The governor of Chaco spoke after casting his vote in the primaries, in which he seeks to start the path of his re-election.
In the midst of a Chaco shocked by the disappearance and alleged femicide of Cecilia Strzyzowski -and with the governor pointed out for his link with the Sena clan, the main defendants- the elections are held and Jorge Capitanich sought to tone down the eventual impact that the case will have at the polls.
The provincial president went to vote before 8, accompanied by his daughter, at primary school No. 41 and before the doors of the educational establishment opened, he was ready.
Before 8 o’clock they had already opened the doors of the school and he was the first to vote. After casting the vote in the PASO Chaco, he gave a press conference and made controversial statements about the disappearance of Cecilia.
“A police event cannot become a political event,” said Capitanich, who will seek re-election to govern the province, in what would be his fourth term.
In addition, he maintained that he did not have “the slightest intention of commenting” on the disappearance of the young woman, who has the province in suspense.

“If there is something we do, it is to guarantee the right to gender equality. We have a gender approach in the Budget. We are concerned about gender violence, these facts are aberrational and must be clarified,” said the provincial president.
Then, he sought to break away from Emerenciano Sena and his wife Marcela Acuña, who headed the list of deputies and after their arrest were removed from the list of the ruling party.
“They are autonomous and independent. Regarding the issue of sponsorship, I do it with many families in a disinterested way. The decision is to intervene to guarantee the exercise of people’s social rights,” Capitanich said.
Gloria Romero, Cecilia’s mother, also attended a school and said that it mobilized her. “Today is the angry vote. Everyone said ‘it’s not useful, it’s the STEP’. It does help you realize the anger that people have and it is a survey for what will happen next,” she told the press.
He also insisted that the “most important march is at the polls” and called on the people of Chaco to attend the elections to provide support for his family. When asked about Governor Capitanich’s statements, she replied that she did not listen to him.
Meanwhile, he announced that on Monday, after the Primary elections, a “Pink March” will be held at 4:30 p.m. and asked that it be peaceful.
“The march for Cecilia is for the polls,” was Romero’s request, through a series of stories through the Instagram social network.
In a series of posts, the mother of the missing girl asked politics “not to use Cecilia’s death” and urged the people of Chaco to “express themselves at the polls.”
“Vote for anyone, but not for impunity” was one of the messages posted by Gloria, and she asked that please “don’t vote blank.”
