In September and December last year, traditional cleaners were fined 250 each by more than 50 thousand dollars each by the Government of the City and as a result this, 70 small businesses had to close its doors. The story begins in 2005 when Silvia Michetti , president of the company "5 à sec" in Argentina, and sister of the former Deputy Chief of Government, Gabriela Michetti , lobbied ( as "any business") to pass a law regulating the business of the cleaners, who was denounced as a monopoly.
Another name that is repeated, is that of Attorney Carlos Diez papers appearing in City Government in a letter to the journal Economic Challenge, signing as a representative of the company.
"It was a hunt " lawyer described the many dry cleaners, Luis Iraha, who on May 5 submitted a draft amendment of Article 36 1727 law whose authors, twist of fate, lawmakers were responding politically Michetti, Marcos Peña and Martín Borrelli ( both by the current deputy campaign Gaby), which requires the traditional dyers to change by 2015 the machinery for "third generation" using, imports and sells just "5 à sec. Cost no less than 100 thousand pesos.
The string "5 à sec", of French origin, and has 46 locations in the city of Buenos Aires and plans to open more. Last March issued a statement: " This bill is a step in the modernization -sector said regarding the norm. Anyone who has traveled knows that international standards are inclined to such services and not those of the old dry cleaners that are more polluting. They protest that really are running out of customers because they can not compete with our prices and services . "
At the corner of Luzuriaga and Rio Cuarto, in the neighborhood of barracks, Adolfo has a Superior Cleaners, one of the few not to be fined. And not because it is superior, the man admits, " but because it is a few blocks from the Riachuelo and in the middle of a slum . " In the '70s, Adolfo and a group of 30 colleagues began an "Advanced Technology" and bought the machines working on the basis of PERC , such as "5 à sec" now. " were other times, they worked hard and new machines had no bad results," says the old man. The novelty lasted three years until they reached the losses of solvent. Now, he says, his medical history has thirty one meters high: had four heart attacks and kidney transplant after he stones from drawing 30 . " And my brothers are engaged in the same, but never changed machines, neither had health problems, the only escrache me. "
The National Hazardous Waste Act , the 24,051, Perchloroethylene (perc) is considered eco-toxic and requires a maximum degree of safety in handling. CONICET researcher Osvaldo Fridman not recommend the use of PERC " in any type of garment ."
What happened to the other Members of the old Adolfo entrepenershiip? " Tamayiro has Parkinson's, heart attacks Yacawa and others suffered brain problems," says Adolfo.
In this regard, there was a request from Buenos Aires deputy report of the Civic Coalition, Sergio Abrevaya, and then Legislator Kirchner, Beatriz Baltroc, said: " was known" Gabriela Michetti were pressured to approve the rule, like its sister and other company representatives .
Ah, indeed, a curious fact: the agent 5 à sec called Carlos Diez , just as the judicial representative on behalf of the Government of the City is pursuing the Japanese dyers.
private businesses Gabriela Michetti, made from the Legislature of Buenos Aires are not clean. Clean clothes, dirty business, dry cleaners contaminated.
