The deplorable sculpture of the "red fist" that was located at the entrance to the Emerenciano neighborhood was removed last Wednesday afternoon by a decision of the government of the province of Chaco.
It was a representative symbol of the historical enclave of the Sena piquetero family, prior to the detention of its members for the murder of Cecilia Strzyzowski, which occurred in June 2023.
The sculpture, located at 3300 San Martín Avenue, on the outskirts of the city of Resistencia, represented the territorial dominance built by Sena during the years when his political influence positioned him as one of the most influential social leaders in Chaco. The piquetero leader maintained ties with the former Kirchnerist governor Jorge Capitanich.
The decision to remove the statue was made by Governor Leandro Zdero, who was even present during its demolition. The neighborhood, formerly called Emerenciano, will be renamed Pope Francis. Additionally, the installation of a sculpture in honor of the deceased Supreme Pontiff is planned.
