In his X account, the journalist Beto Valdez reported on the discomfort of some residents of the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Belgrano due to the excessively increased presence of guards and security personnel. The radio communicator referred in detail to the confusion of the inhabitants of the intersection of José Hernández and Arcos, in the heart of Barrancas de Belgrano, where the presidential advisor resides. Santiago Caputo.
“On that corner, the surveillance pattern generates persistent discomfort, the neighbors say. They complain about the appearance of unmarked civilian cell phones supposedly belonging to the Federal Police and other security forces, which remain parked in double rows, block access to garages and cause traffic jams in arteries that already have a high traffic flow,” Valdez highlighted.
In a block where both the libertarian consultant and the treasurer coexist Pablo Toviggino of the AFA and the former Kirchnerist official Roberto Barattaneighbors are susceptible to these movements. “On the one hand, some neighbors confess to feeling relief and tranquility, arguing that the massive deployment shielded the blocks from common insecurity. On the other, the indignation of many owners is growing who consider such a display of logistical privileges unacceptable in the midst of a severe economic adjustment,” the journalist explained in his tweet.
Long before his landing on the front line of government policy, the presidential advisor admitted a marked fascination with the world of intelligence, strategy and issues related to security. For some time now, the libertarian consultant has tended to show interest in stories related to espionage operations, geopolitical conflicts and criminal codes, an inclination that is also reflected in the aesthetics and cultural references that usually surround his public figure.
On the other hand, among the best-known aspects of his personal life is his love of firearms and shooting practice. In recent years, various audiovisual records have circulated in which he can be observed training at shooting ranges. The activity was publicly confirmed by instructors who noted that Caputo took classes regularly and developed a sustained interest in training in the responsible use of weapons.
The images spread on social networks and the media showed the presidential advisor carrying out precision practices and dynamic exercises, an unusual activity among high-profile officials and which contributed to reinforcing the reserved and enigmatic image that he usually projects. That combination of interest in the world of espionage, shooting practice and popular culture linked to streaming series, such as Peaky Blinders, fueled a good part of the political myth built around who became one of the most influential men within Casa Rosada.
