Patricia BullrichMinister of Security, spoke this Wednesday about the arrest of the senator Edgardo Kueider in Paraguay and he believed that if he committed a crime he must submit to justice, within the framework of Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) which takes place in Buenos Aires and brings together the main leaders of the international right.
“If he committed an offense, currency smuggling, justice must decide on that reality,” indicated in dialogue with C5N. “I don’t know what situation he is in but it is not a behavior that we share”he added.
From the stage of the Hilton Hotel in Puerto Madero, he stated: “I want to tell you proudly, with full supportthat Argentina has emerged in all indices as the safest country in Latin America”.
“We are a Government that has a very clear slogan: ‘he who makes them, pays for them‘, and at the heart of our mission is giving a foundation to the rule of law,” he reaffirmed. And he added: “Without security, the rule of law weakens and freedom becomes a mere illusion,” he stressed.
Likewise, he stressed that the policy adopted by the ruling party is “protect the freedom, life and property of Argentines“.
The fight against drug trafficking
According to Bullrich, the landing of federal forces in Santa Fe allowed us to take control of territory and reduce 75% of homicides in the province, and 65% in the city of Rosario.
Under this line, he referred to the fight against drug trafficking, centrally targeting the city of Santa Fe and took the opportunity to criticize the management of Aníbal Fernández: “There was a theory, that of the defeated State, because the Minister of Security who preceded me went to Rosario one day and said that the war against drug trafficking was lost.”
“For this reason, I tell the minister that it can and could be done, but for that you have to have the will to understand citizensnot those who kill, commit crimes and murder,” he said in another message to Fernández.
And he stated: “The President of the Nation gave me the responsibility of turning this theory around, where freedom was for criminals and society was imprisoned. We are turning that paradigm around and freedom is for society. Prisoners and criminals pay it and are inside prisons“.
“How can it be that a State that puts its police forces in a school for three years, with a uniform and a weapon, when they use it they are looked at to the millimeter, to see how they acted,” he asked, and completed: “This is being reversed. Also this idea that you couldn’t fight drug crime.”
For Bullrich, the milestones of his management were the launch of the anti-picketing protocol; line 134 to make anonymous reports; the dismantling of social organizations in the collection of plans and the anti-blockade law: “They told us that we were not going to be able to make the adjustment that President Javier Milei proposed because the country was going to explode, full of pickets, and there Milei told me that we had to achieve social peace“.
“The instruction that the President gave me is ‘Not a millimeter of Argentina under the rule of a criminal gang‘. The country is a territory for good people, as our Constitution says, that is why we are prohibiting the entry of those foreigners who have committed crimes and who could enter through our border as if nothing had happened,” he concluded.
