Dawn came with a roar of gunfire and fire to

the capture of Guernica

, in the Buenos Aires party of President Perón.

Around 4.30, more than 4,000 police officers advanced on the property to evict the occupants in compliance with a court order.

"They entered with everything,

the shotguns clean, burning squares

, they did not care about anything," says Mónica Guerrero (43).

Around 8.30, Monica was one of the few occupants who were still on the premises.

The police let her stay until she could disarm her "ranch" and take some belongings.

"Here the cap burned everything, but I

'm not going to let them burn the ranch and what little I have

. I'm going to take my things. I banked as far as I could," she says in shock.

"Come out all that I set them on fire with the boys inside," officers shouted from outside as soon as the sun rose this Thursday, he tells

Clarín

.

Inside, he was with his children Alejo (13) and Morena (11), and with their father, Marcelo.

The "ranch" of Mónica and her family, in Guernica.

This Thursday they were trying to rescue some of their belongings.

A few days ago, they had finished raising

a canvas and wood box

 and had made a 4 meter deep well for the bathroom.

The oldest son had started to plant a garden.

The family, who lived on the street for almost a decade, many years under the bridge in Constitución, was dedicated to cardboard.

"With the shots, they scared the horses, they ruined me,

I can't believe I'm staying on the street again

," says Mónica, while she plans to dismantle "the little house" to rebuild it elsewhere, "on the street."

Monica and her family were trying to recover some of their belongings, after the eviction in Guernica.

"We are going to build our little house somewhere else, on the street," they said.

"I don't have anywhere to live. These bastards won't leave you alone. I'm bad for the boys, because the boys were crying like crazy.

'On the street again, Mom, on the street again,' they

said. That makes me sick. After all the things I went through. They have to give me a solution, they can't let me go back to the street with my children. Not again, "he claimed.

It had been

three months

since the Guernica property, in President Perón's party, had been taken.

The eviction finally took place this Thursday, after the Cañuelas Guarantee Judge, Martín Miguel Rizzo, rejected the request for a third extension.

Several police mobiles arrived at dawn to carry out the measure.

The operation was led by the Minister of Security of the Province of Buenos Aires, Sergio Berni.

There were insults, stones and shots of rubber bullets.

After 7 o'clock, there were almost no occupants left on the premises, but clashes with the Police continued in the surroundings.

Until 8 o'clock there were at least

35 detainees

for resisting authority and usurpation, as confirmed by the prosecutor in the case, Juan Condomí Alcorta.
