The head of the Buenos Aires Government, Jorge Macri, ordered this Tuesday the removal of the leadership of the City Police and appointed the former interim mayor of Lanús and recently appointed Secretary of Security as provisional head of the security force, Diego Kravetz.
Provisionally and by decision of the Minister of Justice and Security Waldo Wolff, Diego Kravetz will assume command of the force and will be accompanied by Commissioner General Oscar Antonio Passi. Both will replace commissioners Gabriel Berard and Pedro Carnero, respectively.
According to the agency Telamthe removal, in addition to reaching the current chief to the deputy chief of the City Police, restructures the functions of the Superintendencies of the Buenos Aires force from a reduction to have more troops on the streets; while also lowers the autonomous directorates of the senior staff.
Kravetz welcomed the appointment and said he was “happy and excited because it is an exceptional police force” although he anticipated that he will try to get the security force to acquire a “more operational” role that tends to do more prevention on the street.
The character provisional responds to the fact that the Buenos Aires law establishes that the head of the Executive appoints the head of the local Police, but establishes that, prior to the appointment, must publish the name and background of the candidate in the Official Gazette of the City and on the Buenos Aires Government website.
“The inhabitants of the City and civil society organizations can present well-founded observations on the candidacy during a period of ten business days after the end of publication. Once the deadline for submitting observations has expired, the Head of Government makes the appointment,” the rule states.
Kravetz is a lawyer and served until weeks ago as Secretary of Security and interim mayor of the Municipality of Lanús. Previously he was a Buenos Aires legislator where he worked on drafting the Public Security law of the City of Buenos Aires that gave rise to the Metropolitan Police, predecessor of the City Police, and also served as legal representative of the National Business Movement Recovered.
What Jorge Macri said
“It is a gesture of commitment to our Police so that they know that we are not responsible for providing security and that we are here to accompany them in person. We take charge of that responsibility,” said Macri from the Chacarita Monitoring Center.

According to the new head of the Buenos Aires Government, the changes respond to the intention of giving the Police “a new imprint and a new stage” and reiterated his vision regarding social protests, regarding “There should not be children in the marches” because “the right to demonstrate belongs to adults.”
“There is no reason that justifies children being in a march or a camp, in a risky situation,” he considered and maintained that they will maintain the position adopted during the electoral campaign aimed at initiate “demands to social groups that mobilize with children”.
Finally, he stressed that he will also seek to “work with the national government to put aside the logic of arrogance in the use of public space and the imposition of the rights of some by the rights of others.”
