The debate on the Anti-Mafia Law included this Wednesday a harsh diagnosis of Maximilano Pullaro about prisoners linked to complex criminal organizations, an inevitable topic when talking about drug trafficking in Rosario and violence. “You give them a millimeter of advantage and they send you to kill innocents”he warned during his presentation in Congress.
The governor of Santa Fe made a alarming diagnosis about what happens in prisons with the current regulatory framework. Within this analysis he pointed out that the underlying issue is to defund the gangs and pointed out: “When you take away their money and assets, you take away their power to corrupt.”
The former provincial Security Minister insisted on the request for greater restrictions to prevent the activity of locked up criminals. «If it were for me, At least 500 prisoners are not allowed conjugal visits or family contact.”, he noted. He then asked that high-profile inmates “not talk to anyone, not even the prison guards because they are psychopaths.”
What did Maximiliano Pullaro say about the Anti-Mafia Law?
Maximiliano Pullaro asserted that the reform promoted through the Anti-Mafia Law is “crucial to quickly hit organized crime with firm decisions.” At the same time he claimed “tougher and more forceful” regulations in pursuit of that goal.
The discussion in the Chamber of Deputies started from a project presented by the Minister of National Security, Patricia Bullrich. The governor considered that the text “needs modifications”but he is far from rejecting it.
When indicating the path of changes, the leader of the Radical Civic Union (UCR) considered that Santa Fe is a good example to apply throughout the country. “The reforms we have implemented since we took office are already beginning to show some results,” he noted.
The former provincial Security Minister mentioned the drop in homicides and people injured by firearms in the Rosario and La Capital departments. He then concluded: “It is proven that with courageous reforms violence can be significantly reduced. We cannot allow mafias to continue expanding”.
