The Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich, stated that the police forces "will act again and again when they start throwing stones" as maintaining "order" is prioritized. She defended this policy in the Chamber of Deputies in response to social protests. In response to the criticism from left-wing deputy Cristian Castillo, Bullrich highlighted the policy on protests and the measures to prevent the blocking of streets by social and union organizations. "We will act again and again when they start throwing stones," she emphasized, noting that the goal is "to maintain order." In this sense, Bullrich added: "The pickets are over. We guarantee the right to circulate with prevention and control operations for marches, pickets, and demonstrations, prioritizing the balance between freedom of expression and respect for the right of the rest of the citizens to travel freely."
