Following the Security Ministry’s decision to improve the security of President Mauricio Macri, additional measures are being taken to protect the Casa Rosada and other officials, as threats to their safety continue to be a regular occurrence. Everyone who arrived at the Casa Rosada after the long weekend — yes, even high-ranking officials — found that security procedures to enter the Casa Rosada had changed. This new procedure is a response to a bomb threat the Casa Rosada received last Friday. Other threats also arrived via social media, leading to two men being arrested last month for making threats in the name of ISIS. El Espectador also reports that former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner has received threats as well.
