00:00The car was leaving with its driver towards work at around 3 in the morning.
00:08And at that moment, motorcyclists surprise him.
00:12The driver goes backwards and, of course, wants to evade the criminals.
00:18And while he does this, he collides with other cars that are parked.
00:21Alarms start ringing and the criminals shoot him.
00:25These maneuvers that the driver made to escape the criminals
00:31were what really saved him from the criminals.
00:35And he was lucky that no shot hit him and that he was unharmed.
00:41We are with neighbors of the victim who already went to work.
00:45Fortunately, he was able to save his car and his life.
00:48So we want to ask you what you know, what you saw.
00:53How are you? Look, what I just saw was in the security cameras of the neighbors.
00:58The car reached the door of the house.
01:02It stayed there for about three minutes, waiting for the passenger to leave.
01:06A surreal approaches.
01:08Two criminals approach him.
01:12The guy from the application, or from the remit, rather,
01:16goes backwards and hits two cars that were parked.
01:21And these criminals shot him twice.
01:23Coincidentally, they didn't hit him.
01:25And well, the surreal left.
01:27They had stolen it in Aquino and came to commit the other crime here.
01:30We had the information that the criminals were driving a motorcycle.
01:34No, you say they are on a black surreal.
01:36Yes, a black surreal.
01:37We see that they are standing.
01:38In the part of the video, the motorcycle is not seen.
01:40It is seen that they are standing, shooting him.
01:42It is seen that he arrives at the car.
01:44He arrives at the car, gets in front of the vehicle they want to steal.
01:48They get out.
01:49At least in the video, what we see are two people.
01:52Two men with weapons.
01:54Weapons, yes.
01:55Weapons suitable for shooting.
01:56In fact, they shot a lot.
01:58And well, as you said, the remit, thank God, made a maneuver
02:03through which he was able to escape.
02:06But the reason for this is not only the fact itself,
02:10but this has been happening a lot.
02:13It is not only this reason, this fact, that the boy,
02:17from what they told me, I found out here,
02:19they came to steal here, 10 blocks away.
02:22Then we found out.
02:23They came, that car, they came to steal it here on Quino Street, right?
02:25Yes, exactly.
02:26But last week, here in the middle of the block,
02:28they also stole, seized a weapon suitable for shooting.
02:31Is it early in the morning or is there no schedule?
02:33Already at any time, at any time.
02:34That's why we get together a little with the neighbors,
02:36we want to make a little noise.
02:38We really want those who have to take responsibility to take responsibility
02:41because we have family, we have children.
02:44Historically, here we, both he and I,
02:49we are people who have been in the neighborhood for at least 40 years.
02:53And historically it was a good neighborhood,
02:56a neighborhood where you could live,
02:58a neighborhood in which I particularly grew up on the street.
03:01And today, you get to the door of your house
03:04and you have to get out of the car as if they were following you.
03:08And no, it is simply the means that we are using today to take care of ourselves.
03:15And we were just talking to the neighbors,
03:17that maybe, we said, no, well, but it took maybe two minutes.
03:22Nobody is to blame for taking a little longer.
03:24What can happen more is that these guys come and want to kill you.
03:30They want to kill you, that's something that no, no.
03:32Of course, many times one chooses to preserve himself and says,
03:35if I don't leave my car, I call a remit or I take a car application,
03:38but that doesn't even save you.
03:40Let's see, is there a police presence here in the neighborhood?
03:42Unfortunately, here we are unprotected.
03:44The southern area on this side, we are unprotected.
03:46We have nothing.
03:47If we want to file a complaint, we have to go to the other side of the station.
03:51There are problems of jurisdiction.
03:53Of course, because now we are at the limit.
03:55Here, crossing the avenue, it is already Castelarc.
03:58Divide.
03:59Seven blocks.
04:00Seven blocks.
04:01We go straight to the council.
04:03Seven blocks from the police station, let's say.
04:05Seven blocks from the deliberate council.
04:07But no one comes here.
04:08What comes here are the tickets for the taxes.
04:12Do the criminals have a quick escape route here?
04:14In the corner, the jurisdiction changes with Castelarc.
04:17So this is an important artery that comes from the Plaza de Ituzaingó
04:20and they all pass through here.
04:21And unfortunately, it is not an isolated event,
04:23but this happens day after day.
04:25And several weeks ago, which is quite spicy,
04:27you don't have an answer from the police station
04:29because it takes a long time for your cell phone to arrive.
04:31I talked to the Secretary of Security.
04:33He told me that they do what they can,
04:34but that they don't have cell phones.
04:36In the security cameras, nothing happens
04:38because these criminals are still fugitives.
04:40There are security cameras of the neighbors,
04:42because there are none in the municipality.
04:45They did take care of putting cameras for the photocopies,
04:48they filled them with cameras for photocopies,
04:50but if they had invested a little in what people are
04:54and returned the tax to the people a little,
04:56it would have been something else.
04:58But unfortunately, you don't see a patrol car.
05:00According to what the Secretary of Security told me,
05:03there are two patrol cars only for this area,
05:06when there should be three or four.
05:08And unfortunately, the province of Buenos Aires
05:11is not giving an answer to this.
05:13Neither the municipality nor the province.
05:15Neither the municipality, nor the province, nor anyone.
05:17Unfortunately, it is not an isolated event.
05:19It is happening in the whole urban area
05:21and this is getting worse and worse.
05:23And how do you live?
05:25How do you manage to continue living?
05:27Here, six days ago, in Granada Street,
05:30I was talking to the media,
05:32with your colleague Elvira,
05:36well, I was talking to her,
05:38and well, I told her the whole problem,
05:40because it was spicy from Granada Street,
05:42which comes from Blas Pareda,
05:44crossing on the other side.
05:46From there, well, there was the family threat,
05:50and from there they continued the persecution,
05:52stealing cars.
05:53And here they escape.
05:54Here they come from Merlo Gomes,
05:56but we are unprotected.
05:58Here, three days ago, they stole the chicken house,
06:01here, they broke the padlocks,
06:03and at 4.30 in the afternoon.
06:05Yes, after a while, they also shot here,
06:07in the corner in front,
06:09and on Sunday they grabbed one in the other corner,
06:11with a 9mm, with bullets there,
06:13about to commit a crime,
06:15and they came to steal a motorcycle too.
06:17So it is no longer an isolated case,
06:19this is happening every day,
06:20and I know that you are leaving,
06:22and this is nobody's land back.
06:24So what we want, the neighbors,
06:25precisely, is that if the municipality does nothing,
06:28and the province of Buenos Aires does nothing,
06:30at least that it takes repercussion,
06:31and that someone comes to be able to do something in the province,
06:34because, unfortunately, we are getting worse and worse.
06:36And this is no longer enough.
06:38The province of Buenos Aires is unprotected.
06:40Unfortunately, you who are everywhere,
06:43Moreno, Aras, Florencio Avarela,
06:45with everything that is happening,
06:47but the province of Buenos Aires,
06:49unfortunately, is unprotected,
06:51and, well, I don't know,
06:53not to give the means,
06:55so that the police have more protection,
06:58or more means to be able to work.
07:00They can't work.
07:04Let's see, what happened in Moreno,
07:05and what has been happening in many places,
07:07we don't want to wait for a neighbor to be killed,
07:09for a person to be killed,
07:11or for a dead criminal to end up with a police officer,
07:13who was also robbed by the police.
07:15So this has to end somehow,
07:17and I think that the first head that has to run
07:20is that of Kicillof.
07:22From there on down, they all fly,
07:24but no one has to stay,
07:26because, unfortunately, they are not doing anything.
07:28Following the line of the neighbors,
07:30from what one hears,
07:32and above all what we are experiencing,
07:34I have been living here for more than 60 years,
07:37one is observing that the police
07:40of the province of Buenos Aires
07:42has been overwhelmed.
07:44Not that it is being overwhelmed,
07:46it has been overwhelmed.
07:48In other times,
07:50this sidewalk was used by police officers.
07:53I think it is the right time
07:55for the government
07:57to ask for the intervention
07:59of the federal forces
08:01as it is happening in Córdoba.
08:03Yesterday we saw how
08:05the Minister of Security of Córdoba
08:07was able to recover
08:09a cell phone,
08:11a motorcycle that was stolen,
08:13and showed
08:15how effective those operations
08:17of joint security forces were.
08:19Are there no operations
08:21and controls
08:23in the intersections,
08:25in the limits of Provincia Capital,
08:27or from party to party?
08:29No, no, not here.
08:31At least not here.
08:33There is nothing here.
08:35Just what we asked for.
08:37But we asked for what he said.
08:39Today we went out in the news,
08:41thank God,
08:43to tell that they almost stole
08:45the cell phone.
08:47And nothing happens.
08:49This will stay here.
08:51Nobody died, and nothing happens.
08:53But if someone dies,
08:55who will be responsible?
08:57We don't want to wait.
08:59That's why we want to
09:01have a meeting
09:03with the Secretary of Security
09:05to ask him
09:07to take action
09:09because
09:11I think we live in fear.
09:13Yes, I'm listening.
09:15I wanted to ask you
09:17if they have
09:19some kind of neighborhood
09:21assembly,
09:23community WhatsApp,
09:25to notify, alert,
09:27and then, based on that,
09:29maybe talk, as the last gentleman said,
09:31with the authorities
09:33and see what can be done,
09:35how can it be articulated
09:37between the needs of the neighbors,
09:39which is this, which is very clear,
09:41precisely from the institution, right?
09:45Are you organized
09:47with a neighborhood alarm,
09:49with a WhatsApp group?
09:51We have a WhatsApp group,
09:53thanks to the WhatsApp group
09:55we came to find out,
09:57I live around here,
09:59and the truth is that it is useless
10:01to organize the neighbors
10:03if we don't have a municipal
10:05or the province of Buenos Aires response.
10:07I mean, this can no longer happen.
10:09At least to be heard by the authorities
10:11and have an answer.
10:13At least to be heard by the authorities
10:15and, as the neighbor here said,
10:17that the federal forces intervene
10:19and that there really begins to be a change.
10:21Otherwise, here, to charge you
10:23the municipal tax,
10:25the security tax,
10:27they are sent to do it,
10:29but where is that money going?
10:31Even in the last year
10:33we had a 300% increase
10:35in the municipal tax.
10:37I don't know where it is,
10:39because I think it happens
10:41in the whole party
10:43and in the whole province.
10:45Well, this is the situation,
10:47these neighbors tell it,
10:49but if you start asking,
10:51I tell you, it is the reality
10:53that they all live in fear
10:55because these events are repeated
10:57and not only at dawn,
10:59at any time of the day.
11:01The images are really impressive,
11:03you see those shots,
11:05but you don't know what to do
11:07because it goes, it comes, it goes, it comes.
11:09The criminals shot
11:11and fortunately no shot
11:13hit any of the occupants of the car.
11:15No, if there we observe again
11:17the image that you well relate
11:19and that I also understand,
11:21the neighbors said,
11:23this is a private security camera
11:25from a private house,
11:27it is not that it is a security camera
11:29that may be being monitored
11:31perhaps from some center
11:33to see what is happening
11:35and act accordingly.
11:37Exactly.
11:39The camera that takes these images
11:41is a private camera, right?
11:43What I wanted to say is
11:45we as neighbors,
11:47not only here,
11:49but throughout the province of Buenos Aires,
11:51we are like,
11:53I think the right word
11:55is the one that Miguel used
11:57and it is that I think
11:59the police is overwhelmed
12:01by the federal authorities
12:03to have a better answer
12:05because today we are not only afraid
12:07of the neighbor when we enter,
12:09when we leave,
12:11we are afraid of our family,
12:13our friends, our people,
12:15but you are also afraid
12:17to even report
12:19because to me particularly
12:21three months ago,
12:23four months ago in Ciudadela
12:25I had a robbery very similar to this,
12:27very similar,
12:29they put a car in front of me
12:31and six guys get out, armed,
12:33they point at me,
12:35when they point at me,
12:37situation, I can escape,
12:39I run away,
12:41I ran away,
12:43I handed over the car,
12:45by chance I had the key,
12:47it is a light with a presence alarm,
12:49I did not realize and I ran away
12:51and they could not take the truck,
12:53they took the cell phone,
12:55they stole a chain from me
12:57I call the police,
12:59it takes half an hour to come,
13:01being a block from the place
13:03and when the police came,
13:05he came with a state of relaxation,
13:07sorry to say it that way,
13:09but he came with a tremendous
13:11state of relaxation
13:13and then they told me,
13:15hey, did you make the complaint?
13:17What are you going to do with the complaint?
13:19It takes half an hour to come,
13:21when you come,
13:23I was afraid
13:25because they had pointed at me,
13:27they had caught me among six guys,
13:29listen to me,
13:31you accompanied me to a police station,
13:33you accompanied me to Gaona,
13:35I get on the highway and I leave,
13:37I'm afraid,
13:39I have the car punctured,
13:41the patrol came with the punctured patrol,
13:43who did you want to follow,
13:45why did you come?
13:47So you tell me,
13:49being half a block,
13:51or six blocks,
13:53that is,
13:55or the system works very badly,
13:57or there is a liberated area
13:59and also one is afraid,
14:01because if I make the complaint,
14:03I am not afraid,
14:05but I say, I no longer want to waste my time,
14:07particularly I am a lawyer,
14:09I know what it means to make a complaint,
14:11then I have to go to justice
14:13and I also know where it will end,
14:15so it's not just a problem
14:17that there is no police and nothing else,
14:19there is a security issue
14:21that goes far beyond the police
14:23and people on the street and nothing else,
14:25you have to look at everything,
14:27the entire security system,
14:29from the police to the judges
14:31who do justice,
14:33the prosecutors,
14:35and you really have to correct everything,
14:37because in the province of Buenos Aires,
14:39in general,
14:41justice is very bad,
14:43the reality is that it is very bad,
14:45and well, with this little complaint
14:47that we are making here,
14:49we are very happy
14:51to try to start
14:53something new,
14:55something beautiful.
14:57Thank you very much,
14:59I want to show you how the place is,
15:01all the houses are very protected,
15:03especially with bars,
15:05with gates that cover all the access,
15:07most of the cars,
15:09you see them on the sidewalk,
15:11people do not enter their cars
15:13to the garages,
15:15and of course,
15:17there are very fast lanes
15:19so that the criminals
15:21can escape
15:23with speed.
15:25In fact, these criminals
15:27have not yet been found by the police.
15:29There is still no data on these people.
