After The scandal unleashed by the group visit to more than a dozen genocidaires in the federal prison of Ezeizathe national deputy from Mendoza Lourdes Arrietaof Freedom Advancesfiled a criminal complaint against his fellow party members Beltran Benedict y Guillermo Montenegroto the general director of the Private Secretariat of the Presidency of the Chamber of Deputies Sharif Menemto the holder of the Federal Penitentiary Service (SPF) Fernando Martinez and the catholic priest Javier Olivera Ravasi.
Arrieta He was part of the group of six deputies who traveled on July 11 in an official vehicle of the lower house to the prison of Ezeiza. With full authorization of the Penitentiary Service (dependent on the Ministry of Security of Patricia Bullrich), met amicably for hours with more than a dozen prisoners who are Convicted of the most aberrant crimes against humanityShe is the one who appears, smiling, in the center of the group photo they took before leaving.
For weeks the 31-year-old MP remained silent about this visit, the preparation of which she was also part of through a group of Whatsapp which he shared with defense attorneys and relatives of genocide perpetrators, with other “libertarian” legislators and with the priest Olivera Ravasi (son of a repressor under house arrest who in February organized A celebration with Palito Ortega). She herself is the daughter of a military man, Thomas Arrietaaccused by former combatants of having caused malnutrition among soldiers in the midst of the war Falklands from 1982.
The scandal broke out, Take care He believed that, at least to save his precocious political career, he had to find a way to distance himself. First he said that, since he was born in 1993 and did not live “in that era”, I had “no idea who they were” the people she visited. The explanation only made her look ridiculous. That’s why this Thursday she decided to take a bolder step and filed a complaint in Federal Court 2 of Lomas de Zamora in which he accuses some officials (and the priest) of “aggravated coercion”, “abuse of authority”, “violation of the duties of public officials”, “conspiracy” y “misappropriation of public funds”.
According to her, she was manipulated. “What I thought would be a group of Whatsapp to discuss situations or possible projects, or to discuss ideas to improve the conditions of detention of older people, today involves me in a controversy in which I have not wanted to be,” he stated in the document that he presented with his lawyer. Yamil Castro Bianchi.
Now Arrieta He says that he “does not agree” with visiting the genocidaires because that contradicts their “Christian values”. And although he admits that he joined the group because of the trust “in terms of faith and culture” that the priest inspires in him Ravasi (chat coordinator) today feels obliged to “expose” the organizers of the meeting and ask to investigate whether this action involved “the commission of any illicit act”. Everything would be guided by his evangelical convictions.
The organizer of the July 11 trip was the deputy of LLA Beltran Benedict. About him Arrieta discharges the greatest responsibility. Also about Guillermo Montenegrowho until a few months ago was a close collaborator (presumably also a partner) of the vice president Victoria VillarruelThe deputy says that both of them led her deceived to the maximum security pavilion where the genocides live. Curiously, she does not denounce her peers Alida Ferreyra, Maria Fernanda Araujo (a facade of someone who years ago It has already been discussed in this newspaper) y Rocio Bonacci (daughter of an admirer of Hitler), who were part of the entourage.
Arrieta also denounces Sharif MenemDirector General of the Private Secretariat of the Presidency of the Chamber of Deputies. He accuses him of having managed the official vehicles so that the deputies and their advisors could travel to Ezeiza. Sharif He is the right hand of Martin Menem (his cousin) and son of Eduardo “Lule” Menembishop of Karina Milei and current Undersecretary of Institutional Management of the Executive Branch.
A Fernando Martineznational director of the SPF, Arrieta He is denouncing him for being the one who authorized the meeting on July 11 in a comfortable, spacious space far from the rest of the prison population. In order not to cause a bigger fuss, Arrieta preferred not to denounce Bullrichbut both she and her partner Bonacci They confirmed that The minister was aware of the visit and gave the OK without any problems..
Bullrich’s complicity is evident. On the one hand, a few days ago he said that those detained for crimes against humanity over seventy years old They should be placed under house arrest like those convicted “for any crime”. He even launched the fallacy that “there are cases that are 90 years old with terrible illnesses in prison.” On the other hand, he cannot ignore exclusive privileges that prison staff gave to deputies, which is usually denied to defense attorneys and other visitors without power.
Hypocritical intern and unexpected help
In May, the young woman Arrieta He attended a meeting of the Criminal Legislation and Internal Security Committees Deputies carrying a duckling on his head kawaii of those that were then proliferating among teenagers. In July, he took smiling photos with terrible criminals. And in August he tried to purge himself by taking a photo in a corridor of Congress with a copy of the Anymore. Until now, his antics had aroused no small amount of laughter among his partners. Freedom Advances.
But the criminal complaint that has just been filed in Hills of Zamora changed the mood in his party. According to Infobaein the liberal block They are not clear “if it is better to throw her out or wait for her to leave on her own”. But they don’t say it because of their “personal decision” to go to jail. Ezeiza to visit high-ranking criminals, but for their “lack of party discipline”.
Until yesterday, in LLA a Arrieta They supported almost everything. In Mendoza it is known that his father Tomás Not only was he denounced by denying food to the soldiers of Malvinas but also for “put pressure on” PAMI Mendoza authorities to fire some employees. Even Damian Cordobaa local libertarian leader, accused the old soldier of attacking him in a bar in the provincial capital. But no one said anything to the young deputy.
They didn’t even question her about it. his efforts to obtain a million-dollar donation for the Open Skies Christian Foundationcongregation to which he belongs and whose pastor, Alexander Castellazzoconfirmed that thanks to her she received tons of clothing, shoes, backpacks, soccer balls and electronic items. Arrieta He asked for the “donation” Karina Mileiwho authorized it in early July. No one from LLA was shocked.
But perhaps to know with which oxen to plow, Arrieta He already asked the federal judge Juan Pablo Augé“protection” for his family, including his father and his brother (who is also his advisor in the House of Representatives).
In his complaint, Arrieta has already provided ample information which demonstrates both the preparations for visits to genocidaires in their places of detention and the different political and legislative initiatives that are being evaluated from LLA and his friends for benefit those who make people disappear, baby appropriators, torturers, rapists, thieves and murderers the size of Alfredo Astiz, Raúl Guglielminetti, Antonio Pernias o Adolfo Donda. There he included photos and screenshots of collective chats with a high apologetic content of the genocide.
The decision of Arrieta of “going to the bottom” in the cause caused a quagmire in the ruling party. So much so that more than one believes that the young evangelical could keep a fan on that not only spreads information about that specific event but about other issues. That is why they sought to commit the rest of the genocidaires’ visitors not to stray from the “party discipline”.
That the case does not escalate in the Congress more than it already did is a central concern of Martin Menem y Victoria VillarruelAt a time when the economic and social crisis seems to be unstoppable, with poverty now estimated at more than half the population and a government determined to continue tightening the purse strings of the people, the scandal of the visit to the genocide perpetrators has provoked an unexpected crisis within the government that is very difficult to resolve.
In this context, the position taken this week by the majority opposition space that operates under the seal of Union for the Homeland. How It is explained in detail in another articlein recent days that block had a peculiar change of mind Regarding what to do with those who traveled to Ezeiza.
As soon as the scandal broke, the Peronist deputies were debating whether to propose the expulsion of the six libertarians from the Chamber or the creation of an investigative commission to shed light on the pro-genocidal plot, the responsibilities and institutional complicity. This last position was shared by the United Left Front And, in fact, on Monday both blocks held a hearing with human rights organizations to establish their position on the matter.
Finally on Wednesday Union for the Homeland changed his mind. The debate on what to do with the deputies seemed to be put aside and Peronism accepted the proposal of the ruling party and its allies to pass the matter on to the Committee on Powers, Petitions and Regulations, which is chaired by none other than the right-wing Silvia Lospennato of the PRO. Neither the block leader German Martinez nor any other deputy of UxP They did not explain the reason for this change of position. Thus, only the Left Front maintains the proposal of that a real investigative commission be formed that I may discover the whole truth.
These are extremely curious times. So much so that, faced with a fact of such serious characteristics as the apology of genocide by the ruling political forcethe hypocritical deputy Lourdes Arrieta seems to be more eager to shed light on what happened than those who for years have been talking about human rights. The attitude of this Wednesday Union for the Homeland leaves much to be desired and a lot of material to cut.
