The violent incidents that occurred outside the National Congress during a protest against cuts to pensions have unleashed a series of accusations. According to Security Minister Patricia Bullrich, these disturbances were organized from municipalities governed by Kirchnerist figures such as Fernando Espinoza and MartÃn Insaurralde, with the aim of "overthrowing the government".
"Consequences and next steps". The police operation resulted in 150 arrests, of which 114 were released. Judge Karina Andrade, responsible for the releases, argued that the detentions violated constitutional rights, which generated harsh criticism from Bullrich. The government announced the introduction of an anti-barra law to combat these violent groups and sanction clubs that collaborate with them. Damage to urban property is estimated at $275 million.
The disturbances involved barras bravas from several clubs linked to political figures such as Luis D'Elia and Luis Barrionuevo. The clashes left multiple injured, including a retiree, a journalist, and a police officer. The effectiveness of preventive measures to dismantle these organizations before the violent events has been questioned.
The march called in defense of retirees turned violent, with groups clashing with security forces. Guillermo Francos, chief of staff, denounced the mobilization as an attempt to generate chaos and discredit the government. No concrete measures have been announced to prevent new episodes of violence.
The barra brava of All Boys, known for its violent history, is pointed out for its ties to Luis D'Elia. During the Kirchnerist government, the relationship between barras bravas and political power was public. The lack of intelligence actions to prevent these events has sparked criticism.
The government of Javier Milei classified the incidents as an attempt at destabilization and is investigating possible international connections behind the violence. The statements of Mario Firmenich and the presence of weapons at the demonstration raise doubts about the lack of preventive measures.
In this scenario, Minister Bullrich has indicated that she possesses photographic evidence linking municipalities governed by Kirchnerist leaders to the organization of the disturbances. The need to prevent new acts of violence remains a central concern.
