Kirchnerists occupied a PAMI office in El Bolsón to protest for Cristina

A group of Kirchnerist employees from the PAMI delegation in El Bolsón decided to close their doors to the public to symbolically participate in a protest in defense of the corrupt former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.

The violent strike left dozens of retirees and people who came to the office seeking medical assistance or to carry out essential procedures without service.

The incident took place on Wednesday, June 18, amid a day of demonstrations called by Kirchnerist groups in support of the corrupt former president. Far from staying on the sidelines as their institutional role requires, the workers at the local PAMI office chose to join the partisan cause. However, they did not do so by marching or protesting in their free time, but rather by using the workplace as an ideological platform.

The scene was described with outrage by neighbors and members who found the doors closed and political slogans covering the windows. "It was a cold June morning in El Bolsón. I left early with my 88-year-old mother to carry out procedures at the local PAMI delegation. What we found was devastating: closed doors, windows covered with strike posters, not even the slightest attention, not a single person to receive us. Not even the door was open. Only one clear message: there's no one here today," a neighbor wrote in a public letter to the local portal Vivo Informado.

According to a preliminary internal audit, five employees, including a coordinator, were inside the building throughout the day, but refused to provide service to the public. "They occupied the building, closed its doors, and left people unattended," confirmed an official source close to the investigation.

In response, the central leadership of the organization, headed by Esteban Leguizamo, opened a disciplinary file that could result in sanctions ranging from warnings to expulsion of those involved.

"No political group can use state institutions as an ideological trench and hold citizens, in this case our elders, hostage to their activism. It's not only an act of deep irresponsibility but also an absolute disregard for the duty they have to the community," stated the La Libertad Avanza deputy, Lorena Villaverde, who strongly condemned the action.

Despite progress in appointing new officials in agencies such as ANSES, Vialidad, and PAMI itself, some delegations remain under the control of Kirchnerist activists who, as in this case, prioritize political loyalty over service to the community.
