On the third day of protests by the police in the province of Buenos Aires and in the face of the escalation of tension around this conflict, President
Alberto Fernández
stated that he is "not" "willing to accept certain forms of demand."
"I can understand any claim and any demand, what I am not willing to do is accept certain forms of demand that have nothing to do with democratic life," warned the Head of State.
The President spoke accompanied by the Buenos Aires governor, Axel Kicillof, by the head of the Chamber of Deputies, Sergio Massa, and by a multitude of communal leaders of the ruling party and the opposition.
"We are going to seek and we are going to give a solution to the Province of Buenos Aires, but we are not going to accept that they continue with this mode of protest and I ask them to please democratically, amicably, put down this attitude. We need to see them differently," he claimed.
Following this, the President announced the creation of a "fiscal financial strengthening fund for the Province of Buenos Aires."
"We do it because we are trying to restore a balance that was lost back in the mid-1980s when the Province lost 8 co-participation points," he explained.
The Head of State thanked the demonstrations of support that he received in the last hours before the protests of the police.
"I trust that Argentina that believes that democracy is the only way and that institutionality is the only way to solve problems," he said.
"The institutionality was never at stake but armed troops in the fifth generated unease in many people," Fernández lamented.

The protests and the repudiation of the entire political arc
It is that in the last hours, referents of the entire political arc came out to repudiate the actions of the Buenos Aires policemen, who not only continued with their measures of force despite the promise of increase of the government of Axel Kicillof, but again marched in the entrance of the Quinta de Olivos.
Earlier, the President led an act in the Buenos Aires Quilmes party with Governor Kicillof, where he referred to the conflict of the security forces.
"The problems are solved frontally and not hidden in patrol cars, sounding sirens", the president warned them.
Later, Fernández organized a meeting in Olivos with Kicillof and with several mayors of the cities where the police protests were replicated.
The uniformed men went out last Monday to mobilize in the streets, even with official mobiles, to demand a salary recomposition.
Although the government of Axel Kicillof anticipated that the increase will be announced in the next few hours, the troops decided to continue with the force measures, which even intensified in some points such as the headquarters of the Buenos Aires government, in La Plata, in the well-known area as Puente 12, where the Minister of Provincial Security, Sergio Berni, has his command of operations and in the residence of Olivos.

Government sources reported Telam that the provincial leader was working this Wednesday with his economic team, led by the Minister of Finance, Pablo López, to define the scope of the salary increase that will be granted to the province's police.
In that sense, the Buenos Aires Chief of Cabinet, Carlos Bianco, reaffirmed that the announcements on salary and labor improvements that the provincial administration will make in relation to the police will be "broad enough" as "for the protests to end" that are taking place. in different parts of the district.
The bloc of national deputies of the Frente de Todos expressed its "repudiation and concern at the manifestation of some armed troops from the Buenos Aires police", who surrounded both the Presidential House and the Government House of the Province of Buenos Aires.
"The legitimate wage claim of the police forces of the province, after the disastrous economic management of the Government of Mauricio Macri, was heard by the national and provincial governments, which immediately made themselves available to dialogue and provide solutions," said the bench chaired by Máximo Kirchner, through a statement.
Meanwhile, deputies from the Radical Civic Union described as "unacceptable" the protest that the Buenos Aires Police personnel made around the Presidential Palace, and pointed out that the only way to solve the conflict is through a "responsible dialogue."
This is how radical legislators Facundo Suarez Lastra, Emilio Yacobitti, Fabian Quetglas, Dolores Martínez, and Juan Martín spoke. They expressed their opinion today about the protest methodology of those troops in front of the Presidential Residence of Olivos.
The National Justicialist Party, the CGT, the two CTAs and legislators and mayors of the ruling party also questioned the modality of the Buenos Aires police claim, called for respecting the "institutionality" and repudiated "the political manipulation" and the "destabilizing attitudes" that they attribute to sectors Together for Change during the evolution of the protests.
In turn, mayors of the Frente de Todos of the third electoral section rejected the protest made by members of the Buenos Aires police around the Official Residence of Olivos, considering it a "threat and intimidation."
Under the title "The Claim is Fair. The Method No", the communal chiefs released a statement on the networks in which they stated that it is possible to "understand the salary claim of the Buenos Aires security forces, but the attitude of surrounding the presidential fifth it is an act of threat and intimidation against the government.
