On Tuesday, a sector of the Santa Fe police staged a sit-in following an organized protest for salary increases outside the police headquarters in Rosario. Esteban Santantino, the Secretary of Criminal Analysis in Rosario, spoke to LN+ regarding the legal limits regarding such protests and highlighted the involvement of twenty police officers in a revolt. He emphasized that no security forces member should rebel against constitutional powers.

Santanino claimed that some active police officers were identified among the protesters, wearing masks and trying to blend in with the crowd, which originally had a different tone. According to him, these infiltrated officers are linked to factions of the older police force that were removed from their positions; many of these individuals are currently detained. This allegation raises serious concerns about the disciplinary and operational integrity of the police force during protests.

The situation reflects a deeper issue within the Santa Fe police, where financial grievances for salary adjustments are leading to internal conflicts. As discussions on police reform continue, incidents like this highlight the lack of cohesion among law enforcement and the impact of fiscal pressures on their conduct. The ramifications of such infiltrations could jeopardize public trust in both the police force and the government's ability to manage protests effectively, necessitating immediate attention from government officials.
