The Minister of Security was in the center of the controversy on Tuesday with the Publication of two resolutions in the Official Gazette (BO). One of the resolutions implemented, highlights the Creation of a protocol for the performance of undercover agents and digital revealing –In Creole, a Infiltrated Army will move on social networks–.
This protocol enables these agents to infiltrate social networks and other digital platforms with the aim of investigating complex crimes. As part of this strategy, agents may create fictitious identities, which will be officially registered in the Renaper, which provides them with legal coverage for their undercover activities.
The other resolution establishes a Academic Council for the formation of undercover agentswho will be under the supervision of the special unit of undercover agents, previously createdcreated by Bullrich through resolution 1253. This unit was conceived with multiple objectives: Select agents with specific skills within federal forces, create a unified base of infiltrates, supervise training in this specialty and promote the use of undercover agents in operations. The unit’s direction was in the hands of Graciela Valeria Kowalewsky, who, like vice president Victoria Villarruel, was formed at the Center for Hemispheric Studies of Defense William Perry.
These measures have raised criticism due to the risks involved for privacy and individual freedoms. The possibility that undercover agents can operate on social networks and create false identities raises serious doubts about respect for people’s privacy and the potential improper use of these powers by security forces. Fernando Soto, Director of Regulations and Judicial Link of the Ministry of Securityhe acknowledged that These activities could lead to violations of the Intelligence Lawalthough he tried to justify them by stating that the agents act within the framework of crime prevention and do not violate essential rights.
For the Milei plan, more and more repression
In addition to the aforementioned measures, the government, through the Decree 383/2025has reformed the Statute of the Argentine Federal Police (PFA), giving greater freedoms to the police. This includes the possibility of carrying out arrests without court order In cases where there are foundations to suspect the commission of a crime and the person cannot prove their identity. In addition, The PFA is authorized to perform personal requisitions without judicial authorization In specific situations, as in prevention operations in public places. The cyberpatrulla on open social networks, public websites and other open sourcesunder the alleged objective of preventing crimes.
Los PTS-FITU deputies Nicolás del Caño and Christian Castillo They have been making a very hard criticism against Decree 383/2025: “It is the liquidation of constitutional guarantees”. With the excuse of “modernization” they seek to leap in establishing an authoritarian and repressive regime that, added to the ruling of the Supreme Court against Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, is also of political proscription. A true neoliberter regime at the service of imperialism and the International Monetary Fund.
Patricia Bullrich’s police reforms do not arrive at any time: they occur within the framework of conflicts between workers and popular sectors as can be seen in recent weeks. The lack of judicial controls and the increase in the discretionary powers of security forces are perceived as a risk to citizens, especially for those most vulnerable and prone sectors to be victims of police abuse.
From the Yel y They have been alerting for the “very wide faculties” to “discretionary” and what “political persecution” is enabled. Myriam Bregmanleader of the FIT-U and president of the Center for Professionals for Human Rights (CEPRODH), suggests looking at the context of dispute within the ruling party to understand why Bullrich does not stop advancing lockers. “Everything indicates that there is a fierce intern in the government, where each sector is armed its own intelligence group and that is very dangerous – Beyond that, in this context of adjustment and where children go hungry, it is a major offense to spend millions in their small pocket war and services to pursue and spy. This shows that the government is weakened “.
