Close to the first month since the murder of Máximo Jerez (12) in Rosario, a neighborhood school was left without classes this Thursday morning due to threats related to crime.
At the door they left a note with a bullet attached
and pointed at the perpetrators of the crime.
"
Neither the Villalba brothers nor the Gendarmerie are going to save them
. You don't mess with creatures, giles
," said a grid sheet found in the primary school that works on Genoa at 6400. Near the corner with Cullen Street, a policeman who provided additional services picked up the message and made the complaint.
The 1319 José Ortolani Elementary School is about ten blocks from Los Pumitas, the neighborhood where the 11-year-old boy was killed and three other boys were injured.
According to the provincial Justice, the children were victims outside of a conflict between gangs dedicated to drug dealing in the northwest of Rosario.

The message found by the authorities refers to the protagonists of that dispute.
The recipients are Alex Ibáñez and Nico Castillo
.
The first is known as "El Araña" and is in the Piñero prison, but the investigators have him in their sights as a reference to one of the groups that sells drugs in that sector of the city.
The second is his cousin "Macuá", imprisoned since he was charged as the driver of the car used by Máximo's murderers.
In the Empalme Graneros neighborhood, the managers emphasized that
the threats are directed at people outside the institution
.
Through a statement, they announced the reopening from 11:30 in the morning so that the children can go to the dining room and normal attendance in the afternoon shift was confirmed.
While the Criminal Investigation Agency (AIC) inspected the establishment, the kindergarten that operates in the same place carried out its usual activities.

The presence of the federal security forces has been maintained in the area since the Nation sent 400 additional agents to the city at the beginning of March, but that did not prevent the
message signed by "La Mafia"
from reaching the door of the institution.
Another attack with two injured
The note was not the only violent episode recorded in the last few hours in the west of Rosario.
In the Ludueña neighborhood,
a shooting attack ended with two boys aged 16 and 19 admitted
to the Clemente Álvarez Emergency Hospital (Heca).
According to the complaint, criminals on motorcycles and cars shot at them near the intersection of Magallanes and Arévalo.

"Schools are not the recipients of violence, they are the place to care for and protect
," said Omar Perotti about the complaint.
The governor of Santa Fe considered that it is necessary to "prevent better" and added: "We can and must improve."
For his part, Pablo Javkin slipped that the mafia message may be part of the "responses to some positive things that happened, particularly in the disarmament of some gangs."
The mayor of Rosario remarked that threats of this type can only come from "prisoners" or from the same organizations that "bring drugs" to the city.
The head of the Municipality confirmed that the day before he met with the family of Máximo Jerez and they are about to start urbanization works in the neighborhood.
The project is part of measures to improve security in the area.
Javkin, meanwhile, noted that leaving anonymous signs on a school door is "quite easy."
Later, he expressed: "Unfortunately, we are going to have to learn how far we give these gangs space to use us as hostages with public extortions."
