We stay because tomorrow (Wednesday) we don't know if they are going to vacate the 100 hectares or if they are going to leave some and we can be there.
But my sister lives in the property taken that is behind the tracks (she refers to the crossing of Brasil Street) and they did well there.
They did not remove anyone and no one talks about those lands, they mess with Guernica ”, he detailed.
After the last minute efforts of the Community Development Ministry and other entities that reject the eviction, Judge Martín Rizzo this afternoon signed a resolution that sets a new date for the "search for the launch", as the procedure is legally defined .

In these 10 days that are opened as a "truce", the provincial authorities would commit to relocate children, women and the most vulnerable occupants.
In court they admit that "it is a reasonable decision, because at the time of the procedure there will be a much smaller number of people."
Cecilia Gonzales is 40 years old and has five children.
She is the wife of Diego, one of the delegates of the taking, and this morning she was not aware of any postponement or relocation.
I was only thinking about the eviction.
“All I want is for the police to come in quietly.
Let them not come to hit or break, for my children, "he said.
It has a box, one of the largest and tallest, made of sheet metal, at the entrance to the Guernica property.
As if it were the height of the street, on the upper right side of the door there is a nailed white sign: "No to eviction."
It was planned that from one moment to the next, the time and place of an assembly of inhabitants of the property would be communicated,
through a WhatsApp group.

"There it will be defined if we leave or if we fight," Cecilia said.
"If the police come in well and we reach an agreement, no one is going to get out of control."
Nicolás, who did not want to give his last name, was sure that the situation could turn very violent.
“No one is going to leave.
The Police do nothing when we ask them to come, because there are shots in the background (where the first shots occurred), there is a dangerous entity there.
So if they come in to get us out, they will be armed, "he warned.
He was with his wife and baby.
And he counted that he works three times a week as a construction officer and that he could pay $ 8,000 per month for the land on which he installed his box.
"Not even charging 40 lucas per month can you be the owner. Now that I can't be in my mother and father's house, I don't have enough to give me a space to live in, we're going to stay here and pay for this land here. 30 years. Because they don't give us another option. I want mine to be mine. There was no one here. It was empty. Now there can be many houses of people who do not rent more than one room, "he closed, without knowing that relief would finally come.
