After she received multiple death threats and found a rifle shell in her home’s garage, Governor María Eugenia Vidal today publicly stated that she will continue her work in Buenos Aires Province, including fighting police corruption. The National Security Ministry has maintained that the threats are politically motivated and according to the provincial Security Minister, Gustavo Ferrari, the death threats made against Vidal are “because of the governor’s decision to fight against corruption and the mafia.”However, Vidal has not shown any signs that the threats have affected her. Macri also tweeted his support for Vidal along the same lines: “We support [Vidal] in her work towards progress in Buenos Aires province. They will not stop us.” “Acompañamos a @mariuvidal en su tarea de sacar adelante la provincia de Buenos Aires. Despite Vidal brushing off the death threats, security around the governor may have to tighten even more, especially since this is not the first time that Vidal has been the victim of a security lapse.
