In Florencio Varela, a new act of violence and drugs shakes the community. Two young people, Paloma Gallardo, 16 years old, and Josué Salvatierra, 14 years old, were found dead on Saturday, February 1, in an open field near the Bosques Bridge. Their parents had reported their disappearance at the fourth police station in Bosques the previous Thursday after they did not return home from the gym.
This tragic event highlights the serious problem of insecurity in the area, fueled by drug trafficking and the violence that prevails in the neighborhoods. While families mourn the loss of these young people, police action seems to hinder investigations and the search for justice.
The municipal management, led by officials like Government Secretary Dono Leidi, boasts about a supposed excellence in their work, but the reality shows that violence and the deaths of young people like Paloma and Josué continue to occur. It is urgent for the authorities to abandon repressive strategies and focus on dismantling the drug trafficking networks operating in the area.
This case is not an isolated incident but a further consequence of the illegal schemes that have a strong grip on the city. Government inaction, combined with questionable police actions, contributes to situations like this repeating time and again in Florencio Varela.
The circumstances surrounding the deaths of Paloma and Josué highlight the seriousness of the situation facing young people in the area. A change in approach in security policies and greater dedication to the prevention and combat of drug trafficking is necessary to avoid more tragedies like this in the future. Justice for Paloma and Josué!
