Claudio Parente is from La Plata.
His father was admitted to a nursing home in Chivilcoy, in a terminal condition.
When the doctor notified him of the situation he was going through, Claudio did not hesitate: he took out the corresponding permits, took a note from the specialist and drove to give him the last hug.
But it could not be.
Upon arriving in Chivilcoy, the Police denied him entry, under the restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic.
They held him for almost two hours and dismissed the special permission that Parente had taken out on the website of the national government.
Arguments through, Claudio had to return to the provincial capital, after which he learned that his father had died.
Although it is not the first case of a person who cannot fire a loved one due to the controls, his story does not stop shaking.
And outrage.
The note Parente brought to let him pass.

"Since my father was admitted, I called the nursing home every day. At one point
the doctor told me that he was in a state of agony
, I wanted to be with everything in order. I think they consulted the Municipality and sent me the corresponding certificate that says I can travel, "Parente began in dialogue with the
Todo Noticias
channel
.
In this sense, he continued: "
I got the necessary permits
and telling him that my father was at risk of life, I went to Chivilcoy. And when I enter, they put me aside and tell me 'he will not be able to pass' through a lot of things A police officer even came and told me that I was disrespecting him, but I no longer responded to myself. "
In addition to the official permission, Parente had taken a note from the geriatric doctor to allow him to enter the home, which is prohibited in the municipality.
That was the trigger.
"I asked the traffic officers, the police and the commissioner what would have happened if I had not presented the doctor's certificate, and if I had only presented the national circulation permits, I would not have explained that I was going to a nursing home to see me Dad who was dying. He replied: 'I would have let you pass.' I told him I didn't want to talk to him anymore, "he said, still hurt.
The permission that Claudio Parente had legally obtained to see his father.
Back in La Plata and after a call from the mayor of Chivilcoy,
Guillermo Britos
, the man returned to travel to Chivilcoy, but when he had already traveled for an hour, he received a call from the geriatric doctor to inform him that his father had just died.
"I did see my dad there, in a little room, inside the drawer," she said through tears.
For his part, the communal chief spoke with
Todo Noticias
to give his explanation of the events: "Obviously it was
a serious error
by those in charge of control. As soon as I became aware of this, I spoke with Parente the same day at 9:00 p.m. hours, I offered to send him to look for him, I offered to pay him the trip in case he did not want to drive, that the municipality took over. He decided to wait until 7 in the morning to leave, so as not to travel again at that time. Unfortunately when He arrived at 9:30 in the morning, and his father had died a little earlier. "
