Carlos Pirovano
is, to date, the name that sounds the strongest for the presidency of the
National Institute of Cinema and Audiovisual Arts (Incaa
).
According to unobjectionable sources consulted by
Clarín Cultura
, the liberal leader would have already met with the Secretary of Culture of the Nation,
Leonardo Cifelli
, and would have accepted the position.
The name of the leader was also reported by a cable from the Télam agency.
It should be noted that in the Cifelli area, several of the officials that the secretary appointed in December 2023 are still on the
waiting list
and continue to work without an appointment decree.
Will it be strategy or bureaucracy?
The question is valid in light of what happened with
Javier Torre
, announced and un-announced as president of the
National Arts Fund
by the Secretary of Culture himself.
However, at halftime - as in the
Super Bowl
-, engineer
Jorge Keczeli
was named "interim manager in charge" of
Incaa
, a
headless institution since December 10.
In the immediate future, Incaa requires the signature of a official to make current payments and transfer funds already granted to film producers, suppliers and for festivals.
According to the Cine Argentino Unidos collective, as Télam slogan, in a meeting they held with the Undersecretary of Management and Cultural Development of the Ministry of Culture, Ignacio Lupi, the name of the economist Carlos Pirovano emerged to preside over the Incaa.
Despite the fact that the Ministry of Culture is silent, C
larín Cultura
learned that Cifelli indeed offered the position to Pirovano.
Unobjectionable sources from the Apertura Republicana group did not respond to this media's query.
From that portfolio they told Télam that Pirovano is one of the names being considered, although
it has not been made official.
The leader of
Apertura Republicana
is currently in charge of the
Productivity and Competitiveness Observatory of the Caece University
, according to his Linkedin page.
He is
an economist
, university
professor
specialized in microeconomics, finance and strategic planning and was
vice president of Banco BICE
(Investment and Foreign Trade Bank).
He was also Undersecretary of Investments during
Mauricio Macri
's two terms
as head of government of the City of Buenos Aires.
Halftime like the Super Bowl
Meanwhile, by decree 166/2024 published this Wednesday, February 21 in the Official Gazette, Keczeli will work
“ad honorem”
, as he is secretary of Legal and Administrative Coordination of the super Ministry of Human Capital that, with an iron fist, is led by Sandra Pettovello.
What the decree makes clear is that the interim official will remain in the Incaa until the appointment of the president of the organization.
Incaa sources told
Clarín Cultura
that Keczeli was appointed “mainly
to sign budgetary issues such as salary payments and debt payments,”
which is reasonable after three months of acephaly in the organization.
The decree signed by President Javier Milei and Minister Pettovello states that “until the vacant positions are filled, it is necessary to ensure the continuity and efficiency of the minimum and essential services and compliance with the legal obligations in charge of the aforementioned National Institute.” .
And he emphasizes that “the measure does not generate additional budget expenditure to the National State.”
