Federico Sturzeneggerthe brain that designed DNU 70/23 and the rest of the State deregulations that Javier Milei still has in the pipeline, he will formally take office next week. Unlike what was considered until now, the former BCRA will not do so as a minister, but rather he would be sworn in as secretary under the orbit of the Chief of Staff that controls Guillermo Francos.
The delay in his disembarkation is explained in the Casa Rosada, where they have been waiting for him since the expulsion of Nicolas Posse, is because the powers that Sturzenegger will have in charge are still unclear. At some point, the date for his disembarkation was set with the approval of the omnibus law XS, which will provide the regulatory framework for his powers. Milei himself had made that calculation, but the departure of the former Chief of Staff accelerated the timing of what the President calls “the new stage” of his government.
Although it is still not clear why the Government decided to demote Sturzenegger’s future position, everything indicates that it was a decision made by the presidential small table itself. In fact, it is expected that over the next few days, Milei will call him to a private meeting to discuss the design of his secretariat, the details of his position and the different responsibilities he will have. “They owe a meeting. Once that happens, and that Federico also tells him what he believes is the best way to join, it will be announced,” commented a source of constant consultation for the head of state.
Federico Sturzenegger, the brain of deregulations
While there are many doubts about his future role, there are also some certainties. The presidential advisor visits the Casa Rosada daily, which fueled suspicions that he has an office at the Government headquarters that does not have his name on the door. His responsibility will be to “modernize the State and deregulate the economy,” as Francos announced at a press conference, after leading his first meeting with his team at Balcarce 50.
“He wants to incorporate into the Cabinet a person who is capable of analyzing Argentine regulation and discussing with all members of the Cabinet his vision of what the process of simplification and deregulation of our complex public regulations should be,” Francos expanded at the time to statements to Rivadavia radio.
According to sources from the ruling party, it is possible that Sturzenegger transforms the old area of Simplification and Transformation of the State, which was under the orbit of the Chief of Staff, and molds it to the interests of his own project, such as taking over companies. public entities susceptible to being privatized or closed.
Sturzenegger’s future in Milei’s government will be revealed next week.
