Hours before, Bullrich and Zdero had held a press conference where they denounced the case.

The governor mentioned the cases of "

parallel states

for the benefit of social leaders", since the first complaints in 2010, with

Sueños Compartidos

exploiting girls

links with trafficking

"It is incredible how

the prostituted power

of those who have posed as the

owners of social policy

has ended in the most aberrant and brutal cases that would make any Argentine family cry. This leads to the Government, through Human Capital, having only one decision: no more intermediaries," concluded Minister Bullrich.
