In a few days it will be one month since the crime of Fernando Gómez, the border worker and bagayero who became the first death of the Milei-Bullrich administration in the midst of a persecution of workers and a protest. It was on December 18 at the 28 de Julio Gendarmerie Post, near Orán and Aguas Blancas.
In the last few hours, two important complaints were made known. The first, that of Ariel Gareca’s brother, one of the seriously injured. Daniel said that “the gendarmes grabbed him and shot him on the ground. They wanted to finish him off.” In dialogue with Salta 12 and other media he said: “We want justice to be done, to be investigated. My brother is not going to be able to work and he was the only breadwinner for his family, his daughter.” Ariel is 25 years old and has a bullet lodged in her head. He is hospitalized and is waiting to be fitted with a titanium plate.
The other important complaint is about the news in the case of Fernando Gómez, who died after being shot twice near the river, where the gendarmes wanted to discard the body.
Gareca’s lawyer, David Leiva, released a press report with the title: “The cause of the bagayeros-chancheros is still stalled” published by journalist Elena Corvalán. What’s new?
A crime against the working class
All these events, the subsequent town and the caravan that saw off Fernando were recounted in a shocking chronicle by Alejandro Vilca, our national deputy from the PTS-Left Front who was in Oran in those tumultuous days and today continues to support the cause.
Family, friends and leftist organizations mobilized this morning in Orán (Salta) towards the prosecutor’s office to ask for news on the case of Fernando Gómez, the worker murdered by Patricia Bullrich’s Gendarmerie within the framework of the so-called “Plan Güemes”.

As he says here, “many are joining along the way: a parade of the Chancheros football club in front, supported by friends from the neighborhood, informal workers who are chanting slogans: “Out with the Güemes plan, out with the gendarmerie,” “ “Saenz is a murderer, Patricia Bullrich is a murderer, Milei is going to pay.” They swear that the crime will not go unpunished. They express the progress from the first spontaneous reaction in the streets to the murder of Gómez and the town that it unleashed, to the conscious idea about those responsible materially and politically.”
Against the impunity in which the national and provincial governments and the judiciary want to leave the case, we must continue to spread the demand for justice from the bagayeros, chancheros, their families and the lawyers who fight against these powers. Justice for Fernando Gómez, Ariel Gareca and Fabián Gualpa.
