translated from Spanish: Sergio Maldonado: “The domes (of the Forces) pass, but the structure remains”

Sergio Maldonado, brother of Santiago, the young man who appeared dead after an operation of Gendarmerie in an eviction of a protest of a Mapuche community, assured today that “it is important” the Ministry of Security’s complaint against the former chief of staff of the Portfolio Pablo Noceti for his role in the fact and considered that this presentation “must accompany the cause for the forced disappearance” of the craftsman.” It’s important. I think you should accompany the cause for enforced disappearance,” the man said.
In radio statements, Maldonado stated that the complaint made by the Ministry of Security “contradicts what (Judge Gustavo) Lleral says, which states that Gendarmerie had nothing to do with it.” This confirms our request that the enforced disappearance be investigated and an impartial judge assigned,” said the brother of the craftsman who was missing for 77 days before his body was found in the Chubut River a few metres from where he had last been seen. He added: “The impunity with which they moved is disgusting. It is time for the Supreme Court, where the case is detained, to assign a new judge, who cannot be Lleral, and thus advance and investigate Santiago’s enforced disappearance.” Sergio Maldonado targeted former Security Minister Patricia Bullrich: “She was all along complicit, cover-up and promoter of this. The investigation he did is not even on the court record.” Finally, when asked if he felt accompanied by the state, the man expressed: “I am clear that the state will always shit you in the security part, not on the social side. I’m already going on with that test. Depends on how much, whether it’s a lot or little, but it’s always going to fuck you up. It’s me alone against the whole apparatus of the state.” It is not the same position of the previous government, which was after us. You have to work on background things: the domes (of the Forces) pass, but the structure remains. He does not intend to have human rights preached, but at least not to violate them,” he concluded. The Ministry of Security had filed a complaint last Monday against Pablo Nocetti, Patricia Bullrich’s former chief of staff, for alleged “abuse of authority and violation of duties” as a public official during the Gendarmerie operation that in 2017 resulted in the death of Santiago Maldonado.Three years after the fact, the complaint is for the alleged offences of “disruptions to the exercise of the public service , usurpation of authority, abuse of authority and violation of duties” and was left to the federal judge Sebastian Casanello.La indictment also extends to former director of Gendarmerie Gerardo Otero and former deputy national deputy director of the force commander general Ernesto Oscar Robino, as “authors, co-authors or participants for the alleged commission of crimes”.
