Buenos Aires is thrown out of the street in protest

“They are killing us,” “Enough of femicides!” These were the fiery rallying cries of thousands who took to the streets across Argentina this Saturday. They demanded justice for the heinous crimes against Brenda del Castillo, Morena Verdi, and Lara Gutiérrez—three young women brutally murdered in cold blood just a week ago in Florencio Varela. The crowd gathered in Buenos Aires, marching from the historic Plaza de Mayo to the National Congress, desperately seeking answers as justice investigates possible ties to drug trafficking.

“The State Is Responsible”

On an overcast Saturday, citizens gathered en masse in Buenos Aires, unified in their outrage over the triple feminicide that has sent shockwaves through the nation. One week after the victims were last seen alive, their images adorned banners and t-shirts, echoing their struggle in a powerful and relentless demonstration. Starting at 4:00 PM and lasting well into the night, the protest served as an undeniable testament to the collective fury of the people.

Justice for the victims
Demand for stronger state intervention

The organizers highlighted two key demands: justice for the three slain innocents and an urgent call for government action against crime and drug trafficking. Even the Church chimed in on the necessity for a state presence and accountability. Protesters carried banners that declared, “The State is responsible,” while others made clear connections to the ruling party’s ineffectiveness, branding it “The freedom of drug trafficking.”

Traces of a Macabre Crime

As details of the horrifying murders continue to unfold, the citizens of Argentina are left grappling with the unsettling reality. Currently, there are five individuals in custody—three men and two women—while the alleged mastermind, just 20 years old and nicknamed ‘Little J’, remains at large and is wanted internationally. This alarming fugitive was reportedly the one who ordered the brutal killings.

In a shocking twist, it was revealed that the murderers live-streamed the crime on social media to a select group of viewers. This twisted act has led investigators to suspect that the murders were part of a brutal internal vendetta within a drug trafficking circle. As the investigation progresses, each new piece of information adds fuel to the outrage, compelling the citizens to raise their voices stronger than ever. One protestor’s banner perfectly encapsulated the sentiment: “We will continue fighting!”
