# The security ministry issues an anti-roadblock protocol

Date: 2023

## The fact

In December 2023 [Milei](/people/javier-milei)’s security ministry issued a protocol against roadblocks and pickets, a completed public-order instrument in the first week.

## Context

Neighbouring DNU and 20 December clashes are cousins. Unions sat. He did not sit as every officer.

Devaluation 13 December is neighbouring. Protest clashes 20 December are a child.

The President of Argentina heads the federal executive, issues decrees of necessity and urgency subject to congressional review, and appoints the cabinet. He does not write INDEC prints, an IMF board decision, a [US Treasury](/organizations/us-treasury) backstop, or a Central Bank balance sheet by himself. Congress, governors, the BCRA, and coalition deputies share specific files. Dollarisation announced is not dollarisation completed.

## Evidence and sources

Ministry of Security of Argentina carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is [democratic resilience](/drivers/democratic-resilience): a completed anti-picket protocol is a dated [civic-space](/drivers/civic-space) contraction for street protest.

## What is established and what is not

Established: mid-December 2023 anti-roadblock protocol, independently reported.

Not established: a unique later injury coefficient as a personal tally, or that every later march was this PDF.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

He set the weather. Police implemented. Unions protested.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies The security ministry issues an anti-roadblock protocol, not a later speech about The security ministry issues an anti-roadblock protocol.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. The security ministry issues an anti-roadblock protocol on 2023-12-14 is not a licence to treat every later Ministry of Security of Argentina communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average The security ministry issues an anti-roadblock protocol into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to The security minister issued. He set the weather. Police implemented. Unions protested. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
