Patricia Bullrich defended the role of the Armed Forces: “They have been very mistreated”

Within the framework of a new April 2 for the Day of the Veterans and the Fallen in the Malvinas War, the Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich, who participated in the tribute events together with President Javier Milei, spoke again about the role of the Armed Forces. The Armed Forces have been very mistreated during the years of democracy without allowing them an effective role,” and added that “there are moments in history that are judged and then we have to look forward. That is what the President of the Nation expressed today in some way.” In addition, the official, who is promoting a project to reform the Internal Security Law so that the military can intervene in internal security matters, stressed that the role of the forces “has been greatly reduced and without the capacity to do what they have to do.” Then, he denied that the National Penitentiary Service (SPN) does not allow the transfer of prisoners who are in the prisons of police stations in the City and stated that “it is the other way around,” because “every day it gives 90 places for convicted prisoners of the City to go to prisons outside the City and they are not always covered.” In that sense, he made it clear that “if the City escapes prisoners, it is a matter for the City,” but he tried to bring tranquility by declaring that “it is a management issue that will be fixed.” “We have all the will to take prisoners, but the City also has to take responsibility for the fact that autonomy gives it responsibility for the prisoners,” he concluded.
