"Córdoba has a recognized state policy in the country regarding sports safety. We have been able to hold mass meetings with both parties without any incidents and we will be custodians of that collective achievement achieved by the State, leaders, players, parties and social communicators , because we conceive security as a collective construction that cannot be tarnished by

Club statement

From the official Facebook of Bella Vista, they published a statement where they

condemned

the violent episode and announced

"severe measures

.

"

In the defense, the institution denied "any connection to the facts" and criticized any type of sanction: "For acts that are unrelated to the Institution, they want to punish us severely."

The full text:

The Bella Vista Athletic Club informs that due to the facts of public knowledge, it will take the most severe measures to those responsible for these facts.

We recall that the Club repudiates all types of violence and denies any connection with these events beyond our control.

That the Institution with more than 90 years of experience cannot be discredited by facts that are unrelated to it and that in recent years we have shown that we are capable of attending mass shows in which Bella Vista mobilized thousands of fans and there were no a single incident being that in those encounters we were defeated.

That shows that Bella Vista is much bigger than these unpleasant facts but the good that was done never made it into the media. And Justice is so unfair with us that for events that are unrelated to the Institution, they want to punish us severely, although another club in Córdoba that is accused of attempted robbery that there are images of a much larger brawl with recordings that show that they were inside and outside the stadium of the one that occurred in Bella Vista and is not on the lips of anyone, but it does not matter Bella Vista is sanctioned and discredited for being just Bella Vista.

We ask, please, that today we are more united than ever.

That the differences of thought are put aside and today we are many more from Bella Vista all and let us show that we will be able to turn the page and make it clear that we are one of the greatest in this City of Córdoba and that these unpleasant events will never again happen again.

Another violent episode

On the Las Palmas court, the press officer for Argentino Peñarol, Francisco Bolletta, denounced that he was

attacked by leaders of the local club

when he tried to film the incidents that took place on the platform between local fans and visiting relatives.

"Two members of the Club Atlético Las Palmas came, they grabbed me from behind and started beating me while they shouted

'take your camera out'

. Luckily a manager from Argentino Peñarol was close to me and was able to take the camera and another club employee came to separate "Bolletta said in dialogue with Télam.
