State inefficiency in Cosquín added a new chapter of institutional violence against residents. Mayor Raúl Cardinali verbally assaulted a group of residents during a public event. The incident was captured on video and exposed the lack of responses from a paralyzed municipal administration.
The residents of the San José Obrero neighborhood approached the event to protest the lack of drinking water. Far from providing a solution to the conflict, the mayor replied with an absurd remark:"You do have water... Shut your mouth." The official's arrogance provoked the immediate repudiation of the community that funds his salary with taxes.
This incident is not an isolated event within the public administration. The mayor's office receives dozens of daily complaints related to neglected streets and deteriorating services. The state monopoly on drinking water shows its worst side by leaving entire families without an essential resource.
Ideological stance while the city collapses
The contempt for citizens who demand efficiency contrasts with the mayor's media profile. Days ago, Cardinali had publicly declared that he would not receive President Javier Milei if he visited the Cosquín National Festival. This ideological stance reveals the priorities of a government that prefers political confrontation rather than governance.
