The disappearance of Facundo Astudillo Castro (22) is still shrouded in mystery and with the Buenos Aires Police in the midst of suspicions. For this reason, the young man's mother, Cristina Castro (42), called on President Alberto Fernández and Governor Axel Kicillof to intervene so that the truth of what happened to her son is known.
In an interview with Clarín , the woman assured that she has spoken by phone with both, but not with the mayor of Villarino, Carlos Bevilacqua.
"Yesterday (on Wednesday) the President called me twice, I had two talks with him, in the middle of the talk our communication was cut off, I said 'well, that's it, is a president going to call you (again? )? '. He called us again , "said Castro.
As for the Governor, he stated that he has had conversations. "Nobody called me in Villarino, I first spoke with Mr. Axel Kicillof three times before the mayor even deigned to ask for my phone number," he complained.
In this regard, he warned: "The Governor knows that this is his management, it is he who has to intercede, who has to act, and the President, this is his government, they are the ones who have to act, and he has to leave in light of the truth, what did they do with Facu ".
For Castro, his son was the victim of a forced disappearance by Buenos Aires police on April 30, after the young man hitchhiked from Pedro Luro, heading to Bahía Blanca, to see his ex-girlfriend.

As it was proven, Facundo was delayed twice by the Police, first in Mayor Buratovich and then in Lieutenant Origone, for violating the quarantine. "I want them to give it back to me. They will have to give it back to my son. The first thing is to find him," said the young man's mother.
Last Thursday, the Legal and Technical Secretary of the Presidency, Vilma Ibarra, assured: "I was present in the conversation that the President and Facundo's mother had yesterday, and I am not going to reproduce that conversation, but I just want to say that the The government is very dedicated to helping in everything necessary because we are extremely concerned about this case .

In dialogue with Continental radio , he added that the Government "has enormous concern about this, beyond the jurisdiction in which it has happened" and added: "This is in the hands of the Justice and everything that is at the level of the Government being done".
"The image of a mother or father before a son who cannot be found is terrible; therefore, do not expect the national government to make an effort to search for it. None of this will happen, and, if there are responsibilities of officials, whether they are provincial or national, that will not be hidden, "Ibarra stressed.
