One of the great criticisms against Kirchnerism, in addition to destroying the Argentine economy and causing poverty rates never seen before, was its little interest in combating drug trafficking activity in the country, which has been increasing every year, especially in the city of Rosario, in the province of Santa Fe.

Manuel Adornispokesperson for the government of Javier Miley, was very clear in his press conference this Monday held at the presidential headquarters of the Casa Rosada: “This is not a game, it is a war. (…) “In this war we face savage murderers. (…) Either it is them or it is us. And, of course, in this case it’s going to be us.”

For this reason, the Argentine Executive has created a Crisis Committee that is headed by Patricia Bullrich, Minister of Security, and for the Federal Forces and the support of the Armed Forces. The objective is clear: to have a greater presence in Rosario to combat the drug trafficking that dominates the city with a rapid escalation of violence.

Bullrich said that “the president of the Nation has commissioned Petri (Minister of Defense) and me to be the ones to carry out, together with the authorities of the province of Santa Fe, a relentless fight so that Rosario is freed from drug criminals.” In addition, he stressed that “they are not going to bend our arms. We are not going to let up. We are not going to let Rosario be a land of narcoterrorists. “We are going to fight every day with all our might so that this does not happen.”

For its part, Luis Petri He told the press that “to fight organized crime, an organized State is necessary. Complex organized crime, violent organized crime, demands and requires that the three levels of government agree and articulate policies to prevent the commission of crimes.” “. He added that “we must make life impossible for those who decide to commit crimes to restore tranquility and peace to good citizens.” Regarding the participation of the Army, he said that “if the Armed Forces have a purpose and a mission, it is precisely this: to be guarantors of peace.”

Bullrich also announced legislative measures to combat drug trafficking: “We are sending to the National Congress the anti-mafia or anti-gang Law, which typifies a new type of criminal prosecution of organized crime, taking the crimes of these gangs and attributing them to all their members, such as made Italy’s anti-mafia penal code that ended the Italian mafias.” Along with these measures, the head of Security insisted on the need to “work hard on money laundering, the most hidden of crimes, which is not in humble neighborhoods, but in those with high economic capacity.”
