Acl With Meniscus Repair Day 4

The tree, the forest and the Bear



When in June 2004 killed a police hyacinth in the neighborhood of La Boca to Martín "Oso" Cisneros , I was impressed that the hegemonic media (from 10 to Radio Nation, say) will give less importance al crimen que a la posterior toma de la Comisaría 24ª por un grupo encabezado por Luis D'Elía. El discurso que se transmitió a "la gente" ocultaba el asesinato y demonizaba a los "piqueteros" poniendo como cabeza de turco al muy demonizable D'Elía (un objetivo predilecto de esos medios, que además fue procesado por esa toma).

Recordé esto leyendo en Radar las notas en homenaje a Martha Ferro, responsable durante muchos años de la sección Policiales de Crónica. Una testigo y cronista de la violencia en las zonas más sumergidas de nuestra sociedad, pero también una observadora del contexto socioeconómico en que se manifiesta esa violencia. Are a couple of paragraphs in the report he did María Moreno:

- you notice a decline even among offenders, previously maintained a certain "code."

- The degradation began with the economic crisis and the crisis were added other things, not just alcohol, but cocaine base, called crack that makes you mad. Yesterday Finch and Martin Rodriguez walked a kid of fifteen. An old man approached him and said "Here, make a sandwich." Then the kid went to steal a television. Then the old man saw him and killed him with a hammer. Fifteen years had ... La Boca has a lot of settlements in closed factories where before many women had laburo and now all they have is that of prostitution, in empty houses after the dictatorship. Is that in La Boca were going to leave a lot of people because the highway was coming down the street Suárez. But what happened? Not done. Then stayed home alone and started taking them. Until recently there were still people who works. The men in the port. And women in food plants, such as Bagley and Terrabusi Avellaneda some textiles or domestic service. That was ending. Then began the migration of desperate people came from the province and feeling the smell of 1986, where internal economies were submerged. Especially along the coast. Factories were closed and the unemployed were being over here. La Boca was a cheaper neighborhood, in the sense that you had to pay guarantee. But in reality, it was cheap, because a piece out two hundred dollars with shared bathroom. At that time the violence was for football. La Boca was libanizada .(...)

- How long have you not go to the Isla Maciel?

- Very. I dread to think what will Maciel Island. In eighty were women who were going to get fat for cracklings refrigerators. As the only food for the kids. Or looking for rats in the dumps. Were cleaned with vinegar and ate. And going to restaurants in La Boca, I'm talking about the town, to get the food from the trash and washing and cooking. Maciel was because the island territory of the port and the port was dismembered. (...) I respect a lot, still what I say is holy word there. For all "Ask Martha." And apart from the fact that I get along poorly with the cane. My history with the 24 th Precinct began because he was against the barra brava of Paquinco , a son of a bitch. And one day this Paquinco just given for beating a pineapple a friend craft. So what escrache. I took it out in the newspaper and I accompanied my friend to make a complaint to the prosecution because if not in the 24 th .(...)

I wonder, the media aimed at them so hard to picketers and their leaders, would you have paid attention in time to the social degradation of the neighborhoods, to the disintegration of economic, social and even emotional? Have they investigated connections to officials of the Police Station 24 th (since we are) to "12" and organized crime in general? Rather than not. Your message rightly pointed to "common sense" the average Argentine, instilling indifference and "do not mess" with antisocial and anti-national policies such as those that prevailed between 1976 and 2001, and then blame the "ugly, dirty and bad" emerging from the consequences of those policies. Something with a long history in our country.
