The Ministry of Security (Spanish: Ministerio de Seguridad; MINSEG) of Argentina is a ministry of the national executive power that oversees public safety and security. It co-ordinates the country's national security policy and oversees the Federal Police, the Airport Security Police, the Naval Prefecture and the National Gendarmerie, as well as the newly created Federal Council for Interior Security. The Ministry was created in 2010 by decree of then-President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner; matters of national security had previously been part of the Ministry of Justice's portfolio. The current minister of security is Aníbal Fernández, who assumed office in 2021 under President Alberto Fernández. From Wikipedia
