As a consequence of the rebellion, the chief of police in Rosario, who had assumed three months ago, was removed

The police chief of Rosario, Guillermo Solari, has been removed from his position following a police rebellion related to salary demands.

In the aftermath of a police rebellion that created significant unrest in Santa Fe province, the government led by Maximiliano Pullaro has decided to remove Guillermo Solari, the chief of police in Rosario, from his position. Solari had held the role for only three months after being appointed in November, but his short tenure was marked by turbulence, including a rebellion triggered by the suicide of a subordinate officer that highlighted ongoing salary disputes within the police force.

The new appointee, Danilo Villรกn, brings experience from his previous role as the police director general and has recently rejoined the police ranks to oversee security in large events. This leadership change occurs alongside the legal ramifications for the police involved in the upheaval; a local prosecutor is moving forward with charges against ten officers for their roles during the three-day revolt, indicating a substantive response from the government following public unrest.

This incident underscores ongoing tensions in the public sector surrounding pay and officer welfare, reflecting broader social issues tied to police funding and the management of public safety in the face of civil unrest. The government's actions, while aimed at restoring order, also raise questions about accountability and reform within the police system, particularly in light of the recent events that have tested the limits of law enforcement in the region.
