The athlete
Ariel Suárez
became known in full strict quarantine during the coronavirus pandemic for going
rowing in the Luján River in
breach of the rules of social and mandatory isolation.
A neighbor of
San Fernando
, after being five months without practicing his discipline, last August they produced a certificate for breach of quarantine and his case became known on social networks.
On Sunday, Suárez showed how he
went to vote
and stressed that the elections were an opportunity for Argentines to express their will.
The Olympic finalist in London 2012 and Pan American champion in Lima 2019 was given table No. 100 of the Instituto Madre Rafaela in his neighborhood, located in one of the most neglected and humble areas of the North zone district.
"This is for my values, for my right, for the helicopters, for everything that we have lived through all this time and for Argentina," said Suárez, alluding to the ships that flew over the Paraná and Luján basins to control that no one was in water during quarantine.
Ignoring the 2020 restrictions. Despite not having the authorization to train, Suárez went out to row.
“I never hesitated to vote.
More at that time it was
key to defend your position and it was the first step to say enough,
"emphasized the rower.
While he was waiting for his turn in line, after some journalists approached him and named him, the neighbors realized who he was.
“They started looking at me and clapping.
They made 'strength' hand gestures and said, 'I kept fighting.'
The recognition of the people made me very happy because that is what is really worth… it is the support, it means that one is doing things correctly ”.
And he adds: “I am an athlete who left my best years to my country, I aspire to represent my municipality accordingly.
I come from a village and I want to show that anyone can achieve change ”.
After a wait of only half an hour, "there was a line but it flowed at a good pace," he resumed his work as a prosecutor in a technical college.
As in previous years,
Suárez this time had to fulfill the role of attorney general
.
Proud of his municipality.
With great pride, he comments that he is from San Fernando and thanks all the neighbors for their support.
After the election results were known, the athlete commented: “I think the Argentine people began to open their eyes.
We Argentines were able to see what is happening so far and, through these results, we are telling those who manage the country to this day that they are not doing things well and that we are going to continue saying 'enough' within two months ”.
His current position on the country's politics was marked by what he experienced on August 10 when the health authorities enabled soccer training.
"If football returns to training, I will too."
In this way, he threw his boot into the Luján river and, after five months, he did his first outdoor practice.
However, as he did not have the official authorization to row again, a certificate was drawn up for failing to comply with the isolation rules.
“
A judge never called me
.
In the event that someone contacts me, I will take care of what I did ", says the athlete."
To people undecided to vote in the next elections, and to Argentines in general, he says: “You have to be encouraged to fulfill your duty as a citizen.
Let's stop being afraid as a society and shutting up.
Many people want to participate, to be a prosecutor ... I encourage them to do so.
November is a unique moment in Argentina ”.
