The president's administration is preparing to replace the Attorney General of the Treasury, Rodolfo Barra, who has been absent from the country for much of his term, raising doubts about his commitment. The tension between Barra and the Casa Rosada has intensified following the dismissal of Ignacio Yacobucci from the UIF for not following government directives.
Additionally, Barra's constant trips abroad are being questioned, and there is speculation about his possible residency outside the country. Former judge Ricardo Rojas, who is close to the president, is mentioned as a possible successor. Although the final decision rests with the president, official sources suggest that Barra may be asked to resign.
Barra's environment denies the accusations against him, labeling them as "operations." The administration seeks to ensure that all officials align with presidential policies. It is expected that the situation will be resolved soon, marking a new chapter in Milei's cabinet restructuring.
Criticism of Barra has intensified following a ruling that supported the cut of a salary incentive for an employee of the Ministry of Justice. In this context, Barra has been called for a decisive meeting on Monday at the Casa Rosada.
Although the ruling defended the Government's position, it has been interpreted from the Casa Rosada as a challenge to the government's management. Barra is expected to refrain from making statements until after the meeting with the Executive.
