It took the Government less than 24 hours to find a replacement for
Omar Yasín in the Ministry of Labor
.
Although it was not made official, in a sign that the dismissal of the official was not due to his alleged error that led to the increase in salaries of Executive officials, in Casa Rosada they confirmed that President Javier Milei leaned towards
labor lawyer Julio Cordero
, who works in the Techint group and is supported by the Chief of Staff, Nicolás Posse.
“
99% it will be Cordero, only details remain for the announcement
,” unobjectionable sources assured
Clarín
, who specified that the announcement will be made by the Minister of Human Capital, Sandra Pettovello, who has the area under her orbit, despite that the lawyer arrives driven by Posse.
If Yasin intended to be an axis of contact with the unions, due to his capacity for dialogue with the CGT,
the election of Cordero is a gesture for the business community
in the midst of the Government's intention to move forward with a labor reform: in addition to his role in Techint, he is currently vice president of the Social Policy department of the Argentine Industrial Union (UIA) and has a very similar vision to that of the President in labor matters.
It was precisely within the framework of the debate that Kirchnerism opened in Congress in September of last year over the reduction of the working day that Cordero's name resonated among union members due to his fierce opposition to the initiative.

This is Omar Yasin, who was caught in the middle of the controversies generated by the salary increases.
“I
limit the day so that I work less, for what?
In other words, it is wrong to work, are we against work?
For what, to go outside to do what?
Of course family life is absolutely important, but this has already been debated internationally.
The limit established by the ILO is 8 hours a day or 48 hours a week,” the lawyer rejected.
Beyond that appearance, Cordero was already seen by union members as a key man in the Labor area due to his arrival at the Chief of Staff and his good harmony with the brain of the megaDNU and the Bases Law, Federico Sturzenegger.
Even, weeks ago, Cordero
participated on behalf of the UIA in the last meeting of the Salary Council
in which union members and businessmen were unable to reach an agreement on the increase in the salary floor that was finally set unilaterally by the Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo. .
Within the framework of that meeting, the future official received an ironic question from Héctor Daer, one of the leaders of the workers' union:
"Who do you represent?" He asked him, alluding to his supposed closeness to the troops. official
.
Cordero's formal arrival is confirmation that
the Government is not seeking to redirect the link with the CGT
but rather to deepen the debate on labor models.
“Yasin's replacement has already been defined, but when the time is right the minister will announce it,” the presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorni, limited himself to saying at the morning press conference.
Both the Chief of Staff and Human Capital take Cordero's appointment as a given, although they chose to wait for its officialization.
Two names with a past in the management of Together for Change were also in action:
Miguel Angel Ponte
, former Secretary of Employment during the management of Mauricio Macri, and
Federico Bellezze
, former Chief of Staff of the Buenos Aires Ministry of Labor under the governorship by María Eugenia Vidal.
However, Cordero's quick definition stated that Yasin's departure had nothing to do with the “error” that generated the increase in the salaries of government officials.
As
Clarín
said , he had “differences of opinion” with Posse, which precipitated his departure and left Pettovello with no room to support him in his position.
“
The decree was an excuse, I already had the ticket cut a while ago
,” they blanched near Milei.
