After the incidents that took place in the morning at the Quilmes City Hall, in the context of a conflict related to traffic regulation and the formalization of the so-called "trapitos," the former Quilmes mayor and current Buenos Aires provincial deputy, Mayra Mendoza, confronted communist deputy Juan Grabois, whom she held directly responsible for the climate of violence that was experienced in the center of the district.
The protests were led by activists from the Excluded Workers Movement (MTE), an organization headed by Grabois that keeps a strong political confrontation with ultra-Kirchnerist Mendoza, one of the main leaders of La Cámpora and a figure close to corrupt former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
The intense clash between sectors of Kirchnerism broke out as a result of the urban planning policies implemented in Quilmes, which include regulations on traffic and the "employment situation" of those who carry out informal work on the street.
Mayra Mendoza's audio
Through an audio message, the former mayor expressed a strong reproach toward the communist leader and directly questioned his actions. "I am not going to fall for the psychological manipulation that you're trying to pull," Mendoza states at the beginning of the message, setting a confrontational tone that is maintained throughout the entire audio. In that context, she accused Grabois of "being disrespectful" and of "encouraging violence when order and the possibility of having formal employment are being offered."
