Buenos Aires Province Governor María Eugenia Vidal received two death threats in 24 hours — the first on Sunday and the second on Monday night — via phone. These developments comes in a context of heightened government security surrounding public officials as several important politicians have received death threats in the last month. According to the provincial Ministry of Security, both phone calls were made to 911 and left as messages for Vidal. However, neither Vidal nor her ex husband Ramiro Tagliaferro (mayor of Morón, also in Buenos Aires province) have not lived in that house for weeks: she moved to the Palomar Air Base with her three children for security reasons. María Eugenia Vidal is the first woman and non-Peronist to hold the governor’s office of Buenos Aires Province since 1987.
