(CNN Español) — Una serie de actos de vandalismo y robos a supermercados y negocios, ocurridos en distintos puntos del país desde el fin de semana, suma incertidumbre y enrarece el clima de una Argentina en crisis por la alta inflación, luego de las elecciones primarias del 13 de agosto y de la devaluación de un 20 por ciento de su moneda al día siguiente.Las autoridades, que ordenaron la detención de 94 personas, aseguran que se trata de grupos que tienen el objetivo de “generar conflicto” de cara a las próximas elecciones presidenciales de octubre.
