The cacerolazo and applause in protest for the liberation of detainees in the middle of the pandemic by the coronavirus had a strong adhesion from the balconies and windows of different parts of the country.

At exactly 20 hours the sound of the plates of saucepans and pots came down from the buildings of the City. But Rosario and Córdoba, among other regions, were not far behind and also made their anger felt by a measure that has already come into force.

Neighborhoods like Palermo, Recoleta, Belgrano, Almagro showed their discontent and this was reflected in the social networks, where users shared videos, along with their location, of the moment.

The claim had already had its first chapter this Wednesday, although it was a kind of "preliminary warm-up" since the noise was not as convincing as that of tonight. 

"We are fed up with the lack of security and the complicity of officials and judges with crime, and we want victims and not murderers, rapists, drug traffickers, and corrupts to be protected and privileged," warns one of the many messages that circulated in networks.

"What will happen to the police and gendarmes, to the prosecutors and judges who locked them up and condemn them, and to the families of all of them, who will now be threatened by the criminals once again released?" Ask the promoters of the protest.

Along the same lines, the message adds: "Sooner or later, those who have embarked on this campaign to allow the creation of a new 'Vatayón Militante', formed by hitmen in the best style of the Chavista paramilitary militias, will have to answer for it."

In fact, on www.change.org, a website where requests for a "social change" are made, a user asked "NO TO THE DEPARTURE OF PRISONERS !!!", it already has more than 500 thousand signatures in less than three days, an unthinkable goal even for its own creators.

From change.org they told Clarín that it is not usual for this number of signatures to be added in such a short time: it is the one that obtained the most in 2020. They argue that it generally occurs with Justice cases that produce outrage in society and that the The scope of this request was thanks to the media exposure.

Among those who signed in favor of that request are Matías Bagnato, a survivor of the Flores massacre, and Viviam Perrone, the mother of Kevin Sedano, who was run over in Olivos in 2002 by a motorist.
