Vice President Cristina Kirchner broke the silence to question the arrest of the bus drivers who attacked the Buenos Aires Minister of Security, Sergio Berni. “They tell me that it was a joint operation of the CABA police with the Buenos Aires police. Was the magnitude of the operation necessary? and the treatment that was given to the detainee, as if it were about apprehending a drug trafficker in his bunker?” he wrote on his Twitter account.
With her message on social networks, the former president he got fully into the official internalwhich climbed in the last hours.

“Someone writes to me… verbatim: ‘The little drink that wanted to kill cfk was treated better than the bus driver who put a pineapple on berni’. Of course they treated him better: the militants arrested him, not the police, and I was lucky that Barrientos did not have, the bullet did not come out “he added.
In her message, the Vice President avoided referring to the acts of insecurity that are growing in the province of Buenos Aires and that ended this week with the murder of bus driver Daniel Barrientos in the municipality of La Matanza.

The last time that Cristina Kirchner spoke about insecurity in the middle of the campaign, an issue that Kirchnerism tends to avoid, was in mid-November, after her attack. “When we were in government, we deployed thousands of gendarmes in the Buenos Aires suburbs, I don’t know why we can’t do the same again”he said in the Unique Stadium of La Plata.
On this occasion, the Vice President did not refer to the fact of insecurity that generated the reaction of the companions of the murdered bus driver, but that he put the axis in the operation that ended with his arrest and that it had already aroused criticism.
