After the Chief of Cabinet, Santiago Cafiero, disavowed it and spoke of an increase in insecurity, the Minister of Security, Sabina Frederic, now recognized that there was an increase in crime and violence.

"We are seeing that there is an increase in crime , but especially in violence. We are concerned about both, but violence concerns us much more because it is the risk of life," said the minister.

The official assured that, to face the reappearance of the crime after the quarantine against the coronavirus, in the security portfolio they were prepared with "regular patrols, with new operations, with reinforcement operations, with dynamic operations and with the immediate response force "

At his side, the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Sergio Massa, emphasized that "insecurity is not a sensation, it is a reality, it is an objective fact" and stressed that this "is not subject to controversy."

"It is not a controversy of one or another minister or of one or another jurisdiction, but of taking care of people's lives," added Massa.

Frederic made those statements shortly after Chief of Staff Santiago Cafiero contradicted his diagnosis of insecurity. "Clearly there has been an increase in cases since the pandemic ; if we take the thermometer of March 19, when isolation was decreed, and where we were all in our homes and obviously after it started again and there are more and more people, Obviously there has been an increase, "he said.

Speaking at the Casa Rosada before the economic cabinet meeting, the cabinet chief added: "What I do know is what Security Minister Frederic says about a statistic in relation to last year; now, in relation to March there are obviously more cases. "

The head of ministers thus disavowed the proposals made by Frederic during an interview he had with Benjamin Gedan, director of the Argentina Project of the Wilson Center, a prestigious think tank in the US capital, and in which he considered that "there are not many robberies, but the media make them visible. "

“We are seeing acts of violence, especially on the occasion of robbery, that the media make visible. There are not many cases, but luckily we have a great intolerance to violence in Argentina and that is something that generates social and media reactions even when it is not the level of Brazil and Mexico, "he said.
