If the requirement to pass is to have a favorable image balance, only 1 of the
12 key officials of
Javier Milei
's Cabinet
measured in a
new national survey
managed to get rid of it .
On the other hand, if his numbers are compared with those of his predecessors from Unión por la Patria, the balance is positive.
The
University of San Andrés (Udesa)
was in charge of passing through the filter of public opinion the Chief of Staff
Nicolás Posse
, the ministers
Luis Caputo
(Economy),
Diana Mondino
(Foreign Relations),
Guillermo Francos
(Interior),
Sandra Pettovello
(Human Capital),
Mariano Cúneo Libarona
(Justice),
Patricia Bullrich
(Security),
Guillermo Ferraro
(Infrastructure) and
Mario Russo
(Health), plus secretaries
Karina Milei
and
Manuel Adorni
, and economic advisor
Federico Sturzenegger
.
The study house conducted a survey of
1,007 cases
throughout the country, between January 9 and 16, and presented the results with +/- 3.15% margin of error.
Like other consulting firms, it is linked to the month in office that the new administration completed.
Clarín ordered the table according to the image differential, the number that results from subtracting the positive image from the negative one. Only one of the 12 officials managed to get that figure in favor. In reality it was one: Chancellor Mondino.
The 6 best
The person in charge of Foreign Relations is
commendable inside and outside the Cabinet
.
As this newspaper has been saying, for months, or actually years, the majority of politicians have had more rejection than support.
Mondino manages to get away with just enough: he has 30 positive points and 29 negative points. Like his other colleagues who recently took over, they maintain a high level of ignorance. When
Udesa
asked about his figure, 41% did not know what to say or did not know him.
Below the chancellor, with a balance of
-1 ,
Bullrich
appears
.
The thing about the Minister of Security is different.
The "ns/nc" of it is the lowest of all and the only one in single digits: 9%.
Among those who do evaluate it, a crack forms:
45% see it well and 46% see it badly
.
The same balance of
-1
has the spokesperson
Adorni
.
But in his case, even though he gives a daily press conference, his "ns/nc" is still as high as Mondino's.
His image numbers, meanwhile, were
+29% and -30%
.
Then, with
-2
points balance, comes one of the main negotiators of the Omnibus Law, Minister of the Interior
Francos
.
With a very high "ns/nc" (54%), it combines
22% positive and 24% negative
.
Then there are
four officials with - 4
balance.
As a matter of order, prioritizing their positive image, two were among "the best" and two among "the worst."
The beneficiaries were
Cúneo Libarona
, with
+ 28% and - 32%
(40% "ns/nc", despite having been a very media lawyer for years) and
Pettovello
, with
+ 22% and - 26%
.
The 6 worst
The bottom part of the table
can be divided into two
.
Those who have a negative balance of only one digit and the two economists who already show a higher negative balance.
The worst of the worst are
Sturzenegger
, Milei's advisor and DNU brain of economic deregulation;
and
Caputo
, Minister of an Economy that started with an inflation of 25%.
A precedent unites them: both were in charge of the Central Bank during the Government of Mauricio Macri.
Sturzenegger
finished with
-16 points balance
, with
23% positive and 39% negative
(38% "ns/nc").
Caputo
, meanwhile, had
a balance of -18
, with
+30% and -48%
, plus 22% of "ns/nc".
