A closed applause, followed by a resounding silence.
"They do not shut us up any more"
, "Matías Martínez murderer", "We are not all here, Úrsula is missing", "Let Berni come down!", "Complicit policeman", say the signs in Plaza San Martín, where thousands of people are concentrated this Tuesday to demand justice for Úrsula Bahillo (18), victim of a femicide by her former partner, a local policeman.
"I knew Úrsula, we saw her grow up, when I found out I couldn't believe it. You feel guilty, you feel that I could have helped her more, although the culprits are clearly others, in addition to the femicide: all those who turned her face away, like the prosecutors and the Police, "Milagros Jandet (25) tells Clarín, while holding a flag of black mourning.
"Who takes care of us from the Police? #Justice?"
says the sign raised by Doris Berruti (46), while walking with her two daughters, 23 and 11 years old.
"I come here for them," he points out and adds that also "so that this never happens again."
Noelia Cianci, the oldest, agrees: "This is a place where everyone knows each other. Úrsula was just another neighbor for me, but I saw him more. He was a serious person who made you afraid to see him."

"Today for Úrsula, tomorrow we do not know,"
reads another poster that is shaken while the Korean squares are: "And now that we are together and now that they do see us, down with the patriarchy, it is going to fall."
The bars of the Municipality covered by a hand-painted flag;
boys and girls climbing on the windows, and the noise, which each one makes with what is at hand.
There is applause, drummer, drums.
Thousands flocked to the plaza to claim.
Milagros Gauna is 18, the same as Úrsula had.
They also met the same day: February 26.
"We were going to turn 19 on the same day and suddenly I found out that the ex had killed her and the world fell apart, because she kept putting on social networks that she was having a bad time. She made thousands of complaints and was never protected. ", account.
There is no such thing as ages on the fly.
Families applaud with their children, adolescents and the elderly.
Most frown without a trace of a tear.
It's rude: "Son of a bitch! Son of a bitch!" They sing.
"Yuta, trash, you are the dictatorship," they add.

A man in a gray T-shirt shrugs his shoulders up while holding his month-old daughter.
"It is not that I have no words, I cannot speak. I was an acquaintance of the city, of the town. How can I not be moved if I am the father of a 17-month-old girl and an 8-month-old girl. This breaks your heart. Courage. Today it was Úrsula's turn, tomorrow it could be anyone from the city ", says Oscar Navarro (45), who always lived in Rojas.
"Here I never heard of something like that, here in red. Not with such treachery. I don't know if they didn't talk or that they covered everything, as they did with Martinez," he adds.
"I am not listened to either

"
says a pink sign.
Carla holds it (not her real name,) with a tired look.
"A year ago I denounced my ex-partner because he sexually abused our 2-year-old son. They never did a Gesell Chamber. They gave us the perimeter, but he always broke it. The Prosecutor's Office gave the order to release him and told me not to report otherwise they were going to give me skills, because I was the obsessive one. Now I live locked up with my children and he is free as if nothing had happened. "

The applause continues: "Sir, ma'am, don't be indifferent, they kill us girls in people's faces."
A teenage girl painted a cardboard sign that sums up the mood: "As we promised, we're going to break everything."
