The mayor of Merlo, Gustavo Menéndez, justified the hiring of the journalist scout Ezequiel Guazzora in that Buenos Aires municipality, since he said that he hired him to teach "neighborhood journalism workshops". He also stated that he was not concerned with the acts of harassment that Guazzora carried out against Luis Majul, Alfredo Leuco, Eduardo Feinmann and Baby Etchecopar.

“I hire Ezequiel Guazzora to do a job, which he does, trains boys and has a vocation to do it. Later in his journalistic career, if he exceeds himself, he makes mistakes, you will be there to judge him and there will be justice. But the work that Ezequiel does here in Merlo, regarding the work of training boys in the neighborhoods so that they dare to consult their neighbors, make reports, that is working well, "said Menéndez , head of the Buenos Aires PJ, in statements to Radio CNN.

It is that Guazzora became known last week when he threatened to scratch Baby Etchecopar for his controversial statements against Cristina Kirchner. "Let's see if tomorrow he has the balls to answer this SON OF A BITCH !!! I got tired of being respectful with blots like this !!!" , posted on social networks. And the next day, she went to harass him at the door of Radio Rivadavia, when he was leaving work on his Baby en el Medio program. As soon as he left the station, the journalist Ultra K rushed him, without respecting the social distancing and began to rebuke him , expecting a violent reaction from Etchecopar. “You're bad people, Baby. Why are you such a poor guy to talk about cancer like that, Baby? You're a poor guy, a poor guy! Guazzora rebuked him, as he followed him and shouted that same phrase to him, until Etchecopar got into his car and left, without answering him.

That journalist escrachador is the one that Menéndez hired in Merlo. When asked if he was not concerned about hiring someone like that to teach neighborhood journalism workshops, Menéndez said that “he did not share that. But I could send you a lot of videos where without knowing me, I have heard so many barbarities that have happened to me. I say it in general. And in particular, I am not the one who manages the editorials of Ezequiel Guazzora ”.

The journalist ultra K has three complaints from Etchecopar and one from Majul, who managed to get a perimeter to avoid his approach, because this Monday he also wanted to go harass him, for the sixth time, when he was leaving work on his CNN program Radio. It is that Majul, Feinmann, Etchecopar and Leuco went to harass them several times, rebuking them on the street and accusing them of having supported the Mauricio Macri government. Those escraches were broadcast on the Popular Communication portal, which belongs to him, and were also featured on other ultrakirchnerist portals, which were held by each of the escraches of this militant journalist.

But those who denounce him to Guazzora are not just journalists. He also had a complaint for gender violence from his former partner, the former Kirchner deputy Stella Maris Córdoba, who denounced him before the Justice for having threatened her with a firearm, after she threw him out as his adviser in the Council of the Judiciary. According to the complaint filed by the former Tucuman deputy, Guazzora would have told him that he had a weapon and that he would not be afraid to use it against her.

Bad people, poor guys like @angeletchecopar run away like rats and use plainclothes police. How good it feels to say things to his face. Shame that @ Rivadavia630 has this nefarious character !!! # ELFMI #Messi #Roman #BabyCagon #Piumato #Triaca #MaximoKirchner pic.twitter.com/9RGjiSO7OU

In addition, he was recently denounced by the Mejorar Party, led by Yamil Santoro and Darío Lopérfido, for instigating the breaking of silobags by agricultural producers. In one of his videos, Guazzora called for breaking silobags and burning the production of “these agrogarcas. How nice it would be for someone to go with a pocket knife and open it for them, so they don't speculate any more, ”he asked last March, when the agricultural strike was over.

The head of the Buenos Aires PJ and Merlo mayor considers that Guazzora has the right profile to teach neighborhood journalism to the boys. "If Ezequiel Guazzora does things wrong, he is not going to have the number of followers he has online and we are not going to hire him journalistically," Menéndez said, to justify his hiring. And he added: “Very recently in a channel that I respect a lot, there was a journalist who said that security was the absolute responsibility of the mayors and said that I had never left my house since the quarantine began. So when someone has so much license to lie and to attack, to say things that are not, I think it does a lot of damage to democracy. So, with respect to everything that happens, I think we all have to take responsibility. "

I leave my release of what happened today, and also within that release a message for @majulluis RESPECTING YOUR GUARANTEES AND THE DUE PROCESS you are going to sit in the dock of the accused and end up PRISONED!
Good week!!!
