In the face of this constant tension, prosecutor Carlos Schaefer explained how his daily work is in one of the heaviest cases of recent years. 'I have a team of prosecutors specialized for this case, and our line is not to follow any political issue, much less a partisan one,' Schaefer began his account in a conversation with the Argentine News Agency. In this context, the prosecutor stated that they work 'with facts and evidence' without allowing pressure from any sector, although he emphasized that if at any point in the investigation there was any kind of political involvement or pressure, 'that will be exposed at the trial, which is why it is oral and public.' 'They have asked me if we received pressures or threats during the case, but I clarify that it never happened to me, nor would I let it happen. Clearly, things could have been done differently, there is no doubt, and that is demonstrated by the fact that there were people who came to hinder,' he concluded. In Buenos Aires, March 3 (NA) — Political pressure in the case of the disappearance of Loan Peña in the province of Corrientes is one of the central axes, and the question is whether it helps or hinders the investigation. 'I take the necessary measures and if at any moment it happens, I know what I have to do,' he alleged. Faced with this scenario, Schaefer demands the need for the trial to take place as soon as possible: 'We demand that the oral and public debate be held, because sometimes they talk, and sometimes many of us draw conclusions that we previously omitted.' 'We understand that the first action that was taken was complicated because the main actor was Commissioner Maciel, so from there, we started badly.'
