The chief of staff, Santiago Cafiero, referred to the incidents that occurred in front of the presidential residence of Olivos in the protest last Saturday against the VIP vaccination and, in a strange explanation, assured that the unionists who support the Government
"had arrived earlier "
.
"There was a confrontation between sympathizers who had gone to the President's house to support him. As far as I saw, they had arrived before," the official explained in a dialogue with
Continental
radio
.
And he added: "
All kinds of violence are wrong
. He did not justify it. That also has to be put into context. I was not in the place, I was not there. I saw images."
The incident occurred around 5 pm on Saturday, when a Kirchnerista union chief from the northern zone "first" took the protesters and mobilized some 300 union members from different unions.
With the permission of the Police, who interrupted the traffic on Maipú very early, the railroad Ricardo Lovaglio entered in combis that parked near the door of the Presidential Palace.
When people arrived to complain about the VIP vaccination scandal, Lovaglio and his followers displayed a long Argentine flag as a perimeter fence so that the protesters could not reach the sector of the Quinta door.
What began with insults and threats, from both sides, ended several times with pineapples.
The pushing continued until the sun went down, in a tense climate.
