The Minister of Security, Sabina Frederic, got into the final stretch of the campaign prior to the PASO on Sunday and pointed out against the candidate for Buenos Aires deputy Diego Santilli, whom she questioned for his performance at the head of the portfolio of security in the City.

"Santilli cannot account for his management, in the City there was a

22% increase in the homicide rate in 2020.

The crime rates fell in 2020 because they fell throughout the country. But in 2020 in the province did not increase the homicide rate and in the City it grew 22% ", questioned Frederic in an interview with

Radio 10

.

And he redoubled the bet by noting that "

the homicide rate in the City grew more than in Santa Fe

", although he did not give total numbers on the number of violent crimes in each district. 

"They cannot talk about security in the City because the worst crime has grown exponentially," insisted Frederic, who also added María Eugenia Vidal in his questions.

Frederic's statement and the comparison with Santa Fe occurs in the midst of the growing conflict in Rosario, where the violence does not stop and six deaths were registered in 20 hours.

The data on insecurity in the City of Buenos Aires during 2020, amidst the restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic, show a decrease of almost 60% in robberies when compared to 2008, the year in which the he had recorded the crime record.

However, despite the quarantine, murders rose in relation to 2019.

The data in the City indicate that there were 124 crimes in 2020, against 102 in 2019 and 139 in 2018;

while 2014 was the year with the highest homicide record, with 197.

In the province of Santa Fe, according to data from the Public Safety Observatory, deaths from murders in 2020 surpassed those that occurred in road accidents for the first time in the last decade.

This as a consequence of a marked drop in accidents due to circulatory restrictions.
