Milei's government advances in a plan to strengthen border security

The Minister of Defense, Luis Petri, and the Minister of National Security, Patricia Bullrich, announced that they are working on a plan to strengthen security at the country's borders, a decisive step in the fight against organized crime, illegal immigration, drug trafficking, and threats to national sovereignty.

This plan, which involves security forces from different areas, aims not only to increase security at the most vulnerable points of the territory but also to lay the foundations for a state policy on territorial protection.

The proposal consists of using Army brigades, along with the active collaboration of the Federal Security Forces, to establish more thorough control in strategic areas of the border.

The use of drones and aerial means, cutting-edge technologies, will allow for constant and efficient monitoring, ensuring wider and precise coverage in hard-to-access terrains.

In Petri's words, this joint effort reflects the Government of Javier Milei's commitment to national security: "The coordinated work between both Ministries is yet another demonstration of our commitment to securing our borders".

This measure not only responds to the urgent need to halt transnational crimes but is also a clear demonstration of the new security strategy that seeks to eradicate illegal crossings in border areas.

The implementation of this strategy also promises to increase the effectiveness of operations by integrating new technologies, which represents a significant advancement over traditional patrolling methods.

This plan has a direct impact on the strengthening of national sovereignty, as well as on the fight against criminal organizations operating at the borders. It also aligns with the campaign promises of Javier Milei, who has made security a priority axis in his administration.

The announcement also underscores the libertarian administration's firm will to implement strong measures for improving security, countering decades of inaction, and taking a step toward a more modern and efficient management of security forces.

With this initiative, the Government of Javier Milei makes it clear that it is not willing to yield to foreign criminal and terrorist organizations, seeking to consolidate a safer country with absolute control over its territory.
