Deputy Gabriel Bornoroni is leading an urgent demand to transform the reality of insecurity that is affecting the province of Córdoba and the country on a daily basis. This initiative seeks to ensure that all national legislators from Córdoba support with their vote the reduction of the age of criminal responsibility to 13 years. It is an indispensable measure to provide a serious institutional response to the excessive increase in crimes committed by minors.
The libertarian leader's request arises after the brutal attack suffered by Luna Rocío López, a 22-year-old young woman who was recently shot in the Córdoba neighborhood of Yapeyú. The victim remains hospitalized in serious condition with an irreversible spinal cord injury caused by the bullet impact during a violent robbery. This abhorrent incident highlights the vulnerability of citizens in the face of juvenile offenders who act with total impunity in the streets.
In a video published this Saturday on his social media, Bornoroni harshly analyzed the current statistics of local juvenile crime. The legislator showed with concern reports that indicate the arrest of at least 20 minors in a period of just 3 days of criminal activity. For the La Libertad Avanza leader, these figures are the result of years of inaction and political complicity with criminal sectors.
An urgent reform against impunity
The arrest of three young offenders linked to the Yapeyú case revealed that the strikers already had more than 15 prior criminal records. This situation demonstrates that the current system is an absolute failure that allows criminals to go in and out of police stations without punishment. Meanwhile, Kirchnerism defends the offenders, and honest neighbors live locked behind doors for fear of becoming the next fatal victims.
Left-wing sectors and Kirchnerism systematically oppose any attempt to modernize the criminal code to protect decent people. These political groups act as true friends of criminals by prioritizing the rights of perpetrators over those of working citizens. It is shameful that Natalia de la Sota and Gabriela Estévez prefer to maintain an obsolete framework that only generates more violence and death in Córdoba.
Bornoroni also criticized the management of the Córdoba ruling party, which has been in power for 27 years without providing real solutions to the problem of insecurity. In this regard, Governor Martín Llaryora was questioned for his recent speech in Laboulaye. There were no concrete announcements about tax cuts or a strategic plan to combat the youth gangs that terrorize various outlying neighborhoods.
