Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner posted on his Twitter account a video showing the key moments of the stone that shattered the windows of his office in the Senate. The text that accompanies the images highlights two central elements: the aggressors marked the window with red paint bombs and the Buenos Aires police took regarding 20 minutes to intervene. It was an attack, the vice president wrote, “that someone planned and had executed.” The hypothesis of a planned and organized event is analyzed by the federal judge Maria Eugenia Capuchettiin charge of the investigation, where at least eight people have already been identified who would not have political affiliation at least detected so far and the suspicion is that they may have been hired for the occasion.
The individualization of the suspects was achieved with facial identification software from the Federal Police, which also links faces with personal information. Some initial information was delivered to Judge Capuchetti by representatives of the force who met with her yesterday, who was waiting late in the followingnoon for the results of a long list of measures and the complete police summary. The people involved so far are between 20 and 25 years old, apparently with no connection to each other or clear political ties, so it is suspected that they were hired for this specific and targeted attack.which by chance did not injure anyone, since in the vice president’s private office they were together with her, when the attack began, deputy Máximo Kirchner, senator Anabel Fernández Sagasti and senator Oscar Parrilli.
The Security Minister, Hannibal Fernandez, had already said that “the stone throws at Cristina’s office were undoubtedly deliberate” and reported that the issue had been “prosecuted.” She raised it when he went out to meet the Secretary General of La Cámpora and Minister of Development of Buenos Aires, Andres “Crow” Larroque, who had questioned “the government’s silence and parsimony in the face of the attack.” Minister Fernández also retorted that the President had communicated with her and with a collaborator of hers and that he instructed him “so that we act rigorously as we did and without repression.” CFK’s new tweet is part of that scenario and emerges from the tension within the Frente de Todos before the agreement with the IMF, which has deepened since the resignation of Maximo Kirchner to the presidency of the official bloc of Deputies. Just yesterday the chief of staff, John Manzurrepudiated the attack on the vice president’s office “on behalf of the national government.”
The images that Cristina Fernández de Kirchner released are taken, she explained in her message, from the Federal Police security camera located on the corner of Hipólito Yrigoyen and Entre Ríos. The one that acts, as can be seen, is a small group separated from the mobilization of social organizations and leftist parties. The attack lasted 23 minutes during which the stones did not stop. At 15.07 it is noticed how they shoot red paint bombs once morest the window from the first floor where the vice president’s office is. This marked the place where the stones would point. At 3:12 p.m. someone from his team planted a cell phone as if to film the attack from inside. At “3:21 p.m., 20 minutes following the attack began, the first police officers arrive,” says the text that accompanies the images. There you can see a large cordon of police from the City of Buenos Aires. In the Buenos Aires force they maintain that they had to cross the concentration avoiding a stampede and that the scene would end in repression. In the Ministry of National Security they do not rule out that this was the case.
As is evident, CFK questions the police delay and makes it clear that it was a planned attack. The dissemination of the video -which once more generated some discomfort in sectors of the Casa Rosada-, reinforces the message and tries to stop other versions of the opposition that sought to convey suspicions regarding the ruling party itself and also question the absence of fencing. The Buenos Aires Minister of Security, Marcelo D’Alessandro, had said that the national government had asked him not to have fences. The President of the Chamber of Deputies, Sergio Massaclarified that security within Congress is the responsibility of the Federal Police, but outside it is a matter for the government of Horacio Rodriguez Larreta.
Capuchetti investigates the attack on Congress, under the possible crimes of aggravated damage and public intimidation. According to those close to the investigation, for now there are eight people identified through different videos whose names are kept confidential while evidentiary measures are carried out. For now, it has not been detected that they have a history or relationship with each other, which would support the theory that they were recruited specifically for this attack on the vice president’s office. Minister Fernández maintained: “The investigation is very advanced. I don’t think they were social organizations that were demonstrating sensibly. It was someone who sought to do that because the red marks are not a fluke“.
In the Buenos Aires Justice they also process two cases for episodes in the area of the Plaza de los Dos Congresos when the Chamber of Deputies debated the agreement with the IMF, due totempted once morest authority, injury and damage, which are crimes within its jurisdiction. In one of the files, the Eastern Flagrancy Unit of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, in charge of Mariano Camblong, requested the preventive detention of a man named Oscar Santillan (who would be linked to one of the mobilized groups), which was signed by the Misdemeanor Criminal Judge Norberto Circo. Judge Capuchetti traces connections to that file as well.
Beyond direct authorship of the attack, the main question is who organized the aggressors, who acted with a clear objective. CFK highlighted in the first video that it released the great “paradox” that it warned of in the attack: “The office of the person who stood up to the vulture funds, who kept the IMF out of the country, fulfilling the legacy of my colleague Néstor Kirchner who also built With his decision, the Front of All that allowed him to defeat Mauricio Macri. Paradoxically or intentionally? “He asked himself. It is expected that there will be news soon in the judicial investigation in Comodoro Py.
