The collapse of the marquee of the Teatro Argentino de La Plata this Sunday -a work recently reopened by Axel Kicillof after a mentioned million-dollar investment- generated political controversies after the governor came out to minimize the incident, which he limited to detailing that
"
they
fell two (2) glasses"
.
From the Municipality that Julio Garro commands, they harshly reproached him this Monday and warned that the fall of the billboards, when there was a concert and a fair underway with thousands of spectators, "miraculously, it was not a tragedy
.
"
The one who crossed over to Kicillof was
Marcelo Leguizamón Brown
, Secretary of the Government of La Plata.
The Garro official cited a tweet from the governor in which he relativized the incident and replied to a
belated statement from the provincial Culture area
in charge of the theater complex and commanded by the ultra-Kirchnerist
Florencia Saintout
, former dean of the Faculty of Journalism of the UNLP, redoubt From where Kirchnerism awarded controversial prizes for freedom of expression to politicians and questioned the press, in line with the requirements of the official story.
"With all due respect, Mr. Governor. Let's not minimize what happened. Miraculously it was not a tragedy," said the La Plata official.
Leguizamón recalled and ratified, as Clarín had reported, that at the time of the fall of the front structure of the theater "there were 2,000 spectators inside the theater and the detachment of part of the entrance canopy was added to the third floor windows with a risk of falling.
"
, which should have been supported in a joint operation.
"Thanks to the
work of the Fire Department and Civil Defense,
it was possible to reduce the risk so that the neighbors could leave without problems", regarding the real possibility that the fall of materials that could have caused injuries, given the concurrence of the place.
But the official did not stop there.
"I remember that the people of La Plata have already suffered
the consequences of the make-up works
that are carried out thinking about the electoral result, but that do not address the structural problems that they have," he accused, with a mention of the floods that the city suffered in 2013, in the management of
Daniel Scioli
.
Marcelo Leguizamón, Secretary of the Government of La Plata and Mayor Julio Garro.
A tough cross with Axel Kicillof.
And then
he questioned the results of the play
that
Kicillof and Saintout reopened just last April 22 , which consisted of an announced general investment of
320 million pesos
in the theater complex where Cristina Kirchner spoke last week
and in the reopening of the Hall Alberto Ginastera, closed since 2017.
"Despite the fact that they seek to hide it or deny it, the Teatro Argentino
continues with the subsoil flooded by the leaks
and the situation that occurred this weekend deserves
to put aside the media fight
and get to work seriously and responsibly," he criticized. the municipal official, while revealing structural problems still unresolved in the place that Saintout manages.
and accused "porteño media" of lying and qualifying his work as
"pathetic"
.
The Kicillof government blamed the wind and the media for the fall of the canopy of the Teatro Argentino
The marquee of the Teatro Argentino de La Plata, the place where Cristina Kirchner reappeared this week with a so-called "master class", collapsed this Sunday and a room where
a concert was taking place
had to be evacuated, despite the fact that the
Kicillof government relativized that point
later: he framed it as
a "careful exit" and "orderly"
coinciding with the end of the event in progress.
"The evacuation has a protocol. Such an evacuation did not happen.
There were guides
indicating that [the public] go to Calle 9," insisted spokespersons for the Theater, several hours after the incident: it was at 6:00 p.m. and the government addressed it in its recent
communication at 9:00
p.m.
In addition to the semantic discussion about the staged operation, the Saintout area seemed concerned in denying the participation of Civil Defense in the exit of the spectators who, always according to the Buenos Aires version, had to withdraw through "three of the six gates, because
in
the that faced Calle 10
there was a crane working
".
The crane in front of the Teatro Argentino, after the collapse of its marquee this Sunday.
Late this Sunday night, firefighters proceeded to "
remove a window panel from the third floor
" because, like the entire roof of the entrance, it was at risk of falling.
According to what was officially reported, then "they ended up removing all the signs on the left side [facing 10th Street] for safety and the access area to the dock and
the stairway was fenced off
."
Even so, the Kicillof government minimized in official statements the collapse of the canopy as "
a partial detachment
of a plaque from the signage on the eaves of the 51st Avenue entrance."
After insisting that "the situation
did not cause injuries or the interruption of activities
" at the Teatro Argentino, then the Kicillof civil service went on to accuse the situation.
First, the culprit was the wind.
The front of the Theater gave way as a "
consequence of the strong gusts
" that affected La Plata this Sunday.
However, that marquee was
the only one affected
.
But Kicillof himself, quite late, decided to find his own
fault in the media
that reported the event.
"Due to the storm, 2 (two) windows fell from a canopy outside the Teatro Argentino. But some
Buenos Aires media lie
to make it appear that the roof of the Ginastera Hall collapsed. The performances were not even suspended.
Pathetic
, "he tweeted. the governor, concerned about how what happened was reported.
