Following recent changes in the Cabinet, the Secretary General of the Presidency, Karina Milei, is overseeing other areas that operate under the influence of presidential advisor Santiago Caputo. As confirmed to the Argentine News Agency by at least two sources from her inner circle, the official is 'attentive to all areas' with the intention of expanding her power in the team led by President Javier Milei. 'Some new changes are coming. This is in addition to her ownership of the party apparatus.' Meanwhile, Caputo maintains control over Health and several areas of the Economy. Juan Bautista Mahiques and Santiago Viola have been appointed there, two officials who report to him through the Menem cousins. In this way, within a reconfigured power scheme, she gains marked influence in four of the nine ministries: Defense, Security, Justice, and the Interior. 'She is now attentive to all areas,' they affirm. The Adorni effect: the focus is on the Airport Security Police Although there is no certainty about the next steps, her circle guarantees new movements in the near future. This stance is not in tune with what is observed in the Salón Martín Fierro, where they assure that, despite the advance in Justice, they do not expect new attacks. 'Happy are those who expect nothing, for they will never be disappointed,' a voice from the ecosystem quipped when asked by NA. Next Tuesday, the advisor and the official could face each other after the reconfiguration of the power map in the offices of the Ministry of the Interior during the first meeting of the inner circle since the changes in Justice and the controversy with the Chief of Staff, Manuel Adorni, where suspicions of 'setting up a friend' in the leak are flying. This point is met with resistance from those accused, who blame the Airport Security Police, where, — they whisper in the corridors of Balcarce 50, — former presidential candidate Sergio Massa maintains influence. The government backed Adorni after the controversy over bringing his wife on the presidential plane. Despite the controversy, the Cabinet almost completely expressed its support for Manuel Adorni, rallying behind the figure of Karina Milei, one of the first to use her X account. The president and the advisor did the same. With the advance in Justice, those close to the consultant clarify that the dynamics are the same as always and that the Iron Triangle was born with an error: 'the belief that all sides are equal.' Buenos Aires, March 14 (NA) – After the summer recess, old internal tensions surfaced in the Iron Triangle. In very good tune with Luis Caputo, the minister is defined by his own as one of the 'independents.' On a third tier are the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Worship, and International Trade, led by Pablo Quirno, close to Karina Milei but in balance with Caputo; Human Capital in charge of Sandra Pettovello; and Deregulation and State Transformation led by Federico Sturzenegger with a direct link to the president. In the Karinismo faction, they warn that the leader of this space monitors the functioning of ARCA, whose executive director Andrés Vázquez reports to the advisor, but also placed special focus on various secretariats under the orbit of the Treasury Palace. 'There are people who don't understand how power works,' a member of the libertarian administration stated without direct mention. With the departure of Mariano Cúneo Libarón and Sebastián Amerio – the consultant's chess piece – from the Ministry of Justice, the head of La Libertad Avanza added dominance in areas. 'It has always been an inverted triangle.'
Karina Milei Expands Her Influence in the Argentine Government
Recent cabinet reshuffles in Argentina have led to an increase in the influence of the President's Secretary General, Karina Milei. She has taken control of four key ministries, while her political rival, advisor Santiago Caputo, retains power in the economic and health sectors. The internal power struggle within the 'Iron Triangle' is intensifying.
