the economic crisis is no longer the inherited, but the concocted and with elections on the horizon, the agenda of the ruling party seeks to acceding to the messages that polarize enough to achieve re-election. Security as a promise and motto of campaigns in our country not only make up the lack of policies, pointing to a common enemy that is built according to the times that run, but it also further hinders the resolution of one of the main concerns of the people. In recent months we saw a variety of accusations from put the magnifying glass on the immigrants and the (alleged) historical relationship with insecurity, the successive bomb threats, the failed Hezbollah of Floresta, Bullrich Decree on the use of weapons of fire by federal forces and the projects from which change seeks to achieve a punitivista trial of the issue. Some examples: was the economy “are forced to compete in a globalized world. Competitiveness is not an issue that benefits to investors or entrepreneurs, but that is the key to development, to generate employment and reduce poverty”poses Macri on 10 December 2015 in his first speech as President. Let’s change it came to ordering the economy, but it instead it much. The model it was based on private investment and openness but until today held based on borrowing and public investment does not appear sustainable in the long term.
“Back to the world” did not have an impact as expected and promised. The idea of change posed by Macri had its genesis in achieve a reconstruction of identity inherited by Kirchner, making the benefits of globalisation one of its pillars. Dollar highs, high inflation (2018) since 1991, unemployment on the rise (9.1% for the last quarter of last year), GDP in fall, 1 of every 3 kids in poverty and the detail that during 2016 and 2017 the Argentina was the country that is most indebted within the emerging economies of the world. There was rain, but loan. Security in permanent mode focus group, ruling test subjects and accessions. The discourse of change in the face of these elections will continue turning on the same axes that the 2015 (structural changes, Kirchner, Venezuela, etc) but has a dangerous stimulus on the leg of the security. The resolution 956/2018 more commonly known as the Firearms Protocol entered into force on 4 December and raised in article 2 ° cases in which Federal Police, gendarmerie, Coast Guard and airport security police may shoot.
On the beginning of 2019, it was own security Patricia Bullrich Minister who raised have reached the consensus needed to update the imputability in serious crime at age 15. The truth is that the project of the new juvenile penal system had already been announced during the year 2017 by the Minister of Justice, Germán Garavano. However, in recent days the ruling made public (again) intentions to send a draft law to lower the age of accountability. The new criminal code presented (it should be debated, amended and eventually approved) originally raises the hardening of the penalties for the offences for control of the street, as well as changes in topics related to security and the possession of weapons and attacks (by civilians, not security forces) in the demonstrations.
So the question is: how are inserted these announcements and policies of their own security with the fact that inflation projected for 2019 will mean a real low budget in all ministries (7.9% in the portfolio of security)? In times of election promise major parties repeat the “more police on the streets” as the only possible solution to a problem which different realities. The emotional political marketing, fav of change, uses resources of strategic communication that influence voters. In this note:
