The crisis that triggered the hard electoral blow for the government, ended with a strong clash between the president and the vice president, which led to seven changes in the national cabinet, where the Executive Power only added men and triggered a
controversy about gender parity that they will now seek to save with a decree
.
Before Alberto Fernández's trip to La Rioja to meet with the governors of the Frente de Todos in support of the new cabinet, the President met with the Minister of Women, Gender and Diversity, Elizabeth Gómez Alcorta, and spoke of the lack of women in the new cabinet.
In a Twitter thread, the minister revealed the meeting with Alberto Fernández: "The President called me today to a working meeting in which we reaffirm our irrevocable and unavoidable commitment to gender and diversity policies."

Clashes in the new cabinet

Before the Frente de Todos was formed, in March 2019, he spoke out on social media against Governor Manzur for obstructing a legal abortion in that province and denounced him.
Just after the @FtePatriaGrande referents, we denounced Manzur, the Tucumán health authorities and a prosecutor for abuse of authority for obstructing the legal abortion of the girl Lucía, who had been raped.

"Just in the referendums of the Frente Patria Grande we denounced Manzur, the health authorities of Tucumán and a prosecutor for obstructing the legal abortion of the girl Lucía, who had been raped," said Gómez Alcorta against Manzur, before the Frente de Todos will win the elections.
But it was not only a claim on the networks.
Another group of lawyers, among whom was Gómez Alcorta, denounced Governor Juan Manzur, Health officials and also Justice.
The groups maintain that all the rights of the girl raped and forced to be a mother were violated.
In addition, the Fundación Mujeres X Mujeres, Catholics for the Right to Decide Argentina and the Permanent Assembly of Human Rights Tucumán denounced health officials from Tucumán for breach of the duties of public officials.
