Doubts and opposition complaints persist four months after the fire at Apross.

The fire that occurred on April 18 at the headquarters of Apross destroyed key offices in the auditing and pharmaceuticals area, where sensitive information was handled. Despite expert reports from firefighters and technicians, the judiciary couldn't determine the origin of the fire or gather solid evidence of a short circuit. The Prosecutor's Office decided to classify the incident as "undetermined cause," which increased political and social uncertainty.

Legislator Walter Nostrala, from the Civic Front, submitted a request for information demanding details about the investigation and the safeguarding of evidence. "It is unacceptable that, four months after a fire that affected the administrative heart of the provincial health insurance, we still don't have a clear answer; citizens deserve to know what happened," he demanded. His criticisms add to a complaint about the alleged disappearance of computers in the hours following the incident.

For opposition leaders, the fire caused greater damage because it broke out amid other fraud investigations involving more than twenty defendants. That sector warns that relevant documents related to ongoing audits and contracts were lost, which fuels suspicions of a cover-up. "If what was lost was valuable documentation for advancing the investigations, the judiciary must be the first interested in dispelling any suspicion," Nostrala reiterated.

Demand for greater transparency in the case

After the fire, the provincial government declared a state of emergency in Apross for thirty days, suspended administrative deadlines, and assured that it had digital copies. The opposition questioned the fact that not all servers and systems were examined, pointing out that key information could also be found there. Concern increased when the Prosecutor's Office itself acknowledged the disappearance of evidence that could have been useful for the investigations.

Legislators from the Radical Party, the Civic Front, and PRO insisted on a request for information to obtain details about the real status of the case. They demanded details about the level of structural and documentary damage, the operation of fire safety systems, and the existence of prior warnings about electrical risks. They also requested to know whether backup copies were made and what measures were taken to protect sensitive files.

The opposition's proposal also seeks to clarify the financial situation of the health insurance and analyze how the crisis affects 600,000 members. Legislators are demanding internal audits and a report on how the fire affected Apross's administrative management. So far, the request has been rejected by the official majority in the Unicameral, which has intensified political discontent.
