ARGENTINA: New administration to adopt tougher security approach
Argentina’s far-right president-elect Javier Milei, who won the run-off on 19 November defeating Economy Minister Sergio Massa, the presidential candidate for the ruling Peronist coalition Unión por la Patria (UP), is pledging a hardline approach to security. His manifesto blamed Argentina’s deteriorating security situation, a major public concern [SSR-23-09], on decades of policies which Milei claims have treated “criminals like victims”. His rightwing La Libertad Avanza (LLA) party has called for security reforms such as privatising prisons and loosening gun control.
