The “Los Pumitas” neighborhood, where oblivion lives

North of the city Rosarioin Empalme Graneros, is the neighborhood “The Pumites”. A place where the absence of the State allowed poverty, violence and drug traffickers to coexist.

An area of ​​humble houses where the working lower class manages to get ahead every day. Like that tightrope walker who tries -in this case through “changas”- to stay on the thin line of poverty avoiding falling into destitution. Where “tomorrow” is the furthest future of him and the most arrogant projection of him.

A neighborhood whose population are children and grandchildren of different indigenous communities, mostly QOM and Tobas. Where the rubble thrown on the sidewalk, the overgrown grasslands and the innumerable bars are already part of the daily scene. Where there is no drinking water and the asphalt, random between the different intersections, is the last memory of an absent State. Forgotten. Where not even “clientelism” bothered to sow votes.

The flag at half mast is not enough to describe the sadness. The Santa Fe Teachers Association denounced, through a statement, that “the situation is unsustainable. The violence carried out by the narco-police gangs has taken over the region”. Meanwhile, the narcos spread bullets and fear. Or worse, bullets and death while the security forces, local politicians, and national politicians accuse each other.
