Within the framework of the general elections, Lanús was the scene of an episode that generated tension and crossed accusations between the candidates of Together for Change (JxC) and Unión por la Patria (UxP). In this regard, in one of the schools where the elections were taking place, they reported that A UxP prosecutor harassed and made sexual comments to his JxC counterpartwho went to the police station with a prosecutor from the Left Front (FIT) to accuse him of gender violence.
The incident occurred at the Estrada School in Lanús Oeste and the Specialized Fiscal Unit (UFI) 8 intervened. According to the witness statement, the woman reported: “Approximately at 1:30 p.m. (…) a robust male, of dark hair, gray hair, approximately 1.80 meters tall, who stands in front of me and points his finger at me at the height of my temple and tells me: ‘Do you have a problem with us?‘, to which I said no. At that moment I had a panic attack because I was afraid that this guy would scare me.“.
Fraud, attacks and complaints of “fake news”: accusations crossed between the ruling party and the opposition
And he added: “Then This guy started arguing with the other prosecutors and I went to the bathroom since I was shocked by the situation. In the morning this same guy approached me at the table where I was with a colleague and told us: ‘You are prettier than us‘ and he left. “Afterwards I went to the police station to declare what happened.”
For her part, the FIT prosecutor agreed with the description of the events, indicating that the young woman “started crying and had a panic attack.” In addition to this, she stated that Julián Álvarez, candidate for mayor for UxP, entered the police station in an “arrogant” manner and threatened the officer: “When we were testifying in the office, Mr. Julián Álvarez wanted to enter with arrogance and told the head of the police station, raising his finger ‘Fix this for me now, free me the person you have held there‘”. However, he continued, the commissioner “did not let him in,” so the applicant “stayed out there” and the alleged victim “again began to become distressed.”
Álvarez was the first to speak out about the incident, accusing his competitor Cambiomita and former prosecutor Mariano Leguiza of break into the school and “irregularly” arrest one of its prosecutors. “The former prosecutor Mariano Leguiza and current official of Diego Kravetz broke into the Estrada School in Lanús and instructed Deputy Commissioner Carlos Paz of the First Police Station to arrest an attorney general of Unión por la Patria,” the candidate warned through from your X account (formerly Twitter).
And he added: “At this time The companion is detained irregularly and without prior complaint at said Lanús police station. We demand his immediate release from the competent authorities.”
In response to the camper’s accusations, Kravetz, interim mayor replacing Néstor Grindetti and candidate for the local executive for JxC, accused his rival of “violence, fake news and dirty campaign”, which he considered “a La Cámpora classic”. “The attorney general of Unión por la Patria was never detained, not even for a minute, despite the fact that he insulted and threatened our attorney general since 8 in the morning,” he explained through X.
“Not content with provoking her and making misogynistic comments to her for several hours, he tried to attack her when she entered the room to replace tickets. Everyone present saw it. He ended up at the police station, where they notified him of the complaint, back, for attacking a girl. Julián Álvarez ‘rescued’ him, kicking into a commissioner’s office, whom he also threatened to send to Trenque Lauquen. “They are a lying machine,” Kravetz concluded.
