The bishops of San Justo and Gregorio de Laferrere (Argentina) spoke out about the violent events that occurred this Sunday in the 8 de Diciembre neighborhood, in the town of González Catán, where there was a confrontation between groups of neighbors that ended with five dead and twelve injured.
The conflict occurred during a neighborhood meeting in a land occupation, when one of the sides began to shoot firearms. There were women and children at the scene, and one of the fatal victims is a 16-year-old teenager.
Faced with this serious event, Mons. Eduardo García and Mons. Jorge Torres Carbonell, bishops of San Justo and Gregorio de Laferrere, respectively, recalled that concern about the violence experienced in the neighborhoods of the dioceses has been evident since a few months ago.
