Browsing the state was always one of the great axes of the electoral campaign that led it to Javier Milei to the presidency, but also became one of the pillars of its management. Finished the agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), The government began an internal debate to give the final form to the administrative structure with which the Casa Rosada will head towards the second part of its mandate.
A battery of decrees is debated within the libertarian administration. The idea the officials who They work near the president is to publish all the necessary rules to modify structures, eliminate offices, merge with each other and create new units that concentrate duplicate functions.
The path of these norms began to travel, at this time, the most turbulent moment. It happens that the technical teams advanced with their work that consisted of detecting what dependence or organism could be modified or even eliminated. That folder entered, now, in the wonderful territory of politics. And there began the complication.
To understand: Each number one of an organism has a terminal at the vertex of the Casa Rosada. And nobody wants to lose public policy management, budget, personnel, in a word, can. Those eliminated or fused, raise their voice; and the new places that will handle several areas that were previously divided are disputed as politics always did.
To the examples. According to what several sources confirmed in the matter, There are dozens of offices that could change their current physiognomy and even disappear. “In all ministries there are specific cases,” said an official who works in the initiative.
In the aerocomercial world, a simplification of organisms has been prepared for a long time. There you can tell the Secretariat of Aerocomercial Transportationto the national Civil Aviation Administration (ANAC)al Regulatory Agency of the National Airport System (ORSNA) and Argentine Air Navigation Company (EANA).
To put numbers, the ANAC has 1721 employees; El Orsna, 201 workers and La Eana, 2361 dependents. To them is added all those who serve in the Undersecretariat that also depends on the Secretariat of Transportation. Several technical teams began to review the structure. The idea was to merge everything in one place.
And the problems began. The easiest to eliminate is the Orsnaa control entity that manages the airport rate, decides its destination and authorizes works in the National Airport System. That is to say, It works for the contract that Argentina 2000 Airports has with the State. That body has the days counted.
The ANACbeyond the policy that got long ago, especially when La Cámpora And its leaders took over, it should be a technical organism. In turn, it has signed international agreements for the control and authorization of aircraft flights. A large part of the changes should be approved by the other parties in these agreements with international agencies. Likewise, It is possible that the Undersecretariat, the ANAC and the ORSNA walk towards a confluence.
The Eana is a state society. Then, the road should be a liquidation and not the fusion with another organism. Of course, it could be in an official distribution, but the road is another since It is governed by the Societies Law.
In the case that this could be solved, the problem of who will handle the area appears, which will have the absolute power in the subject. The field of politics and power is fully put in the matter. In this area, for example, the interests of the Secretary of Transportation, Franco Mogetta; those of the presidential advisor, Santiago Caputoand those of other officials who were placing their bishops.
Another of the areas that are reviewed carefully are the National Institute of Industrial Technology (INTI) And his cousin, The National Institute of Agricultural Technology (INTA). The first has 2391 employees and the second, 6412. To this world is added National Health and Agrifood Servicewith others 5530 employees. There is the National Administration of Medicines, Food and Medical Technology (ANMAT), with a payroll 1235 Dependents As if this were little there is an administrative structure, which was once ministry, and that has several distributions with similar functions.
“Could an agency that handle all this structure arise?” The nation to an official official. “Difficult to congenize such a number of things and functions, but that was the main ideal. Like the ANACalso in these organisms there are international commitments, certifications and cross validations. Nothing is simple but the intention is that, fusion and disappearance.
Two blocks beyond is the National Transport Security Board With 512 employees, and its neighbor, the National Transport Regulation Control Commission (CNRT)with 1721. No one can ensure that they will remain the same after this battery of decrees.
There are more. Two control agencies, the National Electric Regulation Entity (ENRE) and him National Gas Regulation Entity (Enargas) have the future sealed. A new one that subsumates both functions will be created, but until it works, the previous ones will continue in the exercise of their powers. “The intention is to consolidate a single structure,” said an official. The electrical system controller has 342 employees, while the other 537, according to INDEC data updated to February, last available report.
The reconfiguration of the areas will inevitably derive in a reduction in the number of workers used in both units. There are more, the Federal Council of Electricity and the dependencies of the Ministry of Energy.
There is a more control body that could also end in a file: the Sanitary Water Regulatory Entity. The Eras only controls a contract, that of the state Water and sanitation (AYSA). But as the company is public, there is no concession contract. Over time, the ERAS It has become a reception of user complaints. In addition, according to what the same agency decides, performs awareness of awareness of water consumption. You have the days counted.
Next to him lived the National entity of sanitation water works (enhosa)a state agency that was in charge of planning, execution and management of water and sanitary infrastructure works throughout the country and was dissolved by the Government on November 13, 2024. Its functions were absorbed by the Subsecretariat of Water Resources. That will be the fate of many official offices.
According to INDEC data, they are reported 68 Dependences which are called “decentralized administration.” There they live from the CONICET Even the Customs Collection and Control Agency (ARCA) and in total they have 122,447 employees. In that universe they are, in case, National Institute of Vitiviniculture (457 employees) and the National Seed Institute (243 workers), two of the dependencies that have a huge question sign in the margin.
In the Mining Area, where there is a Secretary of State, he also set his sights to subsume some areas in others. For example, the Argentine Mining Geological Service (Segemar)with 329 employees, could end within the structure of the central administration.
Another fixed is the disappearance of National Roadas well as the state company Road corridors and the National Road Safety Agency. All this scheme will form an agency that will have interference on all national routes.
The times are scarce. They will try to get on time for Everything happens before the year of validity of the Base Law is fulfilled, that is, on July 9. It happens that then the delegated powers that the president enjoys fall. “The public emergency in administrative, economic, financial and energy emergency for a period of one year is declined in the National Executive Power, the powers provided by this law, linked to certain matters of administration and emergency,” says the law.
Finally: Is it only about shrinking the State? Of course, behind, another issue underlies and that is to reduce the amount of positions with specific decision power. The president did not want to use many times of the technical teams he has and offers the former president Mauricio Macri. And without sufficient trusted people, it is best to have fewer lockers than to fill, even if they have more functions.
Now the technical issue remains to be polished, but, above all, see who won the small ones to control more places with the same person. In short, see who best suits your bishops on a smaller board.
