In the early hours of Tuesday, Argentina's Security Minister Alejandra Monteoliva was in communication with Governor Maximiliano Pullaro and provincial counterpart Pablo Cococcioni as tensions rose due to an active conflict with the Santa Fe Provincial Police. This situation is concerning due to a potential 'domino effect' as protests involve active, retired police officers, and their families gathering in front of the Regional Unit II in Rosario. Since strikes are illegal for police forces in Argentina, the government is pressed to find a resolution quickly.

The ongoing protests highlight growing frustrations within the police force, which feel neglected amid issues of security and welfare. The presence of federal forces being deployed to Santa Fe aims to restore order and address the concerns of the police, who are demanding better working conditions and support from the government. Monteoliva's proactive approach in reaching out to provincial leaders indicates the urgency of resolving this conflict and restoring peace in the city.

Local authorities fear that if the situation escalates further, it could lead to widespread unrest and mirror other protests across Argentina. Therefore, the government is focused on finding a balance between addressing police grievances and maintaining public safety, critical for the stability of Rosario and the surrounding areas.
