The virtual incorporation of
Techint lawyer
Julio Cordero
as the new Secretary of Labor after the controversial TV dismissal of Omar Yasín deepened the closeness of the business group to a government that also knew how to draw on former executives of Corporación
América
, as is the case of himself.
Javier Milei.
The head of the legal team of the group chaired by
Paolo Rocca
had been serving as an ad honorem advisor to the ruling party and even in the last session of the Salary Council, representing the Industrial Union, he had a meeting with the co-head of the CGT,
Héctor Daer.
If his arrival to the Executive is confirmed, surely through the Office of the President account, he will be the second hierarchical official from the holding company led by Paolo Rocca: in December,
Horacio Marin had taken over as head of YPF.
After the arrival of the former Tecpetrol director to the leadership of the state oil company,
Rocca
himself was in Casa Rosada in a meeting with Minister Luis "
Toto" Caputo
and other businessmen in the energy sector, such as Miguel Galuccio.
The CEO of Techint is one of the executives who aspires to win the only mega public project that would be promoted this year by an ruling party championed by zero deficit: the reversal of the Northern Gasduct, which will cost the national State close to 800 million Dollars.
Milei himself comes from one of the country's largest corporations, the one led by
Eduardo Eurnekian
, where he worked for several years as an economist.
Several of its highest officials come from Corporación América.
The most emblematic case is that of
Nicolás Posse
who, until he joined the La Libertad Avanza campaign team, had a managerial position at the business headquarters in the Palermo neighborhood.
The chief of staff appointed retired brigadier Jorge Antelo
as secretary of National Strategy
, whom he met from his time at Aeropuertos Argentina 2000. The military man has managed to gain a lot of influence and some sources link him with appointments in the Intelligence area of the Ministry of Defense and in the reorganization of the presidential air fleet.
Also parading in the Ministry of the Interior are several former executives of the business group that has, among other businesses, the concession of more than a dozen airports in the country and that in fact has benefited from the opening of the aerocommercial activity promoted by the House. Pink.
The portfolio is led by
Guillermo Francos
.
But his second,
Lisandro Catalán
, also occupied a chair at the business headquarters but for the Acordar Foundation, a public policy plant for Daniel Scioli's presidential candidacy
.
Precisely the former governor of Buenos Aires, who today occupies a place in that portfolio as Secretary of Tourism and Sports, always had a close relationship with the executive of Armenian origin.
This link between sciolismo and the Eurnekian Group also explains the appointment of
Daniel Tilliard
as head of Banco Nación , who, although he worked with Juan Schiaretti in Córdoba, knew how to hold positions in BAPRO.
Another of the "Eurnekian's boys" is the Minister of Justice,
Mariano Cuneo Libarona, lawyer for the aforementioned corporation.
His second in that portfolio,
Sebastián Amerio
, who was sworn in on Friday as representative of the Executive in the Council of the Judiciary, would also have been linked to the Armenian businessman.
The displaced Minister
Guillermo Ferraro
(Infrastructure) had contact with Corporación América through his consulting firm, KPMG, to which he carried out "external consulting" work for the ambitious bioceanic tunnel project to Chile.
Paradoxically, in the design of that frustrated work he met Posse, who, in the end, turned out to be the factotum of his ejection from the Government.
