Political spasm and minor scuffles: Messi-focused mafia message reveals extent of insecurity

The crosses between the governor Omar Perotti and the minister Hannibal Fernandez for drug trafficking in Rosario are nothing new. The penultimate chapter, which mixed tweets and sound declarations, was written just three weeks ago. and it happened. The huge difference with the tremor of these hours is explained because the mafia act focuses on Lionel Messi and the family of Antonela Roccuzzo. The impact causes political spasm and renew internalin full speculation to discharge its responsibilities and even victimize power. The message could not be more serious: the episode and the reactions expose the precariousness and expose the extent of the insecurity.

The situation in Rosario and the way to deal with drug trafficking is one of the problems the most confrontational in the relations between the Peronist governor of Santa Fe and the administration of Alberto Fernandez. It’s not just that: the case of the cereal company Vicentin, to begin with, and the unpacking in the face of the offensive of the Supreme Court, now, illustrate the tensions. This context also generates suspicions about the treatment of the province, in a context now amplified by the social and media attention on this last event.

The previous chapter of the struggle between the Santa Fe government and the national government had taken place against the backdrop of recurrent crisis in the provincial security zone and at the highest level of the local police. Added to this is the continuing claim on a greater presence national security forces and shortages of intelligence at this level, faced with a phenomenon that exceeds the limits of Santa Fe. A picture that involves justice and expose at the same time Incredible Legislative Twists and Delays.

The Messi case, directly and indirectly, put on the sheet the whole dimension of the problem. The reactions are measured on the same scale: some only add uncertainty, for a purely minor political calculation. nothing reassuring.

The statements of Aníbal Fernández –unhappyaccording to Perotti’s cautious response – were particularly moved by the idea of take for granted to drug trafficking the fight in Rosario. Strictly speaking, Alberto Fernández did not really shine in his reactions either, but the minister was anticipating a baseline of what the official speech would be.

References to a drag issue in Santa Fe have been repeated –20 yearsis the chosen time amplitude-, something which aims to indicate that it is exclusively localin particular because of socialist efforts. The years they would not show up for lack of a national responseat the operational level, as well as judicial and social.

The definition as a theme provincial secondly refers to Perotti. This is important, because the president appointed Agustin Rossi as the main responsible for his team to deal with the matter, the seriousness of which -in principle, the media impact of Messi- would require the action of the chief of staff and not only of the minister of the region. Aníbal Fernandez, it is clear, does not cultivate the best relations with the governor of Santa Fe. Neither, although on a different scale, the president.

Seen from this angle, the problem would be big enough enough to entrust the Chief Minister with the missions aimed at providing a necessary and rapid national response. But taking care of interior facade. Rossi, as the government pointed out, was also the best piece for its experience and management in local Peronism.

That’s not the only disturbing thing. The speculations that are allowed to transcend the circle of Olivos also add up. They point to a thread that I would link this case to the massive blackout this week.the first of two issues that the presidential address to the Legislative Assembly seemed to erase from the agenda, with an accusation against the Supreme Court that still making waves in the legal arenas.

According to this line, it would be two episodes whose intentionality it would hurt the government. This type of reaction to critical situations is not exclusive to this management, but even if it were so, the practical responses would reflect an alarming picture of state precariousnesswhich exhibits fragility in the field of energy up to institutional deterioration meet the challenge of insecurity.

Other considerations on what happened in Rosario they are no better. And the possibility is even mentioned that it is not an attack carried out directly by a link in the drug trade, at least directly. Some referrals of detainees from the police or messages to other forces have even been suggested.

Explanations and conspiratorial considerations of all kinds go hand in hand with the movements recorded by a coup in Congress, which has been virtually inactive for months. It is possible that move some projects in deputies, strengthen and expand courts and prosecutors. East a question mark the senatewho is awaiting the approval of the lists of judges and owes the necessary documents on the adversarial system of the province.

The challenge, in a broad sense, It also reaches the opposition. On the PRO side – and by extension, in Together for Change – a difference in weight between Horacio Rodríguez Larreta and Patricia Bullrich on the role of forces Armed in developing a global strategy to combat drug trafficking.

This is no minor detail. Talk about a substantive discussion that involves politics in general and exceeds the limits of Santa Fe. We’ll see if the problem comes out without Messi in the titles.
