Amid rumors of departure, the Casa Rosada summoned the current Attorney General, Rodolfo Barra, to discuss his uncertain future in the position. According to a source from Noticias Argentinas, concerns have been raised about Barra not residing in Argentina, but abroad, and spending a significant amount of time traveling to Punta del Este. Some alarms were triggered after a ruling was issued against the premises of the libertarian government, which favored an employee of the Ministry of Justice.
Prior to the meeting between Santiago Caputo and Rodolfo Barra, it is considered that the attorney general has not been as assertive as expected from the state's lawyer. It is highlighted that Barra does not live in the country and has issued rulings that go against government policies, which generates concern in the Casa Rosada. President Javier Mileino is aware of the situation, and his reaction is awaited upon his return from a tour of the United States and Switzerland.
In the event of Barra's departure, the name of Ricardo Rojas, a lawyer and Doctor of Economic History, is being considered as a possible replacement. Rojas has held relevant positions in the judicial field and has an extensive academic background. His profile is noted to align with government policies and his experience in economic and legal matters.
The Treasury Directorate, as an autonomous body, has been embroiled in controversies due to the alleged lack of assertiveness of Barra as the state's lawyer and his residence abroad. Mariano Cúneo Libarona, the minister in charge, has made it clear that he will not endorse incentives within the framework of the ministerial adjustment, which has led to the marginalization of other officials in the past. Barra, who has the admiration of the president and a ten-year relationship, finds himself in a delicate situation amid internal criticisms and questioning within the government.
