However, the president of the PRO assured that “There is no room for half solutions” and defended the presence of the armed forces in the streets to face the drug conflict.
«Two days ago I said it in Rosario: You have to use all the forces to take back the city from drug rule. To think that some still refuse to do it,” Bullrich said on Twitter.

“We must use all the means of the State to defeat them, including the Armed Forces,” Bullrich remarked.

“This is terrible. Another warning to the national government and to that of Santa Fe that you cannot live with the drug trafficker. It must be fought decisively. At the end of the year this begins to change. All my support to Leo, Antonela and their families,” he said.
On the other hand, the former governor of Buenos Aires and also a presidential candidate for JxC, María Eugenia Vidal, argued that it is necessary to “armorize the borders, deploy security forces and strengthen the Justice system.”
