Santa Cruz police chief forced out

President Néstor Kirchner’s home province of Santa Cruz has been rocked by union unrest and by violence for more than two years. Recent news tell that a former police officer has resigned alleguing personal reasons, being that he has been judged of the murders of several teachers in the provincial capital of Río Gallegos on Friday night.
A prosecutor yesterday said that Varizat had had the “intention to injure” the teachers who where demanding higher wages at the same time that first lady Cristina Fernández de Kirchner was leading a campaign rally in Río Gallegos.
Santa Cruz Governor Daniel Peralta yesterday replaced the provincial police chief, who quit after civil service unions demanded his resignation and was replaced by his deputy, Alejandro Martín.
The Río Gallegos Prosecutor Andrés Vivanco said that Varizat, who is under arrest, had intentionally injured teachers who were staging the protest, using his vehicle.

Personal Reaction
I found this article very interesting because it´s a reality in this country. The numbers of attacks on teachers and on numerous people demanding a better way of life are overwhelming.
The incident that happened a few months ago in the argentinian province of Neuquen is also related to this article, without mentionig the uncountable eppisodes that happen daily in Argentina. 108
On the months of elections these kind of eppisodes are sort of hidden from the public because the politicians are trying to make people think that the situation in the country is fine so that we think that they are good governors and vote them once again.
In my oppinion the way to stop these incidents is by denying our vote to those governors that we know are corrupt, and not being influenced by their promisses or bribes.
