Buenos Aires – The broken slices of the Boca Juniors team bus are the last symbol of the biggest problem of Argentina. The scandal surrounding the violence of thugs in Buenos Aires and the farce surrounding the postponement of the Copa Libertadores final highlight the failure of badociations, security forces and politics. On Tuesday, the South American umbrella organization, CONMEBOL, must now decide if and when the last step between rivals River Plate and Boca Juniors will catch up.
2,000 security men had apparently not been enough Saturday to ensure the safety of the arrival of the Boca team to the match. Stones and other objects were floating on the bus, with some professionals being cut. In the fog of pepper spray and tear gas, the Boca pilot fainted. A manager ran the bus 200 meters from the stadium. The players complained of nausea.

This was followed by lively debates between the clubs and the organizers linked to television contracts to organize the match. It is only after the hours followed on Saturday that the transfer to Sunday. The next day, discussions resumed before CONMEBOL relinquished Boca's motion for another change. After the Boca summit, River Plate will be penalized for the riots at the Green Table and Boca after the 2: 2 in the first leg without fighting the winner of the Copa.

However, it is likely that the second step will be compensated. The date is December 8 in conversation. Before a new start is not possible. The G20 summit will be held in Buenos Aires on November 30 and December 1. The area around the stadium will therefore be strictly closed on Thursday.
The upsetting events of the weekend, however, raised doubts as to how this major political event should take place on stage, while the police were already escaping the protection of a football match. Former Security Secretary Sergio Berni has already criticized "the operational inconvenience of our security forces". A few weeks ago, the current Security Minister, Patricia Bullrich, said that the protection of the Copa final was a triviality easily achievable alongside that of the G20.

But Bullrich apparently had not considered tolerance of Argentina's policy towards fan violence. A few years ago, British experts, with their experience in fighting hooligans on the island, should help design a similar plan for Argentina. They quickly left frustrated. The "Barrasbravas", the local hooligans, are too networked with politics and other powerful people.
The "Barrasbravas" help politicians during election campaigns. At an event organized in Buenos Aires by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, under the reign of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, for example, fans of the Second Division All Boys filled the empty seats to testify to the popularity of both Presidents. In private, they sell tickets for matches, but also sell drugs around and in the stadium.
The followers of the river were stripped of their tickets
On Friday, during a house search, the judiciary seized 300 tickets for the Copa final. The owner of the apartment is one of the leaders of the Ultras River, which usually infiltrates about 300 "Barrabravas" in the stadium. He was not arrested. His people were missing the tickets. Many supporters of River were deprived of their tickets Saturday in front of the stadium.
"Nobody can be naive enough not to badociate this with the seizure of the incident last Friday," said Mayor of Buenos Aires, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta. It was unclear why the security forces had acted in such a way that the bus attack of the team was possible.
Even the leaders of the Boca Juniors Club and River Plate are closely linked to politics. President Mauricio Macri once led the Boca Juniors for ten years and used it as a stepping stone for his political career. As a fan on the outside, Macri was not allowed to return to the finals at the River Stadium. Invited fans have been banned from arenas since 2013 because of the conditions that govern Argentine football. (AP)
