Cavalry Colonel
Alejandro Daniel Guglielmi
will be discharged as
head of the Casa Militar, the military unit in charge of presidential security and the custody of the Casa Rosada and the Olivos residence.
The career soldier has not yet been informed by his military superiors or by the Secretary General of the Presidency
Karina Milei
, to whom he depends in the organizational chart.
He would be replaced by senior colonel and commander of the 5th Mountain Brigade
Sebastian Ibáñez
.
Upon unofficially learning the news, Guglielmi wrote two notes.
One to the head of the army Carlos Presti and another to the general secretary of the Presidency, his boss in practice.
He didn't have any response.
In Balcarce 50, whose corridors the until now chief knew better in the roles of the force than the President's flanks, the autonomy of the soldier was never well received.
Guglielmi had served as number 2 of the force during Mauricio Macri's administration, when
José Luis Yofre
was left in command of the Military House.
During the government of Alberto Fernández he was in charge of the coordination of the force, which he continued to manage after the inauguration of Javier Milei.
In the Senate, his request to promote him to general has been dormant since November 2022.
Guglielmi had been on the tightrope two years earlier, during Diego Maradona's wake at the Casa Rosada that ended with bars singing in the Patio de las Palmeras and busts of presidents on the ground.
Milei's last-minute announcements and the former president's style complicated the plans of those responsible for presidential security.
Casa Militar not only takes care of the security of the current president, it also ensures that of former presidents.
