The Armed Forces of Argentina will join “in the next 24 hours” the logistics of the security device that the national and provincial Executives will develop in the Argentine city of Rosario, due to the upsurge in violence associated with drug trafficking in recent days, reported this Monday the Minister of Defense, Luis Petri.
The head of Defense made this statement during a press conference held in that town, in which he appeared alongside the Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich; the provincial governor, Maximiliano Pullaro, and the mayor of Rosario, Pablo Javkin, in which they all highlighted the “coordination” essential to ending “narcoterrorism.” Rosario already experienced another spiral of violence a year ago that also required reinforcements sent from the government of Buenos Aires.
“In the next 24 hours, personnel, vehicles, transportation, engineers, and communication logistics will be arriving to make it possible to assist and cooperate with national and provincial security forces,” Petri said. Bullrich, for his part, said that he will ask Justice for “exceptional measures, equal to the challenge we face” such as “the use of the anti-terrorist law,” while at the same time he will send to Congress the so-called “anti-mafia or anti-gang law” and will prepare a “strong work on money laundering, the most hidden of crimes.”
In the last week, the city of Rosario has experienced an upsurge in violent acts associated with drug trafficking with the death of two taxi drivers, a bus driver – who was first seriously injured and finally died this Sunday – and a gas station worker, none of them. them with links to organized crime.
The president, Javier Milei, blamed “socialism” for the violence in the province of Santa Fe, where Rosario is located. “What the people of Santa Fe and especially those of Rosario are going to have to understand is that having given so much credit to the socialists is not free,” said the ultra-liberal in an interview with the LN+ channel (La Nación) in which he stated that “everything “What they touch they destroy.”
