At that time, justice had imposed on the aggressor restriction measures and firearms had been seizedwhile the ex-partner had been given an anti-panic button, Croppi explained to Canal Doce de Córdoba.
A month later, according to the judicial official, the man was again denounced for “violating the restraining order” imposed by the Justice, which in this case accused him of “disobedience”.
Meanwhile, last year the third complaint was received, in this case made by his daughter Milagros for “threats of death”added the prosecutor.

And he added: “The repressive response of the State does not serve to change structures that are installed in society.”
for the prosecutor “The law is not designed to prevent femicides”an act that “has a context that is cultural and historical” and that is typical of “patriarchy.”
