This Monday afternoon, dozens of teachers, family members, friends, and schoolmates of Cristian Eduardo Pereyra gathered at the doors of the Virrey del Pino Police Station, in La Matanza. The family would be welcomed. They did not get any answers to questions about what happened to the young teacher. The staff in charge gave them Cristian’s belongings, which he had in the car: his students’ work and three pizzarra fibers that are used in public schools. “These are our weapons, this is what they are afraid of” pointed out one of the sisters with the sheet of paper probably written by students.
In this way, it is confirmed that nothing was stolen, which casts doubt on the police’s claims. Given the lack of answers, the family calls to concentrate this Tuesday, March 17 at the Prosecutor’s Office located in San Justo. There they wait to be attended to by the Prosecutor. “Let there be a movement, let what happened be noticed, let it not remain in nothing” Cristian’s sisters said after informing them that Suteba La Matanza confirmed the call for a teachers’ strike tomorrow.
“When the news arrived, many colleagues began to tell what they had worked on over the weekend, outside of being teachers”says José, delegate of Técnica 8, one of the schools where Cristian worked. Multiple employment, burnout, and concern about barely reaching the family basket is what worries thousands of teachers.. The murder of the technical school teacher exposes not only the meager salaries of teachers, but also the attempt to naturalize these living conditions by the government of Axel Kiccillof, Javier Milei and the large unions. Cristian was doing Didi to make ends meet when the police officer killed him.
At the same time, his brutal murder once again exposes the decomposition of the Buenos Aires Police. There are many cases of police officers who use the impunity of being armed and participate in organized crime. An independent investigation by the police with human rights organizations, family members and teachers, co-workers is urgently needed to reach the truth that the family is demanding.
