DA SILVA-LORENZ, Mariana  and  GALVANI, Mariana. Tensions and Discontents Regarding the Transfer of the Policía Federal Argentina. CS [online]. 2020, n.31, pp.269-295. ISSN 2011-0324.  https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.i31.3731.

The Policía de la Ciudad (PC) was created during 2016 in Argentina in order to enforce order in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. Since 1943, and unto that moment, that role was played by the Policía Federal Argentina (PFA), except for some jurisdictions that were patrolled by the Policía Metropolitana created in 2008. This implied the transfer of agents and real estate from one law enforcement agency to the other. This paper deals with the transfer of part of the PFA to the PC. The focus is on the ways some ex-members of the PFA transferred to this new police agency demonstrated their displeasure with the situation. Here are described different ways these agents used to voice their discontent which went from gathering in the street, stop working or sending messages through social media to oppose. These protests are a turning point in the tradition of the PFA.
