Carolina Losada, vice president of the Chamber of Senators, blamed Governor Omar Perotti, Security Minister Aníbal Fernández and the president for the insecurity situation in Santa Fe. “When you see that drug traffickers create a State within another State and you do nothing, that is more than negligence, it is complicity,” he said in Fontevecchia modeby net tv and RadioProfile (FM 101.9)
The escalation of violence made the governor, Omar Perotti, throw out the third Minister of Security in his administration. What vision did he have of this being part of the opposition?
The situation in Santa Fe is catastrophic in terms of security… or insecurity. Perotti goes for his fourth minister, but also for his tenth police chief.
The problem is that there is no plan against insecurityThe governor took office saying that he was going to bring peace and order, and he is leaving us with the worst rates in history regarding homicides per 100,000 inhabitants. The situation in Santa Fe is very out of control, but especially in Rosario.
The most serious problem is that this lack of plan has made it impossible to even invest, the provincial legislature has approved the governor, on several occasions, security emergencies with very bulky budgets. Those budgets were not even executed.
The police have no materials or training and are poorly paid, but for neglectnot for lack of money.
Drug violence in Santa Fe | Omar Perotti appointed a gendarme as Minister of Security
Do you agree with Patricia Bullrich that the city should be intervened by the military?
There is a lot to do before that. It seems to me that if the necessary budgets exist, they are not executed, it speaks of a lack of political decision.
If the decision is made for the State to act, it can be done sooner than that.
What if, we need a lot more federal forces. Aníbal Fernández went to Rosario only once, armored. From his office, he drinks mate and fights with Perotti, who, from his, takes an eternal nap. They fight with each other but do nothing in the meantime.
There is no center that is the link between the provincial police and the federal forces. What has been done up to now is not working, because we cannot have the number of homicides that we have.
When you talk to Aníbal about everything he did and the results are these, either things weren’t done or they were done wrong.
When you see that the drug traffickers create a State within another State and you do nothing, that is more than negligence, it is complicity. If you do nothing having the tools, you are an accomplice.
What is it like to practice journalism in a city taken over by drug trafficking?
The journalists have a very hard time and are very brave, because they even go into the neighborhoods alone.
German of the Saints He was threatened and continues to work with great courage against drug trafficking, continues to practice his profession and tell the truth.
coastal television She was shot with a police car and no one came out to chase her, days ago they fired a Molotov and no one came out, it is the fault of the province, of the heads of the police and for not equipping them.
The limits are constantly running in Rosario. While this is happening, there is a thriving city that wants to go out and do things right, that happens in the meantime, but the provincial and national government did nothing to improve the lives of Rosario. And it is an obligation to do so.
What is the conflict that keeps the Port of Rosario paralyzed and affects the industry
Beyond the waterway and the port of Rosario, what other reasons are there for there to be such a difference in the concentration of drug trafficking in Rosario compared to other cities in Argentina?
A logistical matter, the province of Santa Fe is supposed to be a roundabout in the country, for better and for worse. But if you add to that that there is no plan, that nothing is done and they are not persecuted, and you see the neglect regarding the fight against drug trafficking, you realize that it is the best breeding ground for this to happen. Most of the femicides are organized and ordered from prisons, in addition to not having prison intelligence, there are no inhibitors for telephony.
One of the most important drug traffickers in Rosario had a fixed line from the prison and organized the army of hitmen. How can what happens not happen?
With the money you have to invest in technology to prevent that. It would be necessary to have an empowered police force and with the necessary political support so that it can act. The police have to be monitored and on the street, like in Buenos Aires.
The money is and there is a lot that can be done, and even get international credits, the problem is that there is no decision.
It annoys me because in the middle is the life of so many people.
Drug trafficking today diversifiedThere are not only the hit men but also the people who press the shops and it is constant, and the people continue, you see a city with desire.
I go into the neighborhoods, I talk to people and they tell you to please do something because you can’t live like this anymore. I also meet with strong businessmen from the city and they tell you “all I want is to be able to go for a bike ride with my daughter”. This is transversal to any neighborhood, social class and to what you do. Insecurity is everywhere, the common denominator is the negligence and the ineffectiveness of politicsat the provincial and national level.
