it had not been like that,

Following a complaint from the Permanent Assembly for Human Rights, Bullrich himself, Pablo Noceti (former Chief of Security Cabinet), Gonzalo Cané (former Secretary for Cooperation with the Judicial Powers, Public Ministries and Legislatures) and Gerardo Milman were charged. (former Secretary of Homeland Security).
Already at that time Bullrich had strongly crossed the Government.
"They created a plan to sow hatred and fear in people. There will be no pressure that can stop me," warned the former Minister of Security.
Months later, with Alberto Fernández in the Casa Rosada, the Kirchner government denounced Noceti and two members of the Gendarmerie, after an internal investigation by that force requested by Bullrich's successor, Sabina Frederic.
"The head of the Gendarmerie, in
an act of due obedience
, has acted in a political act by forcibly placing the place of the forced disappearance," Bullrich replied then.
