In this regard, the Minister of Justice and Security of Santa Fe, Pablo Cococcionisaid that “the current direction of public policy on security, both in the Nation and in the Province, It will remain unchanged because it is the commitment that was assumed with the electorate, with the institutions; “It is the expression of the will of the entire political spectrum by enacting 10 laws to recover the security that we proposed in December 2023.”
“We are going to continue along this path, adjusting controls in prisons, recovering the penitentiary system, putting the police on the streets, recovering criminal investigations and dismantling drug-criminal gangs,” mentioned.
Along these lines, the official indicated that it was “an attempt again to condition, through the threat of violence, the direction of both national and provincial public policies on security.”
Although the minister confirmed that it has not yet been possible to establish where the video came from, he trusted that “Now it will be the judicial investigation that establishes the veracity or otherwise of these alleged threats and identifies both the perpetrators and the place from which they were made, which is something that has not been established to this day.
“The city of Buenos Aires and the city of Rosario are mentioned, so it goes without saying that we are not going to spare measures in terms of prevention,” he added.
Regarding the latter, Cococcioni pointed out that he was in contact with the Undersecretary of Federal Intervention, Federico Angelini, “to coordinate the preventive deployment that, until further notice, we will be raising the alert levels, protecting some prioritized targets, but without neglecting any aspect of what is preventive police deployment in an effort to protect all citizens of the province of Santa Fe.”
Continuity of the actions deployed
Later, the Minister of Justice and Security of Santa Fe recalled that “both in the Nation and in the Province there are multiple lines of action being carried out” and recognized that “discontent may continue with this line of action drawn up since December 10, which It is the restitution of high-profile wards, the suspension of visits or very severe restrictions, the loss of privileges of certain sectors that were deprived of liberty. The same has been done in the field of the federal penitentiary service, through regulation of high-risk inmates, with which evidently some discomfort cannot be ruled out.”

Along these lines, Cococcioni assured that “Controls, searches, identification on public roads will be increased, particularly with emphasis on some areas close to the Criminal Justice system, the Judiciary, prosecutor’s offices and others. “There will be a general elevation of the alert level throughout the operational deployment, particularly in Rosario and its surroundings.”
Accompanied by the Secretary of Public Security, Omar Pereira, and the Secretary of Information Analysis and Management, Esteban Santantino, Cococcioni expressed his concern while confirming that “from the first moment we were in contact with Governor Maximiliano Pullaro with the Minister of National Security, the National and Provincial Prosecutor’s Office”, and added that “the investigation of the facts is the responsibility of the Federal Justice. From the Province we are making all resources, information, intelligence and everything that could be provided available to the investigation.”
