Salaries and ideas that shoot gases and rubber bullets What is happening within the security forces?

“Do you ask me why people on motorcycles or behind shields kill, throw gas and rubber bullets?” he repeats first page 12 A chief of the federal police. “First of all, because they know that, if they do not do it, they will have to leave the force. The pillion rider on a motorcycle earns, at a minimum, 584,322 pesos, plus extras for risk, seniority and extra hours. Not less than 700 thousand or 800 thousand pesos per month, Good salary for them. But, apart from this – says the boss-, seven out of ten voted for Javier Miley and they are in line with that go against the leftists, Yes actually, One section now states that Miley should be removed because he became Jewish..” In the Gendarmerie, something similar is repeated, although with a different profile. Behind the shield is usually an alférez or subalférez who earns between 550,192 and 605,212 basic, to which an additional 200 thousand pesos are added. In the feds it is said that the most rustic, most quarrelsome and authoritarian soldiers go into these special forces.

preparation for conflict

Both in the security ministry led by Patricia Bullrich and in the forces themselves, there is an atmosphere that is a mix of uncertainty and bravado: He believes that there will be strong social conflict not only in CABA, but in various places in the country, And there is no dearth of people who feel a certain pleasure at the idea of ​​being hit with shock, friction, tonfa (stick), batons, gas or rubber bullets.

The Mounted Police was replaced by the Federal Motor Operations Group (GOMF). This change was made during the time of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner because the conflicts posed a risk to people and horses as well.

“The people who are in that unit have different profiles,” says another federal chief. First of all, they are motorcycle fans. But, They like fighting, gym, tonfa and handling gases and rubber bullets, They don’t even remotely have the profile of people who want to go into research or science. Some people say that they are the most brutal in federal and also that the people who are sanctioned go into those bodies.

Left-handed people, Jews and the epidemic

According to all, in these units, the motorized units and the infantry, there is much harmony with the “order” proposals of the Miley government, it has been added Hatred of leftism and social movements. and antisemitism, They talk about the Andinia Plan (a bizarre theory according to which the Jews want to keep Patagonia), and of course, that the Jews are the real power in the world. That fringe group – estimated to be two in ten – is already angry and says Miley should be removed because he happened to be Jewish and you can’t be president if you’re of that religion. As is known, the requirement was changed in the constitutional reform of 1994.

The second point of agreement with La Libertad Avanza is no less surprising: a large part of these soldiers believe that “The pandemic thing was a big lie”A manipulation, also of “leftists and Jews”.

“Don’t tax me”

It was no coincidence that one of the officers, Inspector or Sub-Inspector, of the Federal Police who repressed the Congress, libertarian symbol A kind of patch on the chest, over a bulletproof jacket. Gadsden flag, yellow background, with a snake in the middle, used by right-wingers in many countries and with the legend “Don’t step on me”, “Don’t step on me”, interpreted as “Don’t” “Tax me” is one of his great slogans.

According to what they say at Federal, it was a removed against own cash leftist, No concrete action with the boss in charge. But the results – a summary, the minister said – are not known. What corresponded was to make the person available – party symbols are prohibited – and begin a summary, but that was not what Bullrich reported. He clearly toned down his tone: he did not want to make any gesture that smacked of repression and could be interpreted as approval for those who attack people.

rods for silver

An inspector or sub-inspector usually operates on a motorcycle, with a basic salary ranging from 584,322 to 642,754 pesos, but sergeants also participate in the operation, with a basic salary of 713,998 pesos. Risk, seniority and what will be overtime have also been added to these figures. In one long day, the total number of soldiers spent was between 20 thousand and 35 thousand pesos, as the Congress experienced. In short, almost no one takes less than 700 thousand pesos and many figure above 800 or 900 thousand pesos per month. The regime is 12 hours of work-training on the motorcycle and in the gym – followed by 36 hours of rest. In charge of the operation, there is usually a commissioner or a deputy commissioner: monthly income depends on seniority, but is around 1,500,000 pesos. The high command, i.e. those who have decision-making power, numbers about 3,000,000 per month, despite the fact that they do not have much seniority: the Meili government carried out a fierce raid, retiring 18 general commissioners with more experience. Gave. Less humility about what’s coming. He Sin What he was convicted of was Associate With the previous government, that is, they maintained normal, correct relations with the constitutional government.

hard green

As it is known, those who enter Gendarmerie They are mainly from the provinces and sometimes from small inland towns. It is believed that they are soldiers trained to guard the borders, i.e. places away from big cities. Therefore, there is no ideological process similar to that of the Federalists, nor do they value repression in itself: what is more, some are concerned about not getting caught in a judicial case. But non-ideology makes them more polite and is considered as “They keep everything in the bank”, It is a force privileged by Bullrich, who usually uses it for the most thorny and grueling missions. The clearest example of this was the harassment that ended someone’s life santiago maldonado or fraud expert opinion which was done in connection with the suicide Alberto Nisman,

Its origins in inland towns and non-ideological profile make it Gendarmes assess urban repression units, Essentially because they allow them to live in big cities or near big cities. One of the myths (or truths) about this force is that Lingams usually have one family in their town or city of origin and another family in the areas where they serve. It should be remembered that under the CFK governments, gendarmes began to be employed for security tasks in the struggling neighborhoods of Greater Buenos Aires and Greater Rosario. The myth of two (or three) families began at that time.

a lot of money

But the other attraction is in the salary, which are similar to federal. Alferez or subalferez, who make up a good part of those behind the shield in Daman, have a basic salary ranging from 550,192 pesos to 605,212, but with additional salaries for risk, seniority and. service tax -When they are in front of a demonstration all day – they can collect a figure of more than 800 thousand or 900 thousand pesos per month. A service tax More than 5 hours, like last week, adds 13,433 pesos to their earnings at the end of the month. The head of operations added 20,130, although his salary is 1,200,000 pesos.

The most attractive thing for the gendarme is what they call neighborhood prevention event, i.e., patrolling complex neighborhoods. To his salary, an ensign adds 267,967 pesos, bringing him closer to one million pesos. The second myth that is commonly circulated is that sex workers do less business Compared to the police – federal or Buenos Aires or Santa Fe or Cordoba – their neighborhood prevention services will therefore be more efficient. The businesses talked about are always the same: prostitution, quackery, gambling, debauchery and, in the worst cases, links to drugs.

In province and in the Airport Security Police (PSA) There are also infantry groups, albeit smaller. In the latest protests, prefects were seen on the Pueyredon Bridge, while PSA agents, through the Airport Infantry Group, were involved in repression in the area around Congress. In general, they are bodies that their partners define as: “It’s a cruel place”,

Increase in January and beyond

The increase in January was 16 per cent, as it reportedly followed the increase of UPCN, one of the state associations. Of course, with the rise in prices in December and January, they remained at huge losses against inflation, And the outlook is that this will continue.

However, the rumor they have sent to the troops is that they are going to compensate them with additional compensation, which will reportedly increase. And the soldiers believe that rumor. They know the situation is becoming increasingly heated and Miley-Bullrich won’t want to risk it. Perhaps you remember in government that the biggest conflict in recent years between security forces, gendarmes and prefects was in 2012 over salary issues. They came to occupy the central buildings, the Sentinel and the Coast Guard, barricaded themselves in and created alarm throughout the society. Of course, at that time the CFK ruled and led the opposition far right characters, with coverage from major media. Now, those far-right figures play tunes in the Casa Rosada. it is different.
