Exclusive: Chat reveals how Pickett organized violent protests ahead of Congress

The causes of investigating violence before Congress in the International Monetary Fund (IMF) pact debate are examples of how some social movements are organized to cause harm and rob beneficiaries of social plans to participate in marches. Until now, this file has been accused of major charges in the history of the Teresa Rodriguez movement (MTR), in which case a stone attack occurred in front of lawmakers affecting the offices of Vice President Christina Kirchner and other senators.

For example , the message that the leaders of this movement overlap with the militants show that the names of the beneficiaries who must necessarily attend the protest are drawn and are ready to confirm that they are not absent. In addition, every person who enrolls in a plan such as Empower Work a day before the start of the historical MTR top ranking is asked to make a “contribution” on a monthly basis.

Two days before the incident of violence, they already described mobilization as “heavy” and sharp, and foresaw a confrontation with the security forces. Participants were reminded to “do not forget to bring bicarbonate” to neutralize the effects of tear gas, so that the city police were actually exposed to destruction, incineration and excesses.

WhatsApp

When the prosecutor's office of the city of Buenos Aires opened the mobile phone of Oscar Santillan (54), the first inmate of the case, a text message and a voice mail with the organization's plans were found.

The militants were arrested during the incident after setting fire to the container and throwing stones. Captured in a photo of running with a young man wearing a light blue shirt, beige pants and a Bordeaux hat and throwing a strong element, Santillán escaped the scene by hitting a Molotov bomb on a group of men wearing uniforms. The leader was arrested after hitting several pellets of bullets on his leg.

The message was sent to a WhatsApp group scheduled for “Historical MTR MG” with 210 participants including “Pepe”, “Apple”, “My Other Me”, “Marimar”, “Alexa”, “Yeshika”, “Angels Morena”, “Emma”, “Colocolo”, and “Dolly”.

tithing

Upon arrest, Santillan sends a voice message to “Yeshika”. The woman does not hesitate to order the MTR group not to send a message.

By analyzing the communication, it became clear that both she and the other members of the organization were convened by “Doly” on March 10. It is she who gives instructions to the rest of the group and tells the reason for concentration, when and where it will happen. In addition, he insists on the news that “donations” will be collected on the eve of March 9 and will be signed as “national and local distributors”, and points out that it is important for everyone to march because they must be announced by colleagues from the administrative register.

Santillán's telephone information indicates that “Doly” has internal knowledge of the organization's administration and that the group receives donations from its members as specified in the text.

Since Infobae was able to establish himself, the “union contribution” imposed by the head of state and the head of government on “members”, that is, those who receive a social plan from the state, is between 2 and 10% of the value of the plan.

Santillan and his wife Mirian Segovia recognize the country's social plan. According to the records of the event, History MTR members receive 33,000 per month from the National Capacity Building Project, a program developed by it. Medium.

As stated in the chat, the two “distributions” or “tributes” that are received 24 hours before mobilization are “food boxes” sent by the administration of Alberto Fernández and Axel Kisilov for those listed. A member of another social group explained Infobae.

Food from the most vulnerable sectors, distributed through social movements, usually reaches restaurants, picnic areas or cooperatives operated by mass movements. The distribution of food bags as a reward for social leaders to participate in the march is moral, unethical, and bordering on crime.

It is also illegal to “charge a fee” for “maintaining the organization.”

It is not so important to warn the investigator that “Doly” is likely to be dangerous for those who are called to march against an agreement with the IMF of the MTR group. He does so with the adjective “sharp” and heavy.

In the case of the rebellious justice system of Buenos Aires, comments and hints that “Doly”, called “Martino”, is interested in the dialogue between the prisoner and his contacts in the dialogue of the Teresa Rodriguez movement.

For example, according to the words of “Martino”, the question of the march is that it will be dangerous. This name is repeated in various messages from other interlocutors. After Santillan's arrest, “Yesica” says that “Martino” and “Marcelo” are responsible for contacting lawyers. For investigators, “Martino” will be Roberto “El Negro” Martino, the historical leader of the Teresa Rodriguez movement, whose judiciary is considering imprisonment in the city of Buenos Aires.

This is the same as the leader who was imprisoned in Marcos Paz prison and was accused of organizing escrasies by 61 people during the celebration. 2009, the first anniversary of the State of Israel, was convened by the Government of the City of Buenos Aires.

Although he did not answer the statement of the Israeli Embassy in Argentina at the time of the incident, he was accused of being “an organizer of escrasies who incite hatred against a group of people due to their religion, nationality or political ideas.” Possession of illegal war weapons, possession of flammable materials and possession of genuine foreign identification cards”. As a result, he was arrested on a large scale on May 4, 2010.

So far, there are no images of violence against the Senate building, but the talks that have been revealed can complicate this.

Yesterday, the federal judge Maria Eugenia Capuchetti, who already had part of the file, asked for a full investigation and suppressed Judge Norberto Circo in Buenos Aires so that he could no longer act on the case. In this case, Capuchetti would have to decide the fate of Martino, unless Circo does so before the competition statement is resolved.

A member of the historic MTR, the Venezuelan lawyer Zaru Alexander Rodriguez Carrero (Santillán) and the second inmate is Eduardo “Negro” Soares, president of the Bar Association. It is the same organization that sponsors Mapuche, who was accused of acting violently in Patagonia. One of the founders of the Lawyers Guild is former Montonero leader Roberto Perdia.

Silver and bicarbonate for gas

In a telephone chat held in Santillan, it is not explicitly clear that he is stoning the Senate office of Vice President Christina Kirchner. However, it is clear that the members of this organization wanted to prepare for a “spicy” march and face the police.

The file also shows the reality that the government has not yet been able or unwilling to act soundly and resolutely. The majority of violent or non-violent protesters are beneficiaries of the social plan and are leaders who manage registrations with the authorities for the relevant registrations.At a minimum, they promote, use, and abuse this status of power.

The “Final Report” of the “Technical Science Department” of the Judicial Police shows the dialogue between Santillán and MTR members, reveals this action and shows that Santillán will be part of that framework. They are not the ones who make the most important decisions.

At 4:20 p.m., when Christina Kirchner's office was attacked by a stone and paint bomb, Oscar Santillan told Yeshika that she was arrested . “Two places two blocks from Congress Square... Uh, they shot me from the bridge, I couldn't run any more, I fell and packed myself.”

In the middle of the voice message sent, we could hear a police officer instructing the inmates to turn off the phone, but Santillán continued to use it.

Later, in a text message, says Yesica. “Miriam tells me to pay for it.” X is suspicious.

Is it money for mobilization that Santilan had to cover part of the cost of the march? In court, they understand that the defendant's lawyer Maria del Rosario Fernández, who is a member of the Bar Association, refused to speak with Infobae.

According to the lawyer, at the request of his wife, Mirian Segovia, Santilan withdrew less than 14,000 pesos from an ATM and took him home. This is Mirian mentioned in the Yeshikaga Embassy.

According to the kidnapping law signed by municipal police inspector Hernan Benata, the money in Santiago's pocket was “between $135,000 and $140,000.” The difference between zero is very significant.

It will be difficult for Santillan to prove the origin of this money. According to him, he charges 33,000 pesos per month for Plan Empower Work and about 400 pesos per day as a street artist who plays and sings guitar in downtown Buenos Aires.

Not satisfied with the responses of MTR colleagues, Yesica claims in a text message: ub “Dale, but did they not get anything from you? “, means money and answers “no.”

Almost an hour later, at 5:4 p.m., Yesica tells Santillan to calm down about the arrest and tells Martino and “Marcelo” that the MTE leader is taking care of the situation. “They said they were going to call a lawyer and all that, and they agreed to warn you about what they told you and how to solve it today and until the last morning, but have confidence that they will handle what they told us.” (sic). After a few seconds, Yesica mentions him in another message. “Let's see if we now know that this poop exercise is not worth it” (sic).

The 24 hours promised by the police station have already been exceeded. At the end of this note, Oscar Santillan was detained for 6 days, and bparticipation in illegal organizations could aggravate the charges. Previously, he accused him of “the damage that eventually worsened, objects often at risk to property, damage caused by fires, explosions and floods, and attacks on authority and attacks on authority were exacerbated by rallies of three or more people.”

Two days before the violent march, on March 8, “Dolly” of a WhatsApp group called “Historical MTR MG” sent 210 members to Congress for a mobilization agreement against an agreement with the IMF on September 17.

The next day, at 10:52am, the same woman who participated in the leadership of the story MTR with Roberto Martino for Justice sends a message in capital letters, which will take place on Wednesday 9, that is, between 1 pm and 5 pm on the same day. “Donations will be collected”, “Distributed countries and provinces will be signed”, “On Thursday, October 3, 2022, a companion of the administration submitted a register.” And remind you not to miss a bag of groceries.

A few hours later, at 7:26 p.m., the same “Doly” sent a voice note to the group, saying, “The movement... will be a little busy because you have to be careful to take bicarbonate and march on something. I didn't want to talk more about this group, because they have been around for many years and they already know what it is like. That's why I ask you to be together on this topic in the same way as Report” (sic).

On the same day, Yesica asks the group if they should go to the march because they have already participated in the previous one.

Oscar Santillán is fascinated by past demonstrations and specifically asks to send people who have not mentioned anyone.

Later, in a voice note, Santillán warned group members that the next day's march would be “heavy” and dangerous, and suggested that bwomen with children should know whether they should leave or not.

Participants scheduled for “Mari Mar” responded to the message with the following words: “If we wanted to ask Oscar, but at least we saw another round and the ability to say that we have to go the same path to give gifts, they will surely return to us. I don't know if I don't want to comment because it's already between eyebrows and eyebrows.” (sic).

In their definition, they interpret “between eyebrows and eyebrows” as the risk of losing the benefits of the social plan when they are absent.

The members of the MTR reserved by Oscar Santillán as “Mari Mar” consult on “why bicarbonate should be brought to the march,” and the current inmates are “because it can still occur and bicarbonate offsets the effects of tear gas.”

Not everyone uses the same formula, but it is customary to prepare a 5% solution of baking soda in plastic bottles, which is bought in pharmacies with water. This solution is usually used to wash or spray irritated areas, such as the eyes. Other groups of pickets use simple methods, such as milk or lemon.

In the case of the Prosecutor's Office of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, it is clear that an attack on the Congress and the former Senate Chairman was organized, or at least the MTR organization was prepared for the police's response to acts of violence.

During the course of the case, the resolution is bexpected to be passed at the request of the Federal Judge María Eugenia Capuchetti, who already has part of the file, to take over the entire investigation and ask Judge Norberto Circo to be suppressed for longer in Buenos Aires.

At the time, a lawyer from Santillán told Infobae that they would accompany the judge's request because they understood that federal crimes were being investigated because the Congress building and the Bureau of Violence, including Cristina Kirchner, were interference in federal justice.
