Congress is beginning its period of extraordinary sessions with the firm intention of addressing the new National Juvenile Criminal Law. The government of the province ofCórdoba confirmed its adherence to this project that seeks to establish a reduction in the current age of criminal responsibility. This unified stance aims to provide concrete tools to combat the insecurity that affects law-abiding citizens of the country on a daily basis.
Deputy Laura Rodríguez Machado is leading the Criminal Legislation Committee and has the strategic support of the National Executive Branch. The original text promoted by Patricia Bullrich has already obtained a favorable opinion with 77 signatures out of a total of 142 legislators present. With the addition of 95 deputies from La Libertad Avanza and the support of allies, the ruling party is on track to achieve a historic passage.
Córdoba Security Minister Juan Pablo Quinteros will be responsible for representing the province's interests in this central debate. His alignment with the national security vision reinforces Córdoba's commitment to ending the scourge of crime. Provincial authorities consider that it is time to apply firm sentences to those who commit crimes without allowing their date of birth to be an impediment.

Official data that supports the change
The statistical survey by Córdoba's Security Ministry reveals that 80% of those involved in criminal acts are minors. Faced with this alarming reality, it becomes imperative to modify a legal framework that often functions as a revolving door for criminals. The main objective is for adolescents to assume legal responsibility for their actions in order to protect the integrity of society as a whole.
"It is clear that this is a discussion that must take place", Quinteros stated when defending the need for legal backing for police work. The official keeps that the current rights-focused framework prevents authorities from stopping the escalation of youth violence that is constantly observed in the streets. The initiative also includes maximum sentence terms to ensure that the judicial system acts swiftly and effectively in response to each crime.
The support of the councilors and deputies who answer to Governor Llaryora will be decisive in achieving a quorum in the parliamentary chamber. This way, Córdoba is positioning itself at the forefront of the fight against organized crime and common crime that is ravaging the population. The consensus reached between both levels of the State marks a definitive break with the permissive policies that prevailed during the Kirchnerist decades.
