Overview
- At ExpoSeguridad in Rosario on Wednesday, Governor Maximiliano Pullaro defended his security record and warned that stopping current policies would let criminal groups regain control, urging rapid approval of new laws.
- The reform package called 'Herramientas para el fortalecimiento de la seguridad pública' is being debated in the Santa Fe Legislature and faces negotiation between Pullaro's coalition and a resistant socialist bloc.
- Organizers staged a public presentation of the government's model alongside a private security fair that included vendors of body armor, blast-resistant glass, surveillance software and other equipment.
- Pullaro vowed to keep empowering the Police of Santa Fe and the provincial penitentiary service while promising targeted action against corrupt or abusive officers.
- A separate panel at the UNR featuring former security minister Marcelo Sain drew harsh public criticism from Rosario mayor Pablo Javkin and Governor Pullaro, creating a new political flashpoint that could shape legislative bargaining and public debate.
