The day's report on Jorge Lanata's program Periodismo Para Todos (PPT) was dedicated to the seizure of land in Guernica, whose eviction was postponed until October 15 at the request of the provincial government of Axel Kicillof. 

Lanata revealed that

Roberto Perdia

, former Montonero chief, is one of the leaders of the State Bar Association that represents the families of the seizure and who

negotiates with the Province and Justice

.

It was an unknown fact that drew attention, since the leader who knew how to be one of the strong men of that armed organization of the 70s kept a low profile.

In the special, entitled "

The Battle of Guernica

", in the program they said that these lands were going to be a mega-enterprise of the

Country Club San Sirano

, a kind of

Nordelta

, but that for a few months it has been called the "Barrio 20 de julio" , the day the taking began.

"It is the symbol of inequality and the incapacity of the State", defined Lanata.

The report showed the shot inside and gave a voice to the neighbors, who have been waiting for a resolution for days.

For example, Carlos said that the situation was good for him (occupying the land) "because they just kicked me out of the rent."

"We take the land because we have nowhere to go. All we ask is land, we have nowhere to go," he reiterated, visibly affected and with tears in his eyes.

Another neighbor assured that "this neighborhood belongs to us, nobody takes us out."

"If they make us a payment plan, we are willing to pay. Everyone is willing to pay," he said.

An official Okupa

The program also showed the case of an occupation in Mercedes' land, with the particularity that the person

who intruded on private property was a judicial official

.

Jorge Martín Calzetta

filed a lawsuit against

Yesica Nocetti

, secretary of UFIJ No. 6 of Mercedes, who not only occupied a land for which he had the papers, but

also threatened to invent a cause for him

.


"They don't give you a criminal case if you forget about the land," said the man who was told by the woman's lawyer.

She said that she made a viral letter on Facebook and that the official threatened everyone in the city who shared it

Journalist Ivan Vanney assured that Nocetti's lawyer told him to delete the note and

threatened to make a gender complaint

.

"I can't buy this again, I have nothing else. They took it from me out of nowhere, taking advantage of power," said Calzetta, who continues to fight in the courts.


The classic monologue

Before the reports, Lanata recalled the main issues of recent days: the dollar crisis, the increase in poverty according to INDEC data, the increase in cases of coronavirus and assured that while all this happens "in the Government they are disconnected ".

Lanata opened her program with a monologue dedicated to the sociopolitical reality of the last days.

First, she referred to the 200-day quarantine as a "bicentennial."

"We do not know if we are on the peak, the plateau or the burro hill," he added.

Then he reviewed the new economic measures presented by the Minister of Economy, Martín Guzmán.

Thus, he spoke about the new restriction for the purchase of dollars to those who receive their salary thanks to the ATP program.

Given that, he ironically affirmed: "In six months they could not implement a registry to count the cases of coronavirus, but to block you from buying dollars they crossed all the data very quickly."

Later he referred to the latest INDEC data on poverty, which reached a percentage of 40.9%.

In that sense, she stressed that this population is the equivalent of "twice that of New York, all of Chile and the combined population of Norway, Sweden and Finland."

It was there that he showed, in a model, the Casa Rosada stuck in a kind of bubble and made a parallel: "While all these things are happening, the Government is disconnected from what is happening. It is in a capsule, a cloud, call it Whatever you want. Of course, while Cristina is concerned about the judges, "he said.
