In a notable
change of position that brings it closer to the so-called "Bullrich doctrine"
promoted by the Nation, in the last few hours the Buenos Aires government presented a
criminal complaint to investigate the incidents and destruction
caused in the vicinity of Congress after the approval of the Omnibus Law.
Thus, an attempt will be made
to identify all those responsible
for the events that occurred last Friday - there are already 18 detainees, including several bars - and
they will also be charged for the damage to street furniture
caused during the scuffle.
The presentation was made by the Ministers of Justice, Gabino Tapia, and his Security counterpart, Waldo Wolff, before the City Attorney General's Office at the express request of Jorge Macri.
"He who breaks, pays," said the Buenos Aires mayor
and announced that the public ministry "has available the photos and images from the security cameras to be able to identify those responsible, make them pay for the damage they caused and continue the criminal proceedings." corresponding".
The head of the Buenos Aires government insisted that this position represents
"a paradigm shift" with respect to compliance with order and security in the district.
"Now it is the government that says what can and cannot be done in public spaces," he elaborated on a kind of positioning similar to the objectives pursued by the anti-picketing protocol promoted by Bullrich at the national level.
“The violent logic of noisy minorities is over. Our City will have 'zero tolerance' with those who try to break social peace," Macri stressed
and maintained that they will seek to make the political groups or the "vandals" who participated in the destruction last Friday pay for the damages perpetrated on the containers and artifacts of public lighting of the area.
The cost of replacing what was damaged and cleaning the surroundings of the legislative palace was estimated at $106,890,000. However, the City recognized that they will depend on the progress of the case in court to be able to enforce this demand.
"We cannot take the money from those who carried out the march," Wolf said this afternoon in dialogue with TN, while indicating that the prosecution "has the face of the people (involved). We cannot do intelligence but we bring them the images to "Let them say with first and last name who hammered the tiles."
In the presentation made this Saturday, the officials urged the prosecutor on duty to promote the
corresponding preparatory criminal investigation
and to take all necessary measures to clarify the fact and identify those responsible.
As they were able to reconstruct in the City,
"various public assets were vandalized
, wooden fences on public roads were set on fire, as well as garbage cans and containers, tiles on the sidewalks were broken, in order to throw blunt objects at police personnel." .
Furthermore, the document indicated that during the protest “vehicle circulation was hindered, police personnel and other security forces who were dedicated to the task of ensuring public order were attacked in various ways, and the exit of the bus was hindered. Congress building of various people.
As reported, the complaint filed with the Public Prosecutor's Office also claimed that “as
those responsible for the various illicit acts are identified, the corresponding intimation of the facts be issued to them
.”
And, in turn, that
their identity be reliably made known to the presenters, for the purposes of being able to initiate the pertinent pecuniary claims
due to the various effects on the City's public treasury that their conduct has caused."
In the Ministry of National Security, meanwhile, they indicated that so far there were 18 detainees for the incidents that occurred around Parliament.
Among the suspects, there are two people of Chilean nationality involved in the excesses, one of them with a history of violence in her country, and who will request her immediate deportation.
There are also barrabravas from Avellaneda and Lanús, so it is being investigated whether there were instigators who "hired" the violent people who acted on February 2.
“There is a new culture, I have been preaching it for years.
It was difficult for me before because I didn't have the same 'feedback' from the City of Buenos Aires.
Now there is a very strong decision by the national government to support this line,” Bullrich told FM Millenium this Sunday, in a shot at the elevation of the administration headed by Horacio Rodríguez Larreta.
Although the former presidential candidate ordered the Truckers and the social movements gathered at the UTEP
to pay some $40 million for the damage to the street furniture that triggered the march they carried out on December 27 to the Courts against the DNU, so far she has not been able to collect said payment. accreditation

"We did not pay because the ILO and the UN issued a ruling and the protocol contradicts the law," a piquetero leader alleged to this newspaper.
Another Buenos Aires official consulted, meanwhile, confirmed that there is a change in logic in the actions of the City Police at this stage with a reinforcement in the prevention of crime and the illegal occupation of public space.
And he stated
that today they are working "on a joint strategy" with the Nation.
This Monday morning, in fact, there will be a procedure on the corner of Carlos Pellegrini and Juncal
where UTEP militants are expected to protest against the Minister of Human Capital, Sandra Pettovello.
