The Minister of Security expressed her concern for the protection of the Head of State. In addition, she detailed what type of alerts apply today in the national territory.



Patricia Bullrich spoke about the security of President Javier Milei

The Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich, expressed in the last few hours her concern for the protection of President Javier Milei , especially for his trips abroad on commercial flights and in the context of the crisis that is being experienced internationally, lastly Iran attack on Israel . In addition, she explained the different security alerts that apply in some key points of the country.


There is no money, but we have to take care of the President . It is a topic that we have not discussed yet, but it does not seem to me that it is not a topic to put on the table. We must consider that Argentina is in a stage of austerity, but we also have to take care of the President ,” said the national official in dialogue with journalist Eduardo Feinmann on LN+ .


In that sense, Bullrich acknowledged that a possible modification in the routine of using commercial flights for the transfers of the Argentine president is an issue that has not yet been discussed. “It has not been discussed, I would not want to give a definition without having discussed it. But an airliner where there are a lot of people , luggage, situations that can arise, is not the same as a plane controlled entirely by us , by the presidential security, by the Military House, by the pilots of the force. air, it is not the same.”

On the other hand, the minister detailed the alert system that is in force in the country today as a result of the escalation of tension in the Middle East. “Today we have changed the situation, because when you see that Israel opens its airports, opens its skies, lowers its alert level, European countries also do it, Argentina also does it. “We have kept the alert levels high on the northern border and on the triple border, because that is where we have to take maximum care of possible people entering Argentina,” she said.


And he clarified: “We have lowered everything that we are taking care of throughout the country to a moderate level, except for the border provinces. And we have a high level in the embassies in the conflict zone and a moderate level in the rest of our embassies and in different objectives that are considered strategic . It is very important not to play with the alerts, because if you keep the alert forever, later when an alert comes, no one gives it importance.”

In fact, the official referred to the level of information on international security that she handles today from her portfolio. “We are integrated into the world's intelligence community. Argentina is considered today the main ally of continental democracy. We had absolutely gone off the map, there was no trust . When there is no trust there is no exchange of information and the most important thing is that exchange of information. That immediate online communication works is essential for the security of the country .”

Regarding the meeting of the crisis committee, called by Milei himself, Bullrich confirmed the country's position regarding the latest attack suffered by Israel. “The first thing that was raised, and that the president raised, is a framing of what our decision is like and why we made this decision. And from there, the issues related to the construction of the anti-terrorist unit that Argentina has were reviewed, which met on Saturday, as soon as the first news was known and already on Sunday when the president arrived. All measures were deployed throughout the country. “With enormous collaboration from the 23 provinces and the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires.”

“The president stated that we are with Israel out of conviction . We are with Israel, with the United States, with Europe, with the Western world, by conviction. Because we believe in the philosophy of democracy, of the defense of human rights, of free countries, where people can choose their lives in freedom . “It is not a matter of winning or losing, it is a matter of what type of society we want for Argentina,” he stated.

And he concluded: “When historically we were there, declaring war, three days before the war ended in World War II, Argentina entered a situation of crisis and very deep isolation , something we do not want. Neutrality is not the Argentine position , politically correct messages, such as the call for peace, are not the Argentine position . The position is that the states that belong to democracies, to the Western world, that have shared values with Argentina, Argentina is going to be on that side, whether they do well or badly. “How is the decision with Ukraine?”
 
Saw this coming a mile away. My sister is a flight attendant and she met President Milei. She said he was going down the rows high fiving everyone. He loves all of the fan attention but not smart with some whackos out there.
