Notes:

In the dawn of April 3, 2023, Daniel Barrientos (a bus driver) was shot to death by criminals while he was working in La Matanza. This caused a strike of 6 hours in order to reclaim for more security. Sergio Berni (Minister of Security of Buenos Aires Province) went to talk to the protestors in order to get them to calm down, and he was beaten instead.

Berni tries to cultivate an image of being the Argentine Rambo, so initally he refused to denounce the people who punched him. However, the next day he started to push for conspiracy theories blaming the opposing political party. And so, the next day he denounced them, and were promptly detained by the police.

Of course, this caused a new strike asking for the liberation of the two drivers. This whole affair was considered to be one of the worst PR blunders of the currently ruling party, especially because this is an election year.
