Two factions of the River bar clashed in the vicinity of the Monumental

At the beginning of the first date of Argentine football in the match between River Plate and Argentinos Juniors, there was a hard confrontation between the official faction and the dissident faction of the millionaire, which left a balance of 30 arrests and 3 injured. At the end of the match that was played at the Más Monumental stadium, several videos of the crossing between the bars began to circulate on social networks, which were captured by the millionaire fans themselves. In the videos, it can be seen how the two factions clashed over the collector of Lugones Avenue, at the height of the Labruna Bridge. There were runs, stones and bottles between the vehicles parked meters from the River field, you can see how different projectiles such as stones and even some bottles fly in the place. In another video, several members of the official faction can be seen beating Alejandro Medina, better known as Ale de Budge, who is the leader of the group from the south of Greater Buenos Aires that is currently in a minority within Los Borrachos del Tablón. The man ended up with his torso exposed, without his sneakers and face down until a member of the City Police arrived to check on his state of health. Last Saturday, a group of men from Budge’s faction went to the vicinity of the stadium to raise a flag, which was taken as a provocative gesture by the official faction of the bar and to show themselves in front of the club’s leaders, because they are all on the right of admission list and cannot enter the stands of the Monumental. The official faction, which gathered in the area of Monroe and Alcorta, decided to raise its flag in the run-up to the debut for the local tournament of the millionaire team and, in addition, summoned more than 400 bars to prepare for the confrontation. According to reports, the dissidents were going to ambush them in Lugones, but when the official bar found out, they approached the Labruna Bridge to take them by surprise. There, Budge’s men, led by Alejandro Medina, and with bladed weapons, sticks and stones, came out to crossroads.
