Sergio Berni
admitted on Tuesday "some police excess" in the raids in which the two bus drivers accused of assaulting him in General Paz after the crime of driver Daniel Barrientos were arrested.
However, he downplayed those facts, stating:
"It's a sterile discussion
. "
"Search warrants don't say 'go arrest him, but be careful because he's a good person...' They say 'go to this place, arrest him and bring him back.' forest and the problem that exists behind it," said the Minister of Security of the Province of Buenos Aires.
Asked about the tenor of the procedure and the video that showed one of the arrests in the middle of the night, he replied: "Let's see. There was some police excess...
The police have a protocol
to act."
And he minimized the episode: "They have to comply with that protocol.
Some said that the chain was released
. Entering into that discussion is totally sterile."
In addition, he preferred to highlight other aspects: "
The Police acted as they do whenever
there are different degrees of danger when there is a raid. When it is complicated, under Grupo Halcón, the door is broken down. Here they rang the bell, they tried to take
him quickly because there was a minor
."
"It can hurt many. We cannot be discussing these things today, there are deeper things," he added in dialogue with
AM 750
.
One of the measures that they put into practice after the claims and the meeting with delegates of bus drivers were
the searches of the passengers
.
Those images drew criticism.
Berni, however, also defended that initiative.
"Do you know how many searches the Police do per weekend? More than 100,000. In each football game they do 50,000 searches," Berni estimated, to contrast the criticisms that
his interviewer, Diego Brancatelli, reiterated
.
"We are
leading to a discussion that is not warranted today
. You may like it or not, but it was right. Then the situations are settling in. You have to understand that it is a complicated situation. The bus drivers wanted to go back to work, security, and then they They themselves understood that this is not the way," Berni said.
Sergio Berni criticized those who "play distracted" in the State and asked to lower the age of prosecution
Hours after meeting with Aníbal Fernández to tone down his crosses and speaking with the bus drivers accused of assaulting him, the Buenos Aires Minister of Security said that his position is "the most difficult place in Argentine politics."
In addition, he again looked at the inmate of the ruling party:
he criticized those who from the State "play distracted" with insecurity
and demanded the lowering of the age of imputability.
"
The effort of one alone is not enough.
Many State actors, with responsibility for building citizen security, pretend to be
distracted
, the discourse that there are no police and patrol cars comes in handy.
They ignore an unavoidable responsibility
that The State gives them to be part of the solution and not the problem," Berni said.

In another section, he again alluded to the
metaphor that Cristina Kirchner dedicated to Alberto Fernández
.
"
If I had the pen
, the famous pen that sometimes they ask the President to use, I can assure you that security problems would be fixed in a much more forceful way," said the Buenos Aires official.
Once again, he remarked that Argentina is "far from the complex crimes of Mexico, of Colombia" and pointed to the "negligence of the State" due to insecurity problems.
"I'm not just talking about the Executive Branch, I'm talking about the legal definition of the State," he clarified.
Among other statements, he questioned those "responsible for the phones circulating in prisons like hot cakes."
Later, he referred to the
lowering of the age of criminal responsibility
.
"Peronism must understand that we are not taking care of our youth," he launched.
"One of the issues that I discussed the most within my political space: youth.
What progress have we made in these eight years? (
sic
)
We are Peronists and for Peronism the only privileged ones are children.
Is
it believed that we are favoring them
by not lowering the age of responsibility and letting them access crime for free?", he asked.
He continued along the same lines: "Are we protecting them or condemning them? Not only will they end up killing, but they will end up like the vast majority:
killed in a police confrontation."
"I speak from the experience I have.
We are not taking care of our young people, Peronism must understand it
. That it is not the same to work as to steal. When the age drops, the inimputability is closed so that he can quickly access the crime, "he concluded about.
