Macri Confirms Elisa Carrió Has 15-Member Police Custody
Buenos Aires Mayor Confirms Elisa Carrió’s Police Protection, Citing Court Order
Buenos Aires, Argentina – City officials have confirmed that former congresswoman Elisa Carrió maintains a 15-member police security detail, a measure put in place by a court order dating back to the tenure of former Mayor Horacio Rodríguez Larreta.
Current Mayor Jorge Macri addressed the issue in a Monday interview with Radio Mitre, stating, “It comes from the time of [Horacio Rodríguez] Larreta. I can’t remove it, it’s a judicial order. Every year we ask if we have to maintain it.”
Macri explained that the court, in a case overseen by the late Judge Claudio Bonadio, mandated the protection for Carrió and other individuals deemed to be under threat. He added, “The Justice system chooses which forces to request resources from. What we did this year was ask if it had to be maintained, and the prosecutor confirmed that it had to be done.”
The confirmation follows a recent controversy sparked by images of Carrió arriving at the wedding of former Mayor Rodríguez Larreta and Milagros Maylin in a car driven by an armed security guard. President Javier Milei reacted to the images, accusing Carrió of having 20 taxpayer-funded security personnel.”In this photo, you can see the ‘Moral Seer,’ who is no longer a National Deputy and nobody knows what she does, with one of her two drivers (and more than 20 guards) paid for by the City Government,” Milei wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The Coalición Cívica, Carrió’s political party, swiftly responded, stating, “Elisa Carrió and other leaders of the Coalición Cívica did not choose to have security; it is indeed a direct result of the serious criminal reality that Argentina is going through and a decision of the Justice system.”
The party emphasized the threats and persecution faced by Carrió and other figures who have investigated and denounced criminal activity, highlighting the impact on their families. They concluded by criticizing President Milei, stating that his actions have not only increased risks but also exposed those who should be protected.
Argentine Lawmakers Spar Over Corruption and Security Detail
Buenos Aires, Argentina – A heated debate has erupted in Argentina’s Congress over the issue of corruption and the security detail afforded to lawmakers. The controversy stems from a recent social media post by presidential candidate Javier Milei, who criticized the use of taxpayer funds for his security detail.
Milei, known for his outspoken views, argued that accepting such protection implies a ”pact of impunity” with corrupt elements. He cited examples of alleged corruption involving past and present Argentine leaders, suggesting that those who expose such wrongdoing should not expect state-funded security.
“What he did is extremely serious and he must assume obligation for the very high cost of defrauding society by exposing the impunity pact with CFK,” said Congressman Juan Manuel López, referencing Milei’s post and alluding to former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. López further emphasized that denouncing corruption,even when it involves powerful figures,should not be met with threats or a withdrawal of security.
The debate intensified with the involvement of Maximiliano Ferraro, president of the Coalición Cívica-ARI. Ferraro, a vocal critic of corruption, contrasted milei’s stance with the actions of his own party, highlighting their commitment to fighting against corruption and organized crime.
“The difference between those who confront and play tough with retirees and those who confront and face the corrupt and mafias of Argentina,” Ferraro stated, adding a touch of sarcasm. He further emphasized that his party would continue to combat these issues despite pressure, threats, and alleged pacts between corrupt individuals.
the exchange underscores the deep divisions within argentine politics regarding the role of security for lawmakers and the perceived complicity of some officials in corruption. as the country prepares for upcoming elections, this debate is likely to continue, reflecting the broader societal concerns about clarity, accountability, and the fight against corruption.
