Patricia Bullrich
spoke this Sunday about the escalation of murders in the city of Rosario at the hands of drug trafficking hitmen, which would be a response to a series of searches carried out in prisons in the province of Santa Fe with emphasis on pavilions where high-profile drug traffickers are found. .
The Minister of Security raised
questions about the press images released
, as stated, by the provincial government.
about the operations and considered:
“We cannot have people running around and give the image that we either have them or we win.”
It was when in an interview with LN+ they asked him why the photographs of those searches were released where the prisoners were seen with their naked torsos, sitting in a row on the floor and with their hands tied behind their backs.
The composition of the image was reminiscent of the operations carried out by
Nayib Bukele in the prisons of El Salvador.
"It was a decision by the government of Santa Fe
," responded Bullrich and thus sought to distance himself from the measure taken by
Maximiliano Pullaro
's administration to release the photographs and videos and that would have activated the bloody response to the murders in the city of Rosario. , which claimed the lives of four people in one week: two taxi drivers, a trolleybus driver and a beach attendant at a service station, where they left a mafia message addressed to the governor of Santa Fe.
Bullrich considered that it is “important” to first have
“total and absolute control of the territory”
to
avoid “retaliation”
.

The Santa Fe Penitentiary Service carried out a surprise search in four pavilions of the Piñero prison, key for Rosario drug traffickers.
“Right now we have to have total and absolute depth and seriousness in the investigation, in criminal intelligence, in who are those who are still going around
,”
added Bullrich and after clarifying that the publication of the images was Pullaro's decision, he said : "It is important that we first have total and absolute control of the territory and that what has happened
these days
will not happen to us ."
Bullrich concluded his position: “We cannot have people running around and give the image that we already have them or have won.
“That can generate retaliation, greater revenge.”
Javier Milei's official pointed out that now the "fundamental" task is to
"control the territory so that society feels safe"
and that "they permanently see the
thorough action of the
security forces."
In that sense and along with her Defense counterpart, Luis Petri, the minister will appear this Monday morning with Pullaro at a press conference in Rosario where they will report on the actions they will carry out in the province to control the situation.
This Sunday, after the murder of a 25-year-old beach youth on Saturday night, it was decided that the Government will send federal forces to begin working in the territory.
In this regard, Bullrich detailed that they will carry more Gendarmerie agents as the main force, also Naval Prefecture personnel
, intelligent boats
to control the Waterway and added that they work with the Federal Police on investigation and criminal intelligence issues, as well as with the
Airport Security Police
.
On the other hand, the minister highlighted that since the Pullaro government began, coinciding with that of Milei at the national level, a "
very important
drop in homicides " was achieved in Santa Fe.
"The siege that we placed on the criminal business was very strong and the siege that was placed on both federal and Santa Fe prisons was very intense," he recalled.
