He began the withdrawal of the Federal underground and warn that "there is no ability to protect the users"

Start today the withdrawal of the Federal Police custody of subway service in the city. At least it will progressively exit to complete the first day of next month.

Only 40 Division agents today Underground tasks and will be "allocated to strengthen the train operating Alert, a new surveillance system platforms, railway terminals and buses with video cameras of high resolution," the ministry said in a statement Security days earlier.

At a press conference, Buenos Aires Security Minister, Guillermo Montenegro crossed pair of nation as: "We have the operational capacity to protect the entire subway system. There was a good decision."

Earlier, a statement of the National Security portfolio, Garre said that the safety net of the Federal metro currently has 250 troops.

"This is a unilateral decision by the national government, which decided to withdraw the Federal Police without first consulting us and that generates additional complexity in the security work to neighbors," said Montenegro.

The withdrawal of the Federal underground, in principle, would be complete as of today, but a city government called an "extension for organizing" was accepted by Nilda Garre portfolio.

"IT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR THE METROPOLITAN TO ENSURE SECURITY IN SUBWAYS"

He said the Deputy Chief of Government of Buenos Aires, Maria Eugenia Vidal, in the same press conference where he spoke Guillermo Montenegro. "The Metropolitan Police is a force in training" and, therefore, is "very difficult today to ensure security in the subways," he said.

Meanwhile, Montenegro said: "It would be folly to suggest that the Metropolitan Police, in less than two and half years of existence and 3,000 troops to take over everything today raises the Minister Nilda Garre," said Montenegro, a press conference at the Center for Coordination and Control One of the Metropolitan Police in Chacarita.

Montenegro, who was speaking at the end of the cabinet meeting Buenos Aires, said his ministry does not have "operational capacity" to put "between 550 and 670 effective" in the Metropolitan Police in the 70 subway stations. "

Maria Eugenia Vidal also added that the national government's decision was "unilateral", in the context of "a subway transfer process has not yet completed" and that "should be orderly."

On this decision, Montenegro said that "if the purpose of this decision would have been to bring more police on the street, would not have been this way, since only 40 Federal Police officers now meet on the subway ordinary tasks, while the remaining 250 were in the street and provide different services, and in overtime were in the subway. "

According to Montenegro, safety in the subways could have been raised for a time shared basis, with different tools, such as cameras, non-police personnel, and civilian police.

"Keep in mind that the Federal Police has 30,000 troops, and the Metropolitan Police 3,000. It makes sense that security had been for some time is proportional," he said
