The Quilmes Advisory Council approved this Monday an ordinance to regulate paid parking in the city, which was generated restlessness and a later one Police intervention in front of the municipal headquarters, where members of the Excluded Workers’ Movement (MTE) led the protest against the privatization of the service. The event sparked a harsh confrontation between the two Juan Grabois and Mayra Mendozathe mayor on leave.
The approval of a new plan to regulate traffic in Quilmes triggered a relationship between the MTE boss and the official of La Cámpora. The Buenos Aires police at least intervened before the “Ragitos” demonstration One person was injured and another was arrested. Grabois criticized the “privatization of service,” while Mendoza defended urban order and formal work.
Juan Grabois He expressed his disapproval on the social network, adding: “Beating the workers two days before Christmas is a disgrace, no matter who does it.”
Mendoza responded with an audio recording that was leaked and circulated in the media. “I won’t fall for it psychokicked What are you trying to do? You don’t respect me. I don’t know who you think you arebecause what you represent is what is not needed in the community, what promotes violence when order and formal work are offered. The same thing happened with blood donation, with urban collectors, and now you are doing this. “I don’t know, Juan, in what position you think you are above the others when you treat us like this,” he claimed.
Sources close to the mayor, who is on leave, said that the neighbors are on leave I’m tired of informal car sitters. You mentioned Fights, robberies and drug use on public roads. They claimed that the district was suffering from a serious traffic regulation problem.
Laura Cibellia representative of the MTE questioned the measure in the dialogue THE NATION. “It is a regulation intended only for one company. A document that covers so many services is too much,” said the chief. The municipality stressed that the scheme provides for the formal recruitment of workers, pension contributions and social work for those who carried out the task in a precarious manner.
The mayor’s project, which received the approval of Peronism, the UCR, Pro and part of La Libertad Avanza, justifies the Municipal paid parking systemthe electronic control of violations and regulates the weighing of trucks.
This Monday’s extraordinary meeting marked the beginning of a new institutional phase. Eva Mieriwho replaced Mendoza in the office of mayor after taking a seat in the Buenos Aires Chamber of Deputies, accompanied the municipal leader in the 2023 elections as the first candidate for the city council position. The new formation of the Deliberative Council also debuted on this day. Ezequiel Arauz He began his term as president of the ruling bloc. Arauz entered the legislature together with Grabois in 2019 and renewed his place in 2023, although already in the ranks of Mendoza. In the past, he presented a paid parking project with cooperatives, but it did not advance in the advisory council. His change of political orientation from the Grabois sector to the Mendoza sector symbolizes the mutations in local power. Eva Mieri’s management now faces the challenge of implementing the new norm in a climate of hostility.
The connection between the two sectors in Quilmes was correct but strained for years. “There was always a certain level of tension, but a good relationship. A city councilor from Patria Grande entered this last list and MTE recyclers work in the Ecopark,” said a Peronist leader THE NATION. The arrival of a private company to control the road ended this balance. A local leader who has nothing to do with either sector is suspicious of the tender. The company ensures a significant fee for the Quilmes Centro, Quilmes Oeste and Bernal Centro areas.
Street checks have led to clashes in the past. “Coexistence was peaceful. At the beginning of her term, Mayra blew up the issue of horses in the centers, which led to a violent conflict with the movements led by Grabois.
Nicolas Caropresia representative of the MTE and the Union of Workers of the National Economy, explained the position of the car guards. “More than five years ago, the colleagues (for the car guards) organized themselves as a union, there was an exchange with the community, we put forward regulations to try to organize the sector. Now we worked in agreement with the community. In this way we were able to avoid bribes from the police, which have resurfaced in recent weeks. The obligation of the workers was to order that there were no colleagues who consumed alcoholic drinks while working. This had improved. From one day on They broke off the dialogue with the others and brought this regulation.”
