The Minister of Security Patricia Bullrich She was charged with a criminal offence in order to investigate her responsibility in the operation against the demonstrators who were protesting outside Congress and in particular for the episode with the 10-year-old girl who was sprayed with tear gas in her eyes.
The complaint was made tonight by the lawyer Gregorio Dalbon before the federal court and will be drawn this Friday.
A video shows the police officer who sprayed the girl with pepper spray directly in the face and the image refutes the government’s claim that a protester was the minor’s aggressor.
According to the lawyer, this is a case of “institutional violence” and a violation of human rights and the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The image is a symbol of the government’s repressive policy, and has now reached the courts.
The complaint is for abuse of authority and failure to fulfill the duties of a public official.
The lawyer will also aim to identify the police officers who threw the gas at the minor.
ARTICLE 248. – Any public official who issues resolutions or orders contrary to the national or provincial constitutions or laws, or who executes existing orders or resolutions of this kind, or who does not execute the laws whose compliance is his responsibility, shall be punished with imprisonment from one month to two years and special disqualification for double the time.
The lawyer also cited Article 45 of the Criminal Code.
ARTICLE 45.- Those who take part in the execution of the act or provide the perpetrator or perpetrators with assistance or cooperation without which it could not have been committed will be subject to the penalty established for the crime. Those who have directly determined another to commit it will incur the same penalty.
Patricia Bullrich denied it and accused the mother
The Minister of National Security, Patricia Bullrich, denied on Thursday that an officer of the Federal Police has thrown Tear gas against a girl during the operation deployed this Wednesday in front of the Congress with which he repressed protesters who rejected the veto of Javier Milei to the pension reform. A video of the moment refutes the version of the national official.
Although the minister tried to justify the police action, the violent situation unleashed a crisis in the portfolio she leads and in the Federal Police. At this time, the continuity of the Secretary of Security, Alejandra Monteoliva, and the head of the force, general commissioner Luis Rollé, were left on the tightrope.
“We were faced with a situation that we knew was going to explode into violence the moment it did,” Bullrich explained in a telephone conversation with journalist Eduardo Feinmann, who told him that the officers threw gas at a minor, as seen in the images that went viral.
The minister wrote on social network X after the strong repression, where she criticized the girl’s mother: “The responsibility of taking a 10-year-old girl to a march surrounded by violent people is the responsibility of this irresponsible mother.”
