STORYLINE:

More than three months after the death of Diego Maradona, this Wednesday, March 10, fans gathered in different parts of Argentina to march for justice.

The Obelisk, the heart of the City of Buenos Aires, Rosario and La Plata were the points chosen for the rallies in which his daughters, Dalma and Giannina participated, along with his mother, Claudia Villafañe. Also there were his girlfriend Verónica Ojeda and his son "Dieguito" Fernando.

After a quick call on social networks, the event achieved a massive diffusion, with an agreed meeting point for 6 pm. The two eldest daughters of Maradona asked for a march and protest in peace and with everyone wearing face masks.

The most emotional moment of the afternoon was the arrival of the women to the place, where they arrived dressed in T-shirts that said "Justice for God" and carried a flag saying "Social and judicial condemnation for the guilty". But a few minutes later they left the place due to the overflow of the public and the press and entered the Hotel Presidente.

The last son of Maradona was together with his mother.

Also present were former footballers very close to Maradona, such as former goalkeeper Sergio Goycochea and former striker Claudio García. At the end, there were minor incidents that were quickly reduced by the police, while the chants of "Maradooo ... Maradooo ...." and "all traitors we are going to kill" covered the ambient noise.

Maradona's daughter Dalma uploaded a statement to her Instagram account in which she clarified the reasons why they withdrew shortly after arriving from the march: "Unfortunately we were walked to the Obelisk until the press came to us. Furthermore, it was impossible to continue advancing because the press also began to push. We did not go to give notes because it was not our goal. Nobody insulted my mother as they want to invent and we did not take refuge in a hotel (...)".

The profusion of flags hung on the bars that surrounded the Buenos Aires Obelisk contained inscriptions with very clear recipients.

Matías Morla, former manager of Maradona and current owner of the “Maradona” brand, was the great target for those who attended the Buenos Aires center. Leopoldo Luque, the neurologist who is involved in the cause of death, was another attacked in the songs. Lawyer Victor Stinfale, Morla's partner, was also singled out.

“Morla, Stinfale, Luque, Oliva, traitors, neither forget nor forgive”, together with a Maradona shirt from the Argentine team drawn with the number 10, was signed by the group “Diego Vive”.

“Justice for God”, signed the group Navidad Maradoniana, and “Justice for Pelusa- Los Cebollitas Group”.

Another of "Diego Vive" again pointed to the lawyer Morla with extreme harshness: "Morla, your sentence is social, you have no forgiveness from God."

And comparing one with another, another text signed by "Los Pelusa" pointed out: "They have no forgiveness from you. To Diego everything, to the enemy or justice ”.

Some took the opportunity to sell Maradona souvenirs such as T-shirts with his face or the World Cup for 600 pesos, hats for $ 350 and large flags for $ 500.

When an hour had not yet elapsed from the moment of the convocation, people continued to arrive in the Obelisk area, cutting 9 de Julio Avenue.

The court case seeks to investigate whether El Diez, who had long been suffering from physical ailments and depression, was the victim of negligence by the team of doctors who guarded his health in a rented house on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, where he died. Seven people, including a neurosurgeon and a psychiatrist, are charged.
