Luis Brandoni. He also referred to the name of “Palazzo Pizzurno” and pointed out that it was in fact “Palazzo Sarmiento”, but “they changed their name”.

The former Minister of Health of the Nation also attended the mobilization Adolfo Rubinstein, who strongly questioned the government’s decision to suspend participation and called it “premature and without any justification”.

“Beyond the fact that the decision-making process was insufficient, because it was an untimely decision, without consultation, they have no justification from an epidemiological, health and less social point of view. It seems to me that this is a serious government mistake and a surprising lack of empathy with society. The decision cannot be taken in these terms, ”he said.

“School is not what infects. It’s crazy what they do ”said a protester. Another self-summoned directly spoke of “coup of the national government to the city. Will they send us the forces to control what?“.

In the networks, the first images uploaded by the demonstrators began to circulate in which under the hashtag “Do not close the schools”, they show the call for mobilization.

“Today we must fight against families, fathers, mothers and all those who consider it essential that children have a future”, was the message of the Organized Parents group which circulated on social networks with the appeal.

Currently, the question is in the hands of the Attorney General, to decide whether the highest court is the one that must decide the case or if it corresponds that the case begins in a court of first instance.
