Highlights: After firing Giordano and Royón, Milei keeps three Cordobans and defines key positions. He is the head of Banco Nación, the secretary of Transportation and the Secretary of Public Works. They had been targeted by the fall of the Omnibus law. Now, attention is focused on the positions that could be filled based on the agreement that Milei negotiates with Mauricio Macri and that could include cabinet changes, in addition to a new interblock.


He is the head of Banco Nación, the secretary of Transportation and the Secretary of Public Works. They had been targeted by the fall of the Omnibus law. Tug of war with Macri over vacant positions.


Despite the open war with the governors over funds,

the Government will for now maintain in office the three Cordoban officials

who were left standing after the

abrupt departure

of the head of the ANSES, Osvaldo Giordano, and the Secretary of Mining, Flavia Royón. , in a rebuke to the provinces for blocking the omnibus law in Congress.

The

survivors

are the head of

Banco Nación, Daniel Tillard

, the

Secretary of Transportation, Franco Mogetta, and the Secretary of Public Works, Luis Enrique Giovine

.

Some of them, like Giordano, joined the libertarian administration as part of the agreement hatched with the governor of Cordoba,

Martín Llaryora

, who was targeted for his "betrayal" in the vote on the Omnibus law.

Tillard's case is different.

The former head of the Bank of Córdoba joined Banco Nación due to his

historical connection

with the Minister of the Interior,

Guillermo Francos

.

The man from Córdoba entered Banco Provincia under the presidency of the second during the management of Daniel Scioli.

He has the support of the Association of Public and Private Banks (Abappra), which formalized him as its president.

Mogetta is another whose position is under evaluation, although "it remains firm," according to some official sources.

The Ministry of Transportation came

under the orbit of Luis Caputo

after the beheading of the Ministry of Infrastructure and the resignation of Guillermo Ferraro.

Since then, the Minister of Economy jealously monitors all the measures of his dependent and

even signs the statements

.

With a budget of $1.8 billion,

Transportation is an area desired by subsidies

and agitated by adjustment.

Last week Mogetta raised bus and train fares by 250% and was left in the middle of the fight with the governors.

Caputo decided to hit them last week with a $102 billion cut in transportation subsidies

, forcing them to use their own funds

or raise the fare above $1,100.

The third Cordoban who resists Milei's fury is Giovine, another official close to Llaryora and former governor Juan Schiaretti.

The former president of the province's Provincial Electrical Energy Company (EPEC) came recommended by Fabián López, a former official from Julio De Vido's administration who today occupies the Cordoba president's cabinet.

Meanwhile,

the departure of Giordano and Royón is read as a punishment for Córdoba and Salta.

The former's wife is the national representative

Alejandra Torres,

who

voted against several sections

of the omnibus law.

The same thing happened with several legislators who respond to the governor of Salta, Gustavo Sáenz, from whose kidney Royón came.

"Milei became heated because of the vote," they said near a governor.

Now, attention is focused on the positions that could be filled based on the

agreement that Milei negotiates with Mauricio Macri

and that could include cabinet changes, in addition to a new interblock.

Not only is there rumors

of the possibility that María Eugenia Vidal will land in ANSES

, but also that a

man from the PRO will occupy the vacant position left by Ferraro

in Infrastructure.

The initial idea was to dissolve that ministry after passing the "irons" to Caputo and the state companies to the Chief of Staff, Nicolás Posse.

But in the last few hours a new scheme began to be evaluated.

"They are

waiting for a veto to be unblocked,"

said official sources, referring to Macri's former Transportation Minister,

Guillermo Dietrich.
