Rosario, the birthplace of Argentine football star Lionel Messi, has been hit by a wave of violence. Several drug gangs fight for power. Since the beginning of this year, 64 people have already been killed.
The Argentine government then decided to increase the number of federal police officers in the city. The Army Corps of Engineers is also deployed to refurbish poor neighborhoods. “It is necessary to clean up the neighborhoods,” says Fernandez. “We will make the investments that are necessary. We cannot stand still.”
