Buenos Aires's Kirchnerist governor, Axel Kicillof, expressed his discontent with the Casa Rosada for referring to Buenos Aires province as a "bloodbath."
According to Kicillof, it is "mathematically impossible" for homicides to decrease at the national level if the province, which represents nearly half the country, were truly a "bloodbath."
However, this statement seems to ignore the perception of insecurity that Buenos Aires citizens experience daily. The reality on the streets is not always reflected in official statistics, and residents continue to face situations of violence and insecurity that affect their quality of life.
Kicillof distances himself from his security management
Kicillof also questioned President Javier Milei's stance, who, according to the governor, distances himself from security in the province when serious incidents occur but claims credit when there is "good" news.
Marketing or management?
The governor stated that "security is not built with marketing or catchy phrases, and the chainsaw brings neither protection nor peace to any neighborhood."
However, this statement could be interpreted as a way to divert attention from the shortcomings in the security management of his own administration.
Meanwhile, Buenos Aires citizens continue to wait for concrete and effective solutions to improve their security and well-being.
