out of focus
The crisis that broke out this week with the four drug trafficking murders and the installation of terror in the streets of Rosario occupied the highest authorities of the government of
Javier Gerardo Milei
.
The President said that he will be "in every place that Argentines need" but delegated the resolution of the issue to Patricia Bullrich.
The official appeared with Governor Maximiliano Pullaro but also with Sergio Berni
, the former official of Axel Kiciilof who continues to speak through the media with the language of a "minister" when saying that they were going to send 80 cell phones from the province of Buenos Aires to Santa Fe , as if he were still in command of the Buenos Aires Security.
But
the feeling that Bullrich showed with the Peronist soldier and doctor does not sound as strong as with the radical governor
, who privately takes the bill for the mistake of the "Bukele-style" photo.
The previous week, prisoners were seen on official social networks with their torsos naked, handcuffed and lined up on the floor, guarded by provincial security personnel.
That image referred to the harshness that some sectors praise about the strong hand of the president of El Salvador.
The Argentine minister herself said, last February, that "we are interested in adapting Nayib Bukele's model"
after meeting the Salvadoran in Washington, at the summit attended by Javier Milei for a photo with Donald Trump.

But the surprise came through the national government when,
last Sunday, Gustavo Villatoro, Minister of Security of El Salvador, called Patricia Bullrich
.
In a courteous tone,
the Salvadoran told him: "The photo is a very serious mistake, they are wrong; you can only do that when the gangs are already neutralized and you have total control of the street
. "
The images of the drug traffickers in the Santa Fe prisons were after procedures of the government of Maximiliano Pullaro who act with a heavy hand with the drug bosses and incidentally, they would have sent a message to the lawyers, accountants and financiers who are still active with the criminal business in Santa Fe. Faith.
The national government understands that this "Bukele-style" photo generated fury in the Rosario criminal clans who would have felt it as a humiliation before the members of their own gang, their families and the other drug organizations.
The differences between Bullrich and Pullaro increased with the amplified "Operation Flag" deployed by the Nation
, which generated resentment in Santa Fe and Rosario, where their governments believe they need more concrete action and less "show", in reference to the President's statements. that "perhaps the new times require a bit of a show".

can fail
In recent weeks, errors were also experienced within the framework of the national government where
the increase in the salaries of the main authorities and the appointment of a new, inexperienced civil servant
exposed a particular mixture of laziness and laxity.
Beyond the television dismissal of the Secretary of Labor, Omar Yasin, the attention on the wording of article 41 of decree 206/24 (which extended the salary increase to "the higher authorities of the National Executive Branch")
fell on the Secretary of Transformation of the State and Public Function, Armando Guibert, a key official in the Nicolás Posse structure
, who was a Menemist official and with time at the Deloitte firm.
"Someone in January said no to the increase and in February he said yes: the decree went through the Chief of Staff, Labor, Treasury plus the Legal and Technical Secretariat, and no one noticed it? They charged 50% more salary and they didn't know Did you notice? because the issue came up on the 9th of the month and salaries are collected on the 1st...", details an official who knows by heart the path of any decree before it reaches the signature of the President of the Nation.
The same "mistakes" can be attributed to the appointment as director in the National Registry of Persons (Renaper)
of a 23-year-old girl, without a university degree or work experience.
Geraldine Calvella
, a libertarian activist from the Buenos Aires town of Saladillo, went from milista activity in Networks to being director of Planning and Supervision of Documentation Centers.
According to her, her salary would be 2.7 million pesos, something not insignificant for a person without work experience in public administration or in a large company.
In this case, the gaze is directed towards the growing influence of
Sebastián Parejas
, owner of the powerful third electoral section of Buenos Aires, appointed in February as Undersecretary of Socio-Urban Integration.
Oh the State...
