The Government supported
Sabina Frederic
with repeated gestures
after a new political and media conflict broke out between the Minister of National Security and her Buenos Aires
counterpart Sergio Berni
.
The first gesture of solidarity came from President
Alberto Fernández himself
, who managed to chat with Frederic during the videoconference he held with the governors to analyze new sanitary measures, according to official sources.
In the
WhatsApp chat
shared by the ministers, there were gestures of solidarity with the head of the Security portfolio, whom Berni called "useless."
The national ministers not only contained Frederic.
There were also complaints and claims towards Governor Axel Kicillof's minister.
I want to congratulate @SabinaFrederic and her team for the work they carried out to find Maia, within the framework of the Sofia Alert.
Let no violent act tarnish the relief of having found her alive.

The
third gesture of solidarity
was the most "public" and institutional.
Chief of Staff
Santiago Cafiero
received Frederic in his office for almost an hour.
The minister arrived alone, around 4:00 p.m. and left at 5:00 p.m. At that time, the governor of Formosa
Gildo Insfrán arrived
at Balcarce 50 (although no one wanted to clarify who was in charge of receiving him).
Frederic and the right hand of the Head of State also share a space for reflection and thought "
Agenda Argentina
", which brings together different groups of intellectuals related to the Government, including several officials.
The minister even collaborated with
a chapter in an anthology compiled by Cafiero
that included a foreword by the President.
In the Casa Rosada, some officials inferred that the appearance of "M" by chance - due to a complaint from a neighbor - hit the ego of the Buenos Aires minister, accustomed to cameras and spectacular operations.
Part of Peronism is already exhausted by Berni's verbal and political excesses, sustained until now by
Kicillof, Cristina and Máximo Kirchner
.
In the Buenos Aires government, where they usually defend him, this time they did not make an effort to deny the obvious.
They worry more than the insults to the second of Frederic,
Eduardo Villalba
, those destined in theory to the prosecutor of the case.
Some collaborators of the governor recognized that he had managed to spread the “focus” of the news: the appearance of the minor in an event in which the City had also been exposed, which - according to the Nation and the Province - took 40 hours in taking the complaint from the mother.
Security Minister Sabina Frederic and President Alberto Fernández.
Berni does not hide his harmony with the Buenos Aires deputy head of government
Diego Santilli
, something that falls badly in the Executive.
“(I talk to Santilli) every day.
We have coordination because we have territorial responsibility, we share a geographical limit - General Paz - that is not recognized for the crime.
Every day we have criminal intelligence information crossings, criminal analysis, we carry out coordinated operations to find criminals who offend one jurisdiction and reside in another, ”he told
Clarín
in an interview
in January
.
Close to Frederic, they argued at the beginning of the year that Berni's criticisms - due to the alleged lack of federal troops in the Province - are because he intends to coordinate the actions of the Gendarmerie, Prefecture and PSA agents.
They also pointed out that after concentrating the local police ("the Smurfs") created by Daniel Scioli -which always depended on the Buenos Aires, but over which the mayors had interference- he raised the figure of the "station chiefs", who in practice they function as "liberos" and
do not respond to Berni
.
It will be necessary to see if with the renewed pressure to leave his post, Berni keeps in his office mounted on a motorhome in the Puente 12 detachment, in La Matanza, his
photo with Alberto Fernández
that the President gave him months ago after an act in Saint Peter.
