The Minister of National Security, Alejandra Monteoliva, participated yesterday in the lunch cycle of the Córdoba Stock Exchange to present to business leaders about public order policies and crime indicators. During her presentation, the official highlighted the decrease in homicides at the national level, reaffirmed the coordinated work with the provincial administration, and explained the economic impact of organized crime. She also presented the guidelines for the security operation projected for the visit of Pope Leon XIV to the capital city in November.
The institutional meeting was attended by Manuel Tagle, president of the Stock Exchange, and economist Guido Sandleris at the main table. The Minister of Security of Córdoba, Juan Pablo Quinteros, and the head of the La Libertad Avanza bloc of deputies, Gabriel Bornoroni, also attended the event. During the activity, the officials reviewed the existing inter-jurisdictional cooperation schemes between federal forces and local control agencies for addressing complex crimes in the region.
Regarding official statistics, the official detailed the evolution of crime and indicated that in 2016 there were 2,600 intentional homicides, while in 2025 the figure dropped to 1,600 cases nationwide. According to the minister's presentation, criminal organizations generate a cost equivalent to 3.4% of the Gross Domestic Product, distorting the development of private activity. During her speech, the head of the national portfolio emphasized that the implementation of the accusatory system allows for direct results on crime rates.
