Life, death and everything else
Like a nightmare that refuses to abandon this week's death to show his face again threatening in the country. It costs a lot to write these lines in the middle of the celebrations for the success of the selection, but events occur when events happen, and I can think of nothing more important these days that what happened in San Carlos de Bariloche.
The truth is that, with the exception of Dante as the bomb episodes of AMIA, the fire or the fall of Cro-Magnon government of Fernando de la Rua, is difficult to find in the last decade and a half of Argentina's history of repression as serious a fact.
To be synthetic:
First, a policeman killed in the back, shot in the neck, Diego Bonefoi, a boy of fifteen. Then the police
same repression of demonstrators protesting the killing. Thus, more than twenty people need to be hospitalized, seriously injured. And in this context, two people are killed.
occurred in these years that the police killed protesters, and in Neuquen with Carlos Fuentealba or station Avellaneda, and Dario Maximiliano Kosteki Santillan. But that has not happened yet and then the police shot back to kill the protesters for the first murder. The reaction to the deaths of Fuentealba or Kosteki and Santillan had political effects that lasted for many years. A president, Eduardo Duhalde, had to hand over power ahead of schedule by the second inning and Jorge Sobisch-governor was ending his political career for the murder of Fuentealba.
For various reasons, one of them is the World Cup, these days run the risk of Bariloche crimes are exhausted in a couple of marches for victims and penalties for, just a charge.
The provincial governor called Miguel Saiz, is radically at this time aligned with the national government, and has only asked not to make "political" with the "tragedy." None received first-line authority to the families of the victims. The Ombudsman of the province of Rio Black, Ana Piccinini, accumulates for months complaints of violations of human rights by local police, the local executive branch chose not to attend.
Bariloche's episode takes place in a demanding context in which, during the past year and a half, and there are several deaths and disappearances caused by liability police. And it's very strange, "for want of a caring, that the powers involved, the national government, provincial, do not give a single signal to limit the streak.
worth reviewing the facts to understand what it is.
On January 31, 2009 Crease disappeared Luciano, a teenager of La Matanza. Luciano had been pressured by the Buenos Aires to steal and deliver the booty to the police. There are testimonies of prisoners who saw him at the police station in her neighborhood. The book income of detainees to the police station just plucked a blade of the day Luciano disappeared. The officers were transferred. But never Governor Daniel Scioli welcomed the family, which was not attended or listened to representatives of national government.
In November last year, the Federal Police savagely repressed and no reason to hundreds of young people waiting to get to a concert of Manowar group in the Velez stadium. The repression was filmed by the GPS program Rolando Graña leading American TV. As part of that episode was killed Ruben Carballo, another poor boy, like all three of Bariloche and Luciano Crease. The outspoken Chief of Staff Aníbal Fernández little evasive on the subject. The versions that gave the police pointed to blame the victim - "I was drunk", "hanged himself from a dangerous place to sneak into the stadium - and never clarified anything about the repression.
The Ombudsman of the Federal Capital, Alicia Pierini, is also well documented abductions and disappearances of Jonathan and Ezekiel White, who were threatened by the Federal Police until they were killed and their bodies were hidden for weeks. Family members are subjected to a long journey and fail than anyone, except Pierini, listen.
In the same week that came up with Bariloche, there was another striking fact. The police tried to prevent an assault on Ramos Mejía and criminals tried to escape with a hostage. There was then a shootout, although the hostage's wife begged the officers not to shoot because he feared for the life of her husband. Finally, Emiliano Martino was shot. Two days later, Governor Daniel Scioli went on to explain that an assassin's bullet had come from the police. "It violates the confidentiality of judicial investigations," replied Emily's dad. Marcelo Sain, a security expert and former head of the Airport Security Police of this government, said: "It's an outrage that the police open fire in that context and that the governor supports. Always, the ultimate goal of police is to preserve life. " In any case, the shooting of Ramos Mejia is less spectacular but referring to what happened in October 1999 in Ramallo. Sain
part, along with other political leaders and human rights organizations such as former minister León Arslanian, the prosecutor Hugo Canyon or the director of CELS, Gaston Chillier, the Assembly Public Safety, which said in a statement referred to the murders of Bariloche, highlights:
"The events of yesterday are a direct consequence of delegating the management of security officers who were already committed to the irregular functioning of the police and highlight the need to completely rethink management this issue in the province. The operation of the BORA, a group that already has serious allegations of violence in other towns in the area as El Bolson, must be reviewed urgently. Justice must also provide for sanctions that will fit, both members of this group, as the provincial police officers and political leaders of their actions. It is necessary to find the culprits and ensure that the murder of Bonefoi and two deaths during the crackdown not go unpunished. "
An inescapable political element is that all police-referred to the Rio Negro and the Federal-Buenos Aires under the leadership national government officials or their principal allies in each of the provinces. The silence of the authorities on these issues is, at least, very eloquent and, if not corrected, will sooner or later under questioning one of his finest achievements, which is respect for human rights picky. There should be no differences in the reactions when the deaths or disappearances linked to produce a police Duhalde, a Sobisch, a Scioli, Saiz or because, if any, would generate natural suspicion about the existence of a politically sensitive placement. It is curious, incidentally, the enthusiasm aroused by some militant anti-deserved denunciation of UCEP Mauricio Macri, and indifference to these facts incomparably more serious. As if a rod to measure different life, death and everything else.
"We want police to look after us, not a police force that kills us," said Sandro Bonefoi Diego during the funeral of his murdered son.
