Tension remains in Misiones around the police protest that extends for the fourth consecutive day. Although there was “a principle of understanding,” the troops rejected the salary offer made by the provincial government. Last night there were again demonstrations on public roads.


This Sunday the police held a meeting with the Coordinating Minister of the Cabinet, Ricardo Llera , who brought them the proposal of a 15% salary recomposition. The offer so far does not meet the demands of active and retired police officers, and prison staff, who continue to demand a significant increase in salary.


As reported by the Misiones Cuatro portal , 25 delegates from the regional units and agencies of the interior and capital area met for several hours with the aim of unblocking the conflict. “We did not reach any agreement ,” reported retired non-commissioned officer Ramón Amarilla , who serves as police spokesperson. “I am not going to create false expectations, what they proposed to us is not close to what we intend. For this reason, no minutes have been signed and we hope that the Coordinating Minister will dialogue with the Governor to improve the proposal ,” he indicated. In principle they would not accept a recomposition of less than 70%.

“Even if you think we are going around in circles, I want you to know that we are not going to accept anything ,” Amarilla emphasized.


In this framework, the parties went into an intermission until this Monday at noon. “They told us that they are going to make an effort and try to unblock this situation,” he added and announced that they will continue camping in protest.


In addition to the salary issue, they also requested an “amnesty” for those sanctioned for the demonstrations, and to avoid future sanctions for the same reasons that were triggered in recent days.

Despite the conflict being unresolved, the senior non-commissioned officer (R), Germán Palavecino , assured that this Sunday was “a positive day” given that progress was made on other points under discussion: recognizing the dialogue table, reversing transfers and the removal of availability of those who have a police state, reported the First Edition portal.

"They have told us that first thing tomorrow morning (this Monday) the Minister of Finance, the Governor and the Coordinating Minister are going to meet to see how they will make the readjustment to make us a better proposal than the one that was presented to us," he added. about.

In this sense, Palavecino maintained that “we are on the right track and we are very optimistic. "We are going to resist from this stage and let each of us continue making the contribution as before."

The government of Misiones confirmed this Sunday that there will be no going back against the judicial accusations against the organizers of the police protest at the headquarters of the Radioelectric Command of the capital city, according to what an important source from the provincial executive informed Infobae .

“A complaint cannot be nullified,” said an official from the circle close to Governor Hugo Passalaqcua and added the reason for the confirmation. “They are crimes of public action, such as aggravated sedition; robbery, theft and destruction of state property .”

For his part, the Minister of Government, Marcelo Pérez , spoke at a press conference and reiterated that "there is an order from the Judiciary that must be complied with."

This Sunday, active and retired members of the missionary police forces woke up in the midst of growing tension due to the possibility of an eviction operation ordered by the crisis committee formed between the missionary government and the Ministry of National Security, in the midst of the third day of salary claim. The members of the National Gendarmerie arrived at the scene, but then withdrew from the area to prevent the conflict from escalating .

“I tell the national authorities who came to repress our people that they are not going to take the missionaries cheaply. We are community workers, professionals and if they return with this situation of aggression against teachers, health professionals or comrades from the Police or Penitentiaries, they will take beatings from the missionaries ,” warned the non-commissioned officer (R), Amarilla.

In this context, last night there were demonstrations in the Radioelectric Command Division I. Dozens of troops mobilized in the last few hours and Infobae had access to a video in which the police are seen expressing their discomfort between applause and sounding the sirens of the police. mobiles. The claim will in principle continue until after noon.
