The video was made viral by a spectator who was at the Niceto Club bowling alley in Palermo on Saturday night.
When the Doctor's recital was halfway through, another person lit a flare and raised it with his arm raised.
Immediately, the prevention staff came to turn it off, the lights came on,
the concert was suspended and the place was evacuated
.
But there are no arrests, because although they were identified, those responsible were not detained nor a police report made.
Now, the investigation is in the hands of the Buenos Aires Justice.
The local minute book contains what was written by the City firefighter that each so-called "class C" location must have,
since the Cromañón tragedy occurred.
"At 11:15 p.m., a person from the public was detected lighting a smoke flare. The event was immediately
canceled and, together with security personnel, the premises were evacuated
," says what is written in the book.
According to official sources confided to
Clarín
, the premises complied with what was planned in such a case when pyrotechnics were detected.
However, Justice activated the investigation to determine what failed in the previous controls, which did not detect the entry of flares, and
why 911 was not called nor the people involved were detained.
Marco Vandoni, the young man who made the issue public after uploading it to his social networks, said that he was subjected to a search in which they made him
throw an empty water bottle but that he did not go through the metal detector.
"The entry was with a
search.
I went with a backpack because I came from work and they searched me. They made me throw a plastic bottle. I say, what criteria is there if they let a flare pass and make you throw an empty bottle.
There is a scanner that is seen there, but is very rarely used,"
said the young man.
The relatives of the Cromañón victims participate in the inspection of clubs and demanded that the authorities not relax.

He also said that "there were two reactions from the audience. Those who were closest to the stage, due to the euphoria of the moment, continued jumping. And those who were further back, like me,
were shocked.
We did not understand how they lit a flare with the history we have here after
Cro-Magnon".
From the Government Control Agency (AGC), the Buenos Aires Government agency that is in charge of inspection and control, they reported that when they became aware of what happened
they filed a complaint with the corresponding Prosecutor's Office.
There they asked "that the site's video cameras be used to establish the responsibilities of both the commercial establishment and those who lit the flares."
In addition, they said that "they acted quickly. The local private security personnel along with fire personnel intervened and extinguished the lit smoke flares. The musical show was immediately canceled and ended and the audience present
was evacuated. In the local".
The investigation is in the hands of prosecutor
Maximiliano Vence,
who has the material to try to find those responsible for lighting the flare, an act that is classified as a
contravention.
"This happens due to the lack of commitment of some bolicheros.
Money is worth more than life.
Added to this is the young age, both of the musicians and of the boys, who have been left with
a part of lost history
,"
Nilda Gómez, a lawyer and member of the
Families for Life Organization
, which brings together relatives of Cromañón victims and actively participates in the inspection processes of nightclubs such as Niceto Club,
told
Clarín .
"Now we are participating with the AGC in everything that has to do with the investigation of what happened in Niceto," said Gómez, who lost his son, Mariano Alexis Benítez, in the 2004 fire at the Once bowling alley.
And he added:
"Cro-Magnon was a crime of greed and corruption
, and what happened in Niceto is the same. It is annoying that
the social crime that was the Cro-Magnon massacre was not understood.
Both the Nation and the City are obliged to take charge of all because the responsibility is divided into three equal parts: the private, the Nation and the City."
Gómez also explained to
Clarín
that what has to do with the inspection and control of the place is the responsibility of the AGC and the City.
He said that the NGO works together, supervising.
In addition, he claimed that the Ministry of Justice of the Nation made the
observatory
invisible , which is created by law but does not function.
And he explained that the requirements of the Registry of Companies and Workers for Admission and Permanence Control (RENCAP)
are not met either
, which is the body that deals with the so-called
"patovicas" who are in charge of access.
"The clubs have to comply with the law and put someone who is prepared
. But they put big guys, they pay them little, and they don't make them comply with the training courses that are mandatory. It can't be that from Families for Life we are all active time, without a budget and with many fewer tools than the national, provincial and municipal governments," Goméz highlighted.
And he also denounced a "laxity on the part of the authorities: they are there because Ibarra killed 194 boys. And for example, the Buenos Aires Ministry of Education did not put activities on its calendar for March 30, which is a day that is taken for reflection on the Cro-Magnon massacre".
“Although it is
our obligation that no pyrotechnic items enter the room,
we are still investigating what happened.
While we do so, we want to make it clear that we repudiate these negligent acts that still continue to generate indignation and, above all, pain in the Argentine music scene," Niceto Club explained on their Instagram account.
"While we do so, we want to make it clear that we repudiate these negligent acts that still continue to generate indignation and, above all, pain in the Argentine music scene. And even more so now, as it will be 20 years since one of the worst tragedies of our time," they added. in reference to the Cro-Magnon tragedy.
