Cooperation with the FBI was strengthened
Intelligence sharing with the United States was deepened
The official goal is to bring the Argentine system closer to standards used by Western countries in the face of the advance of terrorism and hybrid threats.
The Government clarifies that it does not authorize internal espionage
One of the central points of the resolution is that it maintains all legal restrictions related to internal espionage.
The text expressly prohibits:
Investigating political activities
Conducting tasks on social or union organizations
Obtaining information for ideological, religious, or partisan reasons
Influencing the institutional situation of the country
From Defense, they emphasize that the exclusive objective is to strengthen capabilities against external threats.
Milei advances with a profound reform of the intelligence system
The resolution signed by Presti sets:
90 days to adapt military doctrine
120 days to reorganize and equip the new counterintelligence areas
In the Casa Rosada, they believe that the measure corrects a "structural anomaly" inherited from Kirchnerism and allows for the recovery of basic institutional self-protection capabilities.
For the government, the new global scenario requires the Argentine Armed Forces to be able to respond to:
International terrorism
Foreign espionage
Cyberattacks
Psychological operations
Transnational criminal organizations
The decision marks a new step in the Government's strategy to reinforce the areas of defense, intelligence, and national security under a logic of Western cooperation and combat against modern hybrid threats.
