Speech and Press Conference at the American Indian occupation of the park Mauricio Macri, Head of Government of the City of Buenos Aures. 9/12/2010. Mauricio Macri
... by I believe that this combined with a policy that has conducted the national government years of not enforcing the law is something that is clearly hurting, as we have always said, to the poor people first, who are not can defend it any other way.
why I want to ask the President to really work together on this, that we put aside the pettiness and understand that we can not as exposed as a society, insist on such uncontrolled immigration, the drug development, the advancement of crime and we must uphold the law.
all want to live in freedom, a freedom mature, mature human freedom is one where there is respect, respect for the other, which means respect for the law, with rights and obligations.
That's why we truly believe and continue to work to reverse the situation on the Indo-American park and to recover the public space belongs to everyone.
Then we call and ask the President to send federal police returned, we are going to add what we have, we know that is not enough, but you can help from the Metropolitan Police; but all the other ministries that were present there, social development, public space to help recover this that is whole and not allow what we see in television pictures, you loot a public space in the City of Buenos Aires; that is not acceptable and we can not accept, people are claiming it is because we care for all, we put limits on the progress of that crime.
And I ask all people in good faith, we see that they are negotiating with these groups of gangsters and buying land, do not buy it because we're not going to legalize, it will not to happen, said that I am willing to answer questions they may have.

Marcelo Ramalde Yesterday the Labor Party said he knew he had leading politicians who incited people to take the land in exchange for a future ownership of land and that these pointers respond to the government of the City of Buenos Aires.
And the second question I wanted to make is whether you believe that the only responsibility of the housing problem is the immigration policy of the national government described as permissive or if any other relationship or some other cause that has this problem more connected to the city government.
Mauricio Macri
insist. First, rejection and pointers we have to do with the appropriation of public space for the benefit of a few who are trading.
Second, I think we are all aware that Argentina is exposed to an uncontrolled immigration policy where the state has taken over its role.
I
that Argentines are open to receiving honest people who want to come to work in our country, but are entitled to know who they are, and not in a situation in which we live in an uncontrolled situation where it seems that the City of Buenos Aires have to take charge of the housing problems of all countries bordering or neighboring countries beyond Latin America, and that is impossible, absolutely impossible.
This has led to at least a hundred thousand people living today have half a million irregular, then I think we can solve it is working seriously in ten, fifteen years if we have a starting point and know where we stand, in this situation where every day get a hundred, two hundred people new to the City of Buenos Aires, we do not know who they are, because they become so irregular.
Insite, hand in hand with drug trafficking crime that are first to suffer them, it is clear here, clearly the level of weapons we have today in the slums of Buenos Aires City did not exist ten years, then this is something that we must act together quickly, leaves no room for pettiness, bad habits or to politics.

Beyond is a public call to work together with the Executive Branch intends formally to maintain a formal meeting with the authorities, namely you and President Kirchner.
Mauricio Macri
from this If the president decides to call I'm available, I think this is extremely serious, but more important is to enforce the warrant and to recover the park.
I think these moments are the moments where you have to show courage, the same courage that President Lula was when he faced the fight against crime, drug trafficking, after recognizing that the state in Brazil has been withdrawing from those places, we have to recognize that this is happening and regain a role and a state presence in everything and in every corner of our country.
AMERICA
What measures, beyond asking the National Government to return federal police, who have planned? And if it does the budget for social housing in the City is sub-executed?.
Mauricio Macri.
I invite you to visit together all the slums of the city and see all the work that has made this government did more than what had been done in the past ten to fifteen years in any of the villa you can go go and we're starting to notarize for the first time in history one of the villages, turning regular citizens and their property tax payments.
And right there a few meters where this is happening, there in the Twenty villa we have opened a center of education, which is the best in the City of Buenos Aires and before we had opened a sports polo.
with which we work, insist on achieving greater state presence in the villages, to achieve given the best possible quality of services, lack a lot more but again, we have done this three years older than in the last ten, and we can not, say, support this kind of behavior that progresses over mafia is just spaces are the spaces where we all equal and that they need the poor people, who are these public spaces in common

What will be the eviction of these people in land because of what happened that killed two people? And I also wanted to report that the opposition are saying that the 47 million budget actually implemented only 18%.
Mauricio Macri
insist Well, the work that villa has done is unprecedented, and second, sorry, really huge two deaths, but do not have to do with the eviction operation was carrying on the federal support of the Metropolitan; are no fault with weapons lost everything with a situation that has to do with what I described earlier, the lack of control, the advance of crime and drug trafficking in various sectors of the City of Buenos Aires is still time to reverse to avoid major headaches, like today we see that it is Brazil, which is Mexico because they did not act in time.
Argentina is time to reverse the past have made a country where the drug was visiting a country where even today there are many laboratories, a process that we must reverse, we insist on time, what can we do if we take it as a central theme.
This has to do, obviously with the uncertainty, all this lack of control we have, all this progress on illegal immigration where it is hidden drugs and crime, all this development of illegal weapons, must do with what we are going to insecurity in the city of Buenos Aires; all this progress of counterfeiting has to do with insecurity in the city of Buenos Aires, we must stop it, we must revert to a policy National take it as a central theme, that sanctions laws to prevent this situation in which we go from low to high resolving these problems.
C5N
Is it true that you want to create circuits of drug trafficking through the villages? And the second question is: What message would you give to the residents of Villa Lugano who have to endure this situation?
Mauricio Macri
That we
here to defend them. I know what is happening, is what they are feeling, especially in Lugano and Soldati, and this, all we must show solidarity, we must all feel that is happening in the Rivadavia park, which is happening in Plaza Francia, which is happening in the Forests of Palermo, not because it is happening in the South are not going to pay attention, this is exactly the same, we can not allow it, we can not allow it;
Again, this goes drug hand, the hand of crime, goes hand in hand with the gangs that lotean and sell, who prey on the desperation of the people, and others.
This is also why we say we will not give up, we will not negotiate, we will not pay with money from people, people who work, who pay their taxes for them to leave have taken place, must join the national government, sending police and evicted from that place, nor do we agree that we continue to rob the money from the people;
might not the solution is that you have to give money to those who committed a crime and who settled there with two possibilities: if you do well lotean and sell and be paid for what they took, and if not, it goes better with less work, we go and we pay a subsidy to go, nor is it an alternative that we will validate;
this has to end, has to respect the law ; all want and it came to politics we are in the PRO, that people have equal opportunities, to secure all Argentines out of exclusion and poverty, but that will be achieved with more work and that more work needs to be more investment, more factories, and factories so that more has to be more law and more institutions, then we must ensure respect for the law is the way to we leave all of poverty, no more exclusion, marginalization no more no abandonment of the law.
If we continue to let everyone do what they want the gangs will continue to grow and this country will have no future, the future is huge for Argentina but if we recover the value of law; is absolutely fundamental.
TELEFE
How do you imagine a next instance, there may be new operatives, it had just ruled that they will not give grants, other social support survey containment?
Mauricio Macri
We said before the request for water and food pantries are open we have in the City and there are many, the Minister is going expand.
With
which is not an excuse, I insist. What is happening is an illegal usurpation, is a crime, run by organized gangs that had been done in recent years in smaller areas, we've seen recently, also in the villa 31, we have seen on many occasions and this has to end, this does not go.
Respect for law does not permit us to continue digging in this way, or is this vision hypocrite who has managed the national government does not defend the law that does not use the police to uphold the law; is punishing those who have less.
In the south of the City of Buenos Aires can not live more for the advancement of such organizations. But I really ask you to join us in enforcing the law, the justice said he would retrieve the park, the park is free and good that the Federal Police to return and finish the work he had started and we do the best possible way, but that assurance. I insist, that here, these gangsters can not do that comes to mind.
