Buenos Aires, March 4 (NA) — A month after the disappearance of Loan Peña in Corrientes, the boy's family asked Gustavo Valdés, who was the governor of the province at the time, to 'open his eyes' and to come to Nueve de Julio to talk with them. This meeting took place later, but in the capital, in an office at the Government House. As the investigation advanced with several detainees, different hypotheses, and knowledge of the results of expert reports, José Peña, the minor's father, spoke and said: 'I would like the governor to come and give us an answer. It would be important for him to come and talk to us in person,' he stated. According to the Argentine News Agency, this request caused a political stir within the Radical Civic Union that led to the arrangement of a secret meeting with the minor's parents at the end of August, the same day that lawyer Fernando Burlando resigned from the lawsuit. Although it seemed there was a 'ceasefire,' in September of that year, José Peña and María Noguer denounced Valdés for 'malfeasance' and requested his impeachment. The document presented by the current lawyer for the parents, Roberto Méndez, warns 'first of all, concrete actions and second, the concrete absence of government and management actions, prevention and awareness campaigns, sufficient and permanent advertisements, availability of means and personnel, to devote to the search for and finding alive our little Loan.' 'We offer as proof all the proceedings carried out before Judge Cristina Penzo, and also the related ones where there are precedents for the actions of Mr. Governor, celebrating in a tweet that the Loan case would have been closed, with a 'strange and slippery hypothesis of an accident that closes off all the power,' and when from that clue it had been deduced that Loan would be dead and hidden by his 'supposed aggressors and killers,' it was added to the document. 'We are not against them, but they never approached'. 'Let's hope he opens his eyes a little.'
