Argentina’s president, Alberto Fernández, acknowledged that violence and organized crime are “a very serious problem” and that “something needs to be done” after the attack against a supermarket that took place in Rosario, Leo Messi’s hometown. from the family of Antonela Rocuzzo, wife of the PSG player, and threats against himself.

“We are doing a lot, but it is clear that more needs to be done,” because “there, in Rosario, the problem of violence and organized crime is a very serious problem,” Fernández said at an event in the town of La Poma, in the northern province of Jump. “You have to do something for the people of Rosario and Santa Fe because they are Argentines.”

The metal shutters of the supermarket, located in Rosario, were shot by 14 shots in the early hours of this Thursday.

The threat to Messi

In addition to the shots, a message dedicated to the captain of the Argentina team, who was awarded The Best award on Monday, was found in the area: “Messi we are waiting for you, (the mayor of Rosario, Pablo) Javkin is also a narco, don’t be careful.”

Rosario, where Messi regularly celebrates Christmas holidays and owns a house in a private neighborhood with his family, is considered the city most affected by violence in Argentina, which has been hit by acts of deprivation of security due to the actions of drug gangs.

His last visit took place last December, after proclaiming himself world champion with the team led by Lionel Scaloni.

lack of courts

Fernández this Wednesday in his speech at the opening of ordinary sessions in Parliament blamed the Chamber of Deputies for not approving his proposal for judicial reform and the Supreme Court.

According to Fernández, Santa Fe suffers from “a lack of courts that prevents the rapid prosecution of organized crime that has expanded in its territory.”
