The spokesperson began his usual appearance by expressing the “solidarity” of Javier Milei's Executive “with the Government and citizens of Ecuador in light of the acts of violence that occurred yesterday,” and added that both the Foreign Ministry and the Argentine Consulate in that country “they are making all the resources available.”
Adorni recalled that, for the Milei Government, “it is urgent to confront organized crime with the full weight of the law,” since “these acts of violence clearly do not escape” the reality of Argentina.
“In Argentina alone in Rosario (province of Santa Fe) there are 22 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants, 66% more than four years ago and, until now, half of those that Ecuador has today,” said the spokesperson in reference to the city currently most punished by violence associated with drug trafficking in the country.

Late on Tuesday, Argentina issued a statement from its Foreign Ministry expressing its “firm support” to the authorities and people of Ecuador in their “fight against the actions of organized crime that seeks to undermine the rule of law.”
Furthermore, the Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich, took advantage of an interview given to the TN channel to offer to send “security forces, if necessary, to help Ecuador because this is a continental issue,” considering that the events that occurred in neighboring countries can move to Argentina.
