* “Patricia Bullrich is not qualified to head a consortium,” explained an important businessman who achieved equal success when he temporarily devoted himself to politics.
* “Please give Patricia Bullrich some lessons in economics,” asked Mauricio Macri, a GOP economist concerned because on the campaign trail he had confused discontent with recession and hyperinflation.
* Patricia Bullrich’s style was so moody that her imitator Anacleta Chicle, of Blender’s Thomas Rebor, went viral.
Authoritarians don’t like this
The practice of professional and critical journalism is an essential pillar of democracy. This is why it bothers those who believe they are the bearers of the truth.
* “Bullrich knows nothing about security, she deals with security in politics,” explained a conservative elected for his success in the fight against insecurity.
* “They call me drunk all the time because they can’t tell me that they’ve ever seen me do something to keep people’s money, they use absolutely ridiculous things, because all my life I’ve been living a life of austerity, and I could have chosen another life” (Patricia Bullrich).

Its penultimate political boss, Elisa Carrillo, said that Bullrich “cannot stop and sometimes has masculine ways,” and added: “I know all his faces,” noting that when the Civic coalition lost to Macri, Patricia Bullrich abandoned her and went with the winner, which is the same thing she had done before with Peronism: from being a deputy with Menem to the coalition to Minister of Labor with de la Rúa, and also before the same turn: from Peronism from Peronism to the coalition. Left to Menemism. As it stands now, participation in PRO to LLA, is a constant in his life.
In 2015, when Mauricio Macri appointed her as Minister of Security, where she found the aura that enabled her to build her political uniqueness and gain popularity, he said he thought of her because she was dedicated to working 24 hours a day.
When Patricia Bullrich was sworn in as a senator on Friday, she was accompanied by her current partner, Guillermo Yanco, who she herself remembers telling her: “Don’t make me choose between politics and my partner, because you already know the answer: I will stick to politics.”
“The inability to stop,” as Elisa Carrillo says of her, perhaps defines her better than anything else: with anyone, whoever, she always advances with the arrow of history. Even belonging to another generation closer to Victoria Villarroel’s father (only eight years older than Bullrich), she “couldn’t stop” in her first appearance as a senator and had to face the vice president from day one, awakening the dormant irony of the 1970s.
Bullrich didn’t plant bombs in kindergartens, Miley said (where’s the trial she started against him when they were presidential candidates?), but the vice president is credited with having evidence of his involvement in terrorist acts. In her always comical contribution, Victoria Villarroel’s arch enemy, Lilia Lemoine, said: “Patricia Bullrich planted bombs in kindergarten, but she was a teenager and now she is with us and we adore her.”
The contrast between the image of Bullrich confronting Villarroel cannot but lead the mind to the role that has been invested in the journey of the last half century. Villarroel’s father was recognized as one of the bravest fighters of the Malvinas War by General Balza, despite being in opposing ideological camps within the army, because he had to defeat the Carapintadas rebellion once and for all while Villarroel’s father was Aldo Rico’s second in command in the 602nd Commando Company in Las Malvinas and in 1983 he refused to swear the oath to the National Constitution.
For her part, in those 1970s Bullrich was a member of the Montoneros group and her first husband was the sociologist and professor Marcelo “Pancho” Langieri, also a Montonero from Galimberti’s inner circle, who in turn was an associate of Bullrich’s sister. Just as Villarroel contradicts herself by presiding over the Senate with a legal connection and portraying herself as a guarantor of the Constitution, in contrast to her father who did not want to recognize it, it is also striking to see the contrast between Bulrich’s current position and that of her first husband and the father of her only son, a mirror of what she was and what the sociologist Marcello Langieri maintains today.
He is a university professor, former Academic Secretary of the Faculty of Sociology at the University of Buenos Aires and Coordinator of the Sociology Field in the Prison Education Program UBA XXII. He strongly opposes Bullrich’s current ideology and even his actions. On November 17, he wrote: “Argentina. From Ramon Falcon to Ford Falcon: The Shame of the Age”He asserts: “The national government, through the initiative of the Ministry of Security, changed the names of the schools for officers and non-commissioned officers of the Federal Police. These name changes are part of the cultural battle launched by the government. In the cadet school, where police officers are trained, the name “Ramon L. Falcon”, and was replaced under Minister Nilda Gary (…) The name of the non-commissioned officers school was also changed in this case to “Alberto Vilar, the evil character, is the ultimate expression of the illegal fight against the popular camp. His illegal repressive actions were symbolized by Green Falcons, the vehicles used by vigilante groups in their repressive actions. Today the government has taken the repressive legacy of Ramón Falcon as a symbol of the heavy fist, and we wonder how to interpret the claim of Villar, the largest representative of the illegal repression of the federal police “even for the institution itself.” Using an unlawful oppressor and executioner as an example constitutes democratic surrender that should shame the government, the minister responsible for the event in question and the institution itself. His violent death does not justify his crimes, and Argentine society has settled this debate by condemning crimes against humanity both criminally and morally. Three shame on the government that once again turns its back on the interests of the Argentine people. “
“The minister responsible for the event in question should be ashamed,” her ex-husband, Patricia Bullrich, wrote.
But she did not stop, she got three more deputies elected by the former Together for Change (Veronica Razzini, Alejandro Bongiovanni and Lorena Petrovic) to join the LLA as part of the Bullrich bloc, which is added to the eight who had already left the PRO party with her, plus the three radicals she had chosen a few days ago (Mariano Campero, Luis Pikat and José Tornier) making a total of 14. With her contribution, the LLA reaches 94 Deputy, threatening to take away the first minority of Peronism.
Patricia Bullrich can’t stop.
