After leading an anti-narco operation in Rosario, the Buenos Aires Security Minister, Sergio Berni, once again differentiated himself from his peer from the Nation, Sabina Frederic, and also questioned his predecessor, Patricia Bullrich.
The Buenosairean official considered that "neither of the two" is better because
Bullrich "is a lot of marketing and little result"
and Frederic
"directly no result"
.
And he finished: "There is a general claim regarding the operation of that Ministry."
This Thursday night, Berni led the "White Wind Operation" in Rosario in which they thwarted a gang that traded and distributed drugs from Rosario to San Nicolás, in the province of Buenos Aires.
"I saw a sad, dull, empty Rosary. It is not the one I left when I left in 2015," he analyzed, and requested the intervention of the national forces.
He said that "you have to understand the claim" of Governor Omar Perotti, who "asks that the Ministry of National Security take over a role that falls to it." In that sense, he emphasized: "Drug trafficking is a federal crime. In the fight against drug trafficking there is an inescapable responsibility of the federal forces.
What Perotti is asking is nothing more than to fulfill the role and mission of the Ministry of Security. of the Nation
".
The Buenos Aires minister exemplified with what his strength does in the Province and requested the collaboration of the Government in these cases: "A bunker is demolished but it is without total connection with the federal Justice, without knowing if it is investigated. It is not a question of policing But also research where the Government has to coordinate all the procedures because they all have a connection and this is a large network that spreads like an oil slick in the water. "
When asked on
radio La Red
about what he would do if he would be in charge of the national forces, he exclaimed: "The same as six years ago when I settled in Rosario, I did not go a week."
And he recalled:
"We deployed more than 3,000 members of the federal forces
in an hour and we worked on persecution, criminal intelligence and obtaining evidence. In less than a week Rosario had regained peace and was no longer the front page of the newspapers. At night we went out to patrol and be with the neighbors. You
have to be in the territory, command and control. It is the only way to understand reality by yourself and not by third parties
. "
Berni, who criticized Frederic's management publicly on several occasions, pointed out that "it is not a personal matter" because "it is no coincidence that what happens to us in the Province happens the same to Santa Fe,
there is a generalized claim regarding the functioning of that Ministry
".

When asked what he would advise Frederic, he remarked: "I would go to see her, explain the situation to her and tell her what the different approach routes would be and what is the complementary task that she should do in each of the provinces."
In that sense, he pointed out that "it is not only to send" gendarmes or a "question of presence."
And he exemplified: "The central square of Rosario is surrounded by gendarmes and the truth is that they are not there to do marketing. You have to be in the deep neighborhoods, where crime is generated and there are those who sell drugs. You
have to do criminal intelligence. It is the basis of success. To do it you have to be on the street, walk around and see the movements in the neighborhoods
. "
Berni's sayings came amid Frederic's controversial statements.
It is that while the crimes in Rosario grow, the Minister of Security got involved in the campaign and targeted the candidate Diego Santilli, who until July served as Buenos Aires Minister of Justice and Security.
The minister warned that "the homicide rate in the city grew more than in Santa Fe," although she did not give total numbers on the number of violent crimes in each district.
From the PRO they went out to cross it.
One of them was Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, who warned that what the official said "is incredible and very serious."
"It seems to me that Larreta does not know how to count," attacked Frederic.
For his part, Governor Perotti said that "the minister does not understand perfectly" the management line marked by President Alberto Fernández.
"There is a different situation here that requires presence and accompaniment," said the former senator after learning that the official ruled out sending more federal forces to the province.
