Fernando Burlando announced that he dropped his candidacy for governor of the province of Buenos Aires, while he is part of the team of lawyers representing the family of Cecilia Strzyzowski, the young woman who disappeared in Chaco and who is presumed to have been the victim of a femicide.
The lawyer published a message through social networks, through which he communicated that he will not participate in the next Simultaneous and Mandatory Open Primaries for the governorship.
"The necessary conditions of consensus and harmony are not given. I see it daily in that scenario that I once called piranha pond, where you attack and bite for a charge and not for the prevalence of ideas and projects that provide solutions to people's claims," he wrote.
Burlando gained prominence during the summer when he was part of the lawsuit in the trial for the crime of Fernando Báez Sosa, for which the rugbiers who beat the young man to death at the exit of a bowling alley in Villa Gesell were convicted.
Months later he announced his Buenos Aires candidacy and even published his first campaign spot, which generated a strong controversy due to the participation in the short film of José Luis Auge, member of the "Banda de Los Hornos" and one of the murderers of José Luis Cabezas, whom he defended as a lawyer in 2000 during the trial for the crime of the photojournalist of the magazine Noticias.
The photo that emerged from the meeting between the lawyer with Bullrich and Grindetti.
Then, he came to meet with Patricia Bullrich and Néstor Grindetti, pre-candidate for governor of the Province for the arming of the former Minister of Security for the Primaries of Together for Change.
"I do not rule out the possibility of being lieutenant governor or vice president, there are many alternatives. I know there are compromises, radicalism is present, but we have to leave the selfishness, that idea of being the center in politics and think not about politics but about the people who need to solve the problems," he said at the time.
Now, he got off the electoral fight, while working on the case of Cecilia Strzyzowski, which shocks the province for the participation of piquetero leaders Emerenciano Sena (58), Marcela Acuña (51) and his son César Sena (19) and his links with Governor Jorge Capitanich.
"We are going to prepare ourselves in these next two years, we are going to improve, to polish to do what has to be done so that our projects are true tools of transformation and valid alternative to the Policies of Failure," he added in the text that confirmed his resignation.
In addition, he said that it was a thoughtful decision, highlighted his decision and pointed to the political leaders "who cling to office" with the sole objective of "increasing their wealth."
"I have the peace of conscience of having tried, I saw the lack of preparation of the candidates and that told me that this is not the time, that the country no longer admits more improvisation," he concluded.
