The two fans murdered meters from two stadiums, in Chacarita and Mendoza, were the culminating point of a wave of violent events that shook the return of the promotion tournaments. The Ministry of National Security took note and prepared measures that would allow stop the wave of crimes.


Two fans murdered

.

One on the Chacarita field, another in the vicinity of the Víctor Legrotaglie stadium in Mendoza.

Shooting at the José María Minella stadium in Mar del Plata.

Incidents and suspended match in Cañuelas.

The return of the Ascenso led to a series of crimes that put

the Ministry of National Security on alert

.

And although each jurisdiction has its autonomy,

Patricia Bullrich

is not indifferent to what happened in just 48 hours.

For this reason, while politics discusses the Law of Bases and Starting Points for the Freedom of Argentines in Congress, the Minister of Security has already begun to keep her eye on the ball.

And if the premise is to enforce the law and establish order,

football will be no exception

In that sense, an Emergency Plan

is being developed

to eradicate violence and crimes on and off the field.

The goal is to finish the bars once and for all.

And although a stronger law is needed in this regard, the idea is to move forward with the tools that are available.

That is why Bullrich entrusted

Franco Berlin

, the nation's new director of Security at Sports Events, to

organize a meeting with all the representatives of the provinces

.

This 25-year-old law student (he is in the third year of his degree at the University of Business and Social Sciences) has no jurisdiction within the framework of the security operation, a function that each jurisdiction takes care of with its respective force.

Conditions of a federal country, it is clear.

The entity that leads Berlin provides support that is the

Safe Tribune

program , which was launched in 2016, when Bullrich held the same position as today, but during the administration of

Mauricio Macri

.

The access control system to the stadiums prevents the entry of people with

the Right of Admission or Restriction of Attendance

;

Also, those who are

fugitives from Justice

for other crimes that are not linked to football itself.

Berlin, however, has the power to convene all the country's provinces with their respective football security representatives, La Liga, the AFA, and the presidents of the clubs to jointly put together an Emergency Security Plan. in Football.

“From our place we are going to be inflexible with the sanctioning measures for those violent people who cause disturbances or commit crimes on or off the field

,” government sources confided to

Clarín

.

And they added:

“To end the bars, the commitment and support of all actors is needed;

leaving aside the political flag

. ”

Guillermo Cimadevila, man of Justice, arrives to command Aprevide.

From the Province of Buenos Aires, where the

APreViDe

(Agency for the Prevention of Violence in Sports) operates, they have already announced that they will accept the invitation, although for now

they have not received any call in this regard

.

Yes, the concern about what happened this weekend, especially in Chacarita.

On Saturday, at halftime of the match between Funebrero and Deportivo Maipú,

Jorge Durán

(43 years old) was killed by two stab wounds.

On Monday they arrested

Oscar Alberto Argüello

, 31 years old, residing in Villa Ballester.

He would be the material author of the crime.

He is at the disposal of Justice and in the next few hours he will be investigated.

The leaders of the San Martín club already know that the field will be suspended.

The same will happen with the Cañuelas

stadium

, where the match with Midland could not be played due to disturbances between two factions of the bar.

The result was three injured police officers and one detained.

On Sunday,

Ricardo Nicolás Balle

(33) died from a stab wound to the chest during a brawl between bars that occurred prior to the match between Gimnasia de Mendoza and Defensores de Belgrano.

There are four detainees

.

And this Tuesday, APreViDe reported that it arrested

Facundo Emiliano Vanega

(20), from Mar del Plata, accused of shooting several shots at a group of Aldosivi fans before the match against Atlético Rafaela at the Minella.

Internal in Aldosivi: a fan shot others before the game.



He was arrested.

The general consensus, regardless of jurisdiction, is that strengthening security will not be enough.

We must add the commitment of the entire political arc.
