The Governor of Buenos Aires Province, Axel Kicillof, along with members of his cabinet such as Andrés Larroque (Development) and Walter Correa (Labor), and some thirty Peronist mayors, signed a strong statement in 'solidarity with comrade Julio De Vido.' Julio De Vido's wife visited him in the Ezeiza prison. According to what Noticias Argentinas learned, the text describes the former Planning Minister's conviction as 'unjust.' The signers expressed concern for the former official's health, warning that 'the deprivation of his liberty could violate the guarantees related to his right to health.' In this context, the petition demands that 'he immediately receive the necessary medical care for the treatment of his chronic disease' and that 'the possibility of granting him house arrest be urgently evaluated.' The communiqué also denounces political persecution: 'It is serious for institutionality that the judicial apparatus is used to persecute leaders, limit political projects, or attempt to criminalize Peronism.' The leaders considered it 'essential to review the proceedings that led to Julio De Vido's current situation' and 'to urgently adopt all necessary measures to safeguard his health and integrity.' In addition to Kicillof, Larroque, and Correa, the petition is signed by mayors Fernando Espinoza (La Matanza), Mayra Mendoza (Quilmes), Mario Secco (Ensenada), Mariano Cascallares (Almirante Brown), Lucas Ghi (Morón), Julio Alak (La Plata), Leonardo Nardini (Malvinas Argentinas), and Juan José Mussi (Berazategui), among others.
