As Defense Minister Luis Petri increasingly raises his profile, The deputies of Unión por la Patria are preparing to summon him to the Chamber, in order for him to give explanations for his management..
“None of these exercises have authorization from Congress. Tomorrow at the meeting of the Defense commission of @DiputadosAR We are going to demand Petri’s presence for this and all the crouchings that express the government’s policy of external submission,” the Union for the Homeland deputy published today on his social networks, Eduardo Toniolli.
The deputy referred to a newspaper article regarding a joint training of Prefecture and the United States Coast Guardwhich took place “235 nautical miles (around 378 kilometers) from Mar del Plata, in which students from the Higher and Cadet Schools of the Argentine Maritime Authority participated as part of their training process in the field.”

It is worth remembering that, according to the Constitution and law 25,880, The Executive Branch must request the Legislature for authorization to allow the introduction of foreign troops into the territory of the Nation and the departure of national forces outside of it..
