Mariano Cúneo Libarona broke his silence to confirm that he will remain as head of the Ministry of Justice, driven by a personal request from the President and his sister after contemplating retirement in December. The official made it clear that his stay is due to an ethical and professional commitment, stating, "I came for the bronze, for the love of justice" and that his motivation is to leave a legacy of legal order. In an interview with Splendid AM 990, the minister dismissed press operations suggesting his departure and focused on defending his structural projects, ensuring that "Javier always supports me; every time there was a leak, he came out to back me because he knows I am in delicate matters". Regarding the controversial project to lower the age of criminal responsibility, the minister was blunt in stating that the social reality of 2026 forces an urgent normative update. "If you repeal femicide, 130 people immediately regain their freedom; that is not going to happen."
