Milei Holds Meetings to Define Government Structure After Registry Transfer Scandal

On Wednesday morning, under sunny skies, the president will hear from his main lieutenants the new scheme defined by Adorni and Santilli, although the latter made it clear that the "positions are not a priority." "I am not concerned with the positions, our task is to resolve and advance with structural reforms, for that we will have a meeting with Manuel and there we will define it," he stated to the accredited press from the White Hall of the Casa Rosada.

The libertarian administration will meet in parallel to the call by the head of PRO, former President Mauricio Macri, with the main leaders of the force he founded, at the beginning of the internal debate to see the role that the party will adopt for the 2027 presidential elections. "If it were up to her, she would empty the ministry," expressed a yellow leader to the Noticias Argentinas agency.

Even, the head of the force in the province of Buenos Aires, Cristian Ritondo, spoke publicly on the issue and demanded the return of the registry to the Interior Ministry. "There are some things that generate doubts in me.

President Javier Milei will head a series of meetings this morning in the midst of the definition of the state organization chart after the changes implemented and announced in the Official Gazette. The head of state summons his closest political group, composed of the closest officials, and then, at 10:30, to expand the exchange to the rest of the members of the Cabinet.

From 9:30, it is expected that the Chief of Staff, Manuel Adorni; the Minister of the Interior, Diego Santilli, who will make his debut in this instance; the Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich; the General Secretary of the Presidency, Karina Milei; the head of the Chamber of Deputies, Martín Menem; and the presidential advisor, Santiago Caputo, will meet.

The new meeting takes place in the framework of the internal debate over the redefinition of the structure formalized in the Official Gazette, which generated controversy and forced the Chief of Staff, Manuel Adorni, and the Minister of the Interior, Diego Santilli, to talk to review and reorder each area.

The truth is that the transfer of the National Registry of Persons (RENAPER), which functioned under the orbit of the Interior Ministry to the Ministry of Security, in an emptying of the portfolio of the former PRO legislator, forced the Executive Branch to reverse the decision.

The range of arguments from Casa Rosada about the event was varied. On the one hand, there were those who attributed the ministerial change to "an error" by the Secretary of Legal and Technical Affairs, María Ibarzabal Murphy, who pressed by the urgency of getting the decree out, included the modification in the letter, while others spoke of a deliberate decision to strip power from the portfolio.

From PRO, they held the Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich, responsible for wanting to concentrate power. "It has Patricia's seal. That body has been and is part of civil use, but it is a discussion that has been around for a long time. For example, the Renaper, and I say it with total honesty."
