Alejandra Monteoliva will be the new Minister of Security, replacing Patricia Bullrich on December 10th. Monteoliva, a native of Córdoba province, is known for her role during the 2013 police strike that led to chaos, looting, and violence. She has held various positions in security, including National Director of Criminal Information Management and Director of Federal Operations from 2015 to 2020. Monteoliva also worked as a security consultant in Honduras and El Salvador, participating in the creation and implementation of the 'Bukele model'. She holds a master's degree in Planning and Regional Development and is a researcher-lecturer at several Latin American universities. Last year, she defended the police for using pepper spray on a 10-year-old girl and her mother during a peaceful protest. Monteoliva is a disciple of General Óscar Naranjo and has experience in Colombia. She will replace Patricia Bullrich, who is leaving for the Senate. 'I know your journey, your professionalism, and that dedication that defines you,' said Bullrich.
