SANTA CLARA DEL MAR. – The Governor of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof, inaugurated the conference with strong criticism of the national government for cutting the allocation of resources, especially in the security sector “From sun to sun” campaign which will reach the tourist destinations of the province of Buenos Aires, with a focus on the Atlantic Coast, which he expects will involve more than 20,000 uniformed personnel.
From this town in the Mar Chiquita district, 20 kilometers north of Mar del Plata, he announced the deployment of more than 200 patrol cars and 60 new motorcycles for use this summer season.
“With the tools we have, despite that Miley suffocation (Javier), we’ll do it greater efforts with mayors so that the residents of Argentina and Buenos Aires can spend their holidays“He said during this event, which took place on the waterfront, accompanied by part of his cabinet and several community leaders involved in this seasonal tourism dynamic.
As was the case last year, the provincial leadership abandoned the historical custom of presenting this establishment in Mar del Plata and opted for another beach in the area. In December 2024 he chose Miramar and this time he decided Santa Clara del Mar, another destination with the same political color as the Buenos Aires government.
The speeches of his ministers and the Host Mayor Walter WischnivetzkyThey mentioned little about the security problems occurring in these districts and what these months of visitor arrivals could bring. In all cases, like Kicillof, increased criticism of the nation state’s policies because of its adaptation measures.
“Milei, we have to invest money,” said Security Minister Javier Alonso. and warned: “There is no security without investment.” “The national government continues to deprive us of resources”denounced and assured that no more 750,000 million pesos have been sent to the province of Buenos Aires since December 2023. “And they refuse to talk,” he lamented the lack of dialogue with the management of Javier Milei.
It was this officer who was most focused on the situation in the security area. “There are no patrol cars, helicopters, boats and people are leaving federal forces because they are being abandoned by the national government.”described to differ from what is happening in this province, where he assured that resources and means have been invested to equip the police establishment and its personnel.
With a view to the current season, which will see the arrival of the first advances of uniformed reinforcements that will complement the stable staffing of each district, there have been reports of meetings with night cameras and other sectors in an attempt to adapt the work dynamics for crime prevention. In the same spirit, work with areas of the justice system, both prosecutors and judges, was highlighted.
Although no figures were given regarding the resources that will achieve each objective, it was assumed that – as usual – The recent graduates of the province’s police schools will gain their first on-the-ground experience as part of this 2026 edition of the “De Sol a Sol” campaign..
Earlier this month, the ceremony to honor these brand new officers took place in Punta Lara, also in the presence of the governor. There are 2,265 police officers deployed to various locations on the Atlantic coast and other places with tourist traffic.
Kicillof was critical of the economic situation and a context in which, as he assured, there were “record reserves in Brazil and Punta del Este”. “We support tourism and national work for the best possible season” said. Be shortly before Minister of Production, Science and Technology, Augusto Costa, He also highlighted the growth of foreign tourism accused the Milei government of being “a foreign travel agency.”.
In addition to the security operation, which is a constant in every summer season, reinforcements have been announced in operations on routes coordinated by the Ministry of Transport with 65 inspectors in the coastal road corridor.
It also reaches the health sector. Minister Nicolás Kreplak announced the contribution of 11 new ambulances that will be included in this plan and will be permanently allocated to the districts in the region at the end of February.. From this portfolio, 18 health posts, 35 ambulances and a medical helicopter were available for this season.
The strange thing about this opening of the “De Sol a Sol” campaign was the rapid intervention in a traffic accident with the direct participation of leading figures in the provincial cabinet. Ministers Alonso and Kreplak, leaving Santa Clara del Mar and already on a trip to La Plata, personally attended to an injured woman after she got lost in her vehicle on Route 2, right in front of a water park.
