“the objective is to organize the border crossings”

The Minister of Security toured the Salta border with Governor Gustavo Sáenz. The main objective is to strengthen the fight against organized crime on the northern border.

After the tour, the minister gave a conference in Salta Capital and reviewed the objectives of the Ministry of National Security with the situation in Salta.

“The objective is to organize the border crossings,” the minister stressed in principle.

Asked about the illegal border crossings, Bullrich responded: “The Gendarmerie will have the express order to dismantle any type of bypass as soon as we have an easy, simple and concrete legality to be able to ensure that what enters Argentina, between legally. We are finishing that work with the Ministry of Production of the Province.

One of the municipalities visited by Bullrich was Aguas Blancas, whose mayor is being investigated for the murder of his brother. In this regard, the minister explained that they did not meet with the communal chief: “It is a reality that, being the law enforcement authority against drug trafficking and being the Ministry of Security, we decided to avoid that contact because it seems to us that it is ethically the right thing to do. “. A journalist added that the mayor of Aguas Blancas was a candidate for La Libertad Avanza in the previous elections, to which the minister responded that “the mayor belongs to a neighborhood force and has nothing to do with LLA.”

Regarding the increase in gendarmes on the Salta border, the minister maintained that it will increase when the new system is finished being designed. And she added: “the Gendarmerie is dedicated to the fight against drug trafficking. In the Satla area we increased cocaine seizures by 100% and we have already seized 3,000 kilos.”

On the other hand, looking ahead to what will be the march scheduled for Wednesday within the framework of the treatment of the Bases Law, the minister assured that the anti-picketing protocol will be applied. “The protocol is not optional, it is a decision that has been made and there is no exception to applying this protocol,” she stated.
