Garré rules out transfer of Federal Police to the City

Security Minister Nilda Garré assured that regarding drug-trafficking, this year there was a “record of confiscation,” and announced the “reinforcement” in several zones to continue with the fight against drugs. She also ruled out the transferring the Federal Police to Buenos Aires City.

“That issue is not being debated right now,” she emphasized referring to the persistent request of Mauricio Macri’s government, although she highlighted that “we are trying to have a more rational and logical coexistence for the neighbours’ benefit” with her City counterpart Guillermo Montenegro.

The minister, who has been re-appointed by President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, said she was “very glad” to continue in her post and that she sees this as “a ratification of trust.”
