Argentina: Government sends police agents to doors of public media

“Everything indicates that strong changes are coming in public media, where the Government [of Argentina] has not yet appointed any official since President Javier Milei took office. The signal that gave the warning of these changes was the strong police presence stationed by the Government at the door of Radio Nacional, Télam and TV Pública, with trucks, motorcycles and agents of the Federal Police for several hours this Monday [Jan. 15] and Tuesday [Jan. 16].

In fact, on Tuesday there were two Federal Police agents who wanted to remain in custody inside the Télam headquarters building, on Bolívar Street, where the officials are, along with the administrative employees and those who deal with the digital platforms of the news agency. 'They prohibited the two police officers from entering unless they had a written order to be inside the building, so they stayed outside all Tuesday,' a Télam source told Clarín. And it added: 'This Wednesday [Jan. 17] they also came and stayed outside, because they never brought the written order to be inside the building.'”
