Organizations that bring together survivors and relatives of victims of the Cromañón tragedy, the dance venue in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Balvanera in which 194 people died when it caught fire during a recital on December 30, 2004, demanded that the national government expropriate the property to the creation of a memory site. Through a statement, the organizations indicated that "today marks one year since the enactment of Law 27,695" which "was built through the tireless work of surviving victims, relatives of fatal victims and friends of the Cromañón massacre." . "It took us 18 years to reach Congress. The request that united us was to achieve a national law that allows the expropriation of the properties where the Cro-Mañón Republic operated to transform that place into a Collective Space for Memory," the text added. The organizations highlighted that "political transversality and consensus were guiding axes in this fight, which bore fruit by achieving the support and accompaniment of the people as a whole in the Chamber of Deputies and of each province of our country in the Senate." In that sense, they considered that "the processing of the file in the Legislative Branch took only 45 days. The support of the majority of the political forces in both chambers and rapid management by their authorities allowed us to reach December 30, 2022 with the Law 27,695 sanctioned and promulgated". "Paradoxically and with great concern, the treatment of the file by the regulations of the law, a necessary condition to advance in the expropriation process, has been going on for a year without a resolution from the Executive Branch," they warned. "The sanctioned law expresses that the participation of the victims must be guaranteed. From the signatory organizations we will fight and demand that the contents, the permanent exhibition, and everything related to the development and deliberation of public memory policies about Cro-Mañón be guaranteeing the full participation and the certainty that the State, no matter who governs, cannot distort the history of what happened there. Because if there is a faithful reflection to tell what happened, it is the sincere and true testimony of the relatives of fatal victims. and the survivors," the document concluded.
