Tensions in the Casa Rosada over the situation of Barra

The Attorney General, Rodolfo Barra, will visit the Casa Rosada to meet with presidential advisor, Santiago Caputo. Barra holds a doctorate in history and has held positions such as secretary of the Supreme Court and judge in Criminal matters in Buenos Aires. Amid rumors about his future as head of the Government's lawyers, there are various questions regarding him.

He is accused of having issued an opinion against the will of the Government and of having his residence outside the country. It is rumored that he may have favored an employee of the Ministry of Justice in a case involving a cut in salary incentives. According to sources at the Casa Rosada, it is striking that one of his opinions does not benefit the Government.

Given this uncertain scenario, the possibility of Barra being replaced is being considered. The name being rumored to take his place is that of lawyer Ricardo Rojas, author of "Inflation as a Crime." The meeting between Barra and Caputo will take place next Monday, where the future of the Attorney General and his role in the Government may be clarified.
