Eduardo Duhalde remained yesterday without which he considered one of his main profits since he assumed the power: to have controlled the violence in Argentina and not to have to lament no dead. The Government lived the worse one on his days when he untied to the chaos in the Pueyrredón bridge during the confrontation between police and piqueteros, that he had as balance two deads, 90 hurt and 160 lengthy ones.

The President and all his cabinet took refuge in the residence of Olive trees, where only there was tension and extreme preoccupation, that was reflected in the faces of the civil employees. Duhalde was struck, according to described to NATION three of its ministers.

It looked for explanations of the reunited happened thing with his main civil employees: the secretary of Inner Security, Juan Jose Alvarez; the holder of the SIDE, Carlos Soria; the head of Cabinet, Alfredo Atanasof, and the minister of the Interior, Jorge Matzkin.

The Government had, 48 hours ago, information on possible violent facts in the poles that were predicted for yesterday, according to admitted yesterday to the NATION sources near the Secretariat of Inner Security. The order of the President was not to allow the cut of the accesses to the Capital.

The Alvarez and the minister of Buenosairean Security, Luis Genoud, were all the day in contact following the development of the operative one. After the shock in the Pueyrredón bridge, the Buenosairean governor, Felipe Solá, communicated twice with Duhalde and interchanged the little information that they had until that moment.

Solá, according to indicated one of its close friends, said to him to Duhalde that the Buenosairean police "had defended itself" of a "organized attack" on which its administration also had information of which it could happen.

Only by informal routes a species of dispute between the province and the Government by the responsibility had begun that fitted to him to each force in the facts. "I had concrete limitations to act because under my control they are the Federal Police, the Prefecture and the Gendarmerie, to not Buenosairean police", said Alvarez it in one of the meetings of yesterday.

Nevertheless, it did not define responsibilities in Buenos Aires. Last night, in Olive trees, Alvarez admitted that the operative one was coordinated with the Buenosairean police and both analyzed with Genoud a reinforcement of the security in districts for the next days.

The holder of the SIDE took to Olive trees information on a supposed plan of a sector of the piqueteros destined "to destabilize" to the Government with violence acts. According to two sources informed to the NATION that participated in the most important meeting that there was in Olive trees, the conclusion of the Government is that what happened yesterday is part of a scaling of organized violence, in whom are no precisions.

The information which it was handled in the closest circle of the President is that the group of violent piqueteros belongs to the movements Teresa Rodriguez, Aníbal Verón and those that respond to Raul Castells.

According to Soria, a plan of action of that sector, that looks for the handling of the social plans and, like bet Maxima, the fall of Duhalde exists, that was going to last fifteen days and finished with a taking of the Seat of May, after several days of violence.

The SIDE and the Secretariat of Inner Security would have detected that that plan was developed in the premises of called Avellaneda Gatica and, according to sources near both organisms, would not be tie with no adverse political sector to the Government.

All the sources consulted by the NATION (ministers and civil employees of the security area), they agreed in that was a previous decision of this group of which the protest of finished yesterday with violent facts.

The President decided with his civil employees, besides to reinforce the security, to make in the next hours a call to the population to contribute with the investigation. "He is going to be one night tense", noticed Alvarez.

The head of Cabinet, meanwhile, in Olive trees gave his vision of the situation: "They have confidence from which this is not going to receive support of the society, which happened does not have anything to do with the one of tragic the 20 of December (the repression that marked the end of the government of Fernando of the Rúa)".

The Government analyzed after the 22 how it will be the call which they made different sectors for today, to 16, in the Seat of May, in rejection to the facts happened in Avellaneda.

Before the information that indicate a supposed "scaling of violence", Duhalde decided with Alvarez to maintain the policy of not allowing that to routes and accesses to the Capital are cut.

The expectation is that the minister brings the promise of which the next week will come a mission to negotiate the agreement. Near the President, all assured last night that the news on Lavagna were not good.

Duhalde complained which at the most difficult moment of the negotiation with the IMF, and a shot dollar last night, it had taken place what less it hoped for his government: violence and died. It did not want to make pro nósticos over what it can happen.
