The government insists on the anti-bar law and calls for "avoiding crack" between lawmakers

"The brava bar is a criminal group that needs to be eliminated as it's a tumor."said security director Guillermo Madero's football broadcast in the Chamber of Deputies. The government has again insisted that the anti-bar law be punished.

After failing approval in December, the project to eliminate criminal groups from stadiums began yesterday to receive testimony from participants in the plenary session of the committees of penal and sports legislation.

At the end of last year, the Chamber of Deputies had approved the project in general, but it was decided to send the question back to committee after the legislators had failed to agree on certain articles. during the debate. A few weeks ago, at the beginning of the legislative year the debate of the project in the commissions culminated between insults and accusations. De Cambiemos stressed the opposition: "It is obvious who does not want the project." The Kirchner answered in the voice of Daniel Scioli: "The executive has insisted much on the aggravation of sentences"said the former governor, stressing the importance of the "preventive aspects".

To overcome the differences and to ensure that the project's treatment does not end with a failure like last year, the head of the Ministry of Security urged "avoid the crack". Madero said: "The biggest problem of violence in football is related to the daring bar related to organized crime", and added that to "delete" the stages ", we must first characterize it".

"The bars have grown in the fire of power, the" rags "are the case of the corrupt police and resale is the business of the third lines, the bars are related to drug trafficking, weapons, traffic, banks and kidnappings "Florencia Arietto, a specialist in violence in football, also participated in the exhibition.

Recognized for his work as a former Chief of Security at the Independent Athletic Club, Arietto pointed out that "the connivance of the bars with the political history of Argentina is transversal".

Marcelo Elizondo, holder of the Superliga, participated in the discussion and spoke of the need to identify the identity of the people attending the matches. "In our football we meet a lot of people in the stadium and we do not know who they are, unlike what is happening in other countries or the experience of the World Cup in Russia. " People's behavior might be different if they know who they are. "

Marcelo Achile, on behalf of the Argentine Football Federation (AFA), disagreed on one of the points of the draft that provides for sanctions for leaders: "We do not have to legislate, but if we start from the base of club defense in general, for the clubs to work, it is the leaders who make the effort in every region of the country."

The origin: the frustrated river – Boca

The final missed Copa Libertadores between River and Boca, which was finally defined in Madrid, was the trigger for the anti-bar project. That afternoon, the bus that was transporting the Xeneize players was stoned by a group of Millionnaire's violent fans in the entrance to the Monumental, testifying to the failures of the organization and the security system .

The initiative provides for penalties for badault or intimidation, possession and possession of arms, bar financing, resale of notes, avalanche generation, obstruction of transfers, and the activity of "rags", and punishes the illicit enrichment of club leaders.
