Shootings, extortions and murders, every day Rosario rises with a new crime that shows the levels of violence to whom the drug trade reaches. The city is already the jurisdiction in which the most homicides have been recorded, according to data from the Public Security Observatory. Before this problem, Patricia Bullrich He considers he has the solution: “You must enter Rosario with all your might.”

Frankly and openly, the President of the PRO explains how he would seek to end the violence in the city and eradicate Drug traffic: “We are very bad, we are going to have to enter with all our strength, I am ready to do it because I know the subject, because I was there because I managed to make Rosario feel the tranquility of have a state that’s out there taking care of them and now they feel like they’ve been abandoned and they have to go out with candles in the street”.

In this regard, Bullrich highlights how she fought drug trafficking and the levels of security with which she ended her tenure as Minister of Security: “The dimension is very deep, we left Rosario with the highest homicide rate lowest since homicides were measured. Drug trafficking is a federal crime and microtrafficking is a provincial crime. In Rosario there is drug trafficking, there are contract killers, murders for the control of the illegal drug trafficking market, it is a city in which the drug law governs”.

As a sample of what the inhabitants live from day to day, in addition to shootings and robberies, the leader also highlights the threats, which seem to have become commonplace in the city: “They leave a paper to the traders and they say to upstairs money or bullet and they put the bullet. To the merchants of Rosario to pay a bribe. Rosario is a captured city. With what must you enter Rosario? With all your might.”

In her explanation, the political leader stresses that it is necessary to understand the magnitude of the problem, since it could spread to other parts of Argentina: “It is very important to understand that we must restore the order, if we don’t do it in Rosario, it will spread, because drug money corrupts security forces, judges and politics.

In this context, the words of the governor of Santa Fe, Omar Perotti, who took aim at the government for the situation in the city, resonate: “The national government has abandoned Rosario”. The sentence of the provincial president is due to the fact that he asked for more support to maintain security, but he assures that the answer was negative.

In relation to this discussion, the leader of Ensemble for Change gave her point of view and supported the governor: “I am totally against what Perotti has done since the day he took office, he is greatly responsible for what is happening today in Santa Faith. But he asks that the federal forces leave and the minister replies that they settle with the police, it is not like that, it is a state affair. coexist every day, they threaten their children, their wives, they kill them and they start to be afraid and when they are afraid they start to negotiate”.

For this reason, the PRO leader supports her plan and founds the use of the armed forces: “We must make a plan to eradicate the narco gangs that control the prisons and bring in the federal forces and prepare a new law in case the federal forces would not be enough, so the Argentine armed forces will have to intervene as they do in all countries that have managed to switch to low-intensity drug trafficking, as is the case of Colombia. until the entry of the armed forces, they were unable to put an end to the drug trade.

Beyond the situation in Rosario, Bullrich also pointed the finger at the government because of the delicate economic situation it is going through. Similarly, in view of the presidential elections, and in view of his candidacy, he underlined the course he would take if his party governed the country: “Public enterprises have more and more deficits, we will have to generate a policy that involves putting the economy in order is the only way forward in Argentina. They will result in policies that are tough on the bureaucracy and soft on the people. There is a destructuring of this huge rent taking that the Argentine state has had since 2003.” Finally, he also mentioned the realization of numerous social plans, with the aim of achieving that thousands of Argentines integrate jobs: “The social plan was the biggest scam that the Argentinian had, I am convinced that in 4 years we can get all Argentinians to find a better way out than a social plan: a job. If we are going to ask the government to continue doing the same thing for fear of a mobilization in the Plaza de Mayo, we must not show up, whoever is afraid of this must stay at home, otherwise we are not going to change anything .
