The closing act of the Frente de Todos campaign in Tapebicuá, Corrientes, ended abruptly this Thursday when Miguel Arias, a provincial deputy who was on stage, was shot in the abdomen.
Gloria Pared, a candidate for vice
-
mayor
of that town, was the one who was at the microphone at the time, and she recounted how she experienced the violent situation.
“
I am still in shock
.
It is an attack on democracy, ”said Pared in an interview with TN.
During the "closing of the campaign, a moment of democracy", Pared was a sadly privileged witness, because when an assailant at the moment unknown shot the legislator, she
"was the one who was speaking, she was on stage
.
"
"Miguel Arias was accompanying us. He was sitting, I was standing.
It was a moment
. I moved because I was talking and that's when I heard the shouts of Mayor Martín Ascúa calling for the ambulance. 'Ambulance!' .
From there, while the mayor shouted
"a bullet, a bullet!"
, Wall, logically, was "very nervous".
Asked if she had any
hypotheses
about who may have perpetrated the attack, she was surprised that something of this nature happened in a town of only 800 inhabitants.
“It is very rare that whoever shot has disappeared just like that.
We all know each other, we are all neighbors, acquaintances
.
This is incredible, terrible, ”he lamented.
What Wall is clear about is his desire for a speedy recovery for Arias: "" May he get better, God wants him to get better. And
that this does not go unpunished
, that it be investigated how it was, who it was, who that shot was for ", concluded, in keeping with the request of Justice made by Alberto Fernández.
