Argentina Cristina Kirchner gets tired of Alberto Fernández and sends him a public ultimatum
Internacional Cristina Kirchner puts Alberto Fenández on the ropes by removing his loyalists from the government
The Argentine president,
Alberto Fernández
, decided this Friday a broad change in his cabinet of ministers to try to appease the crisis unleashed by his vice president,
Cristina Fernández de Kirchner
.
The
seven new appointees
- six ministers and a secretary of state - are all men, but the most striking politically is that practically all the high positions that the vice president ordered to resign, a sign of the beginning of the crisis, remain in their positions.
"A transition team to get to November,"
summarized
Clarín
, referring to the mid-term parliamentary elections in two months, which the government faces after a resounding defeat last Sunday in the primaries.
The most important change is in the Head of the Cabinet of Ministers, from which
Santiago Cafiero
leaves
, who becomes the new Minister of Foreign Affairs to replace
Felipe Solá
, who is today representing the president at the Celac Summit in Mexico .
Juan Manzur
, governor of the province of Tucumán, will be the new Chief of Cabinet.
Another heavyweight entering the government is
Aníbal Fernández
, former Chief of Staff in the
Fernández de Kirchner
presidency
, as the new Minister of Security, a position he also held in that presidency.
There are no changes in the Interior Ministry, headed by
Eduardo de Pedro
, very close to the vice president and who was the one who led the wave of resignations promoted by the former president on Wednesday.
Other senior officials who surrendered their resignation to the president remain in their posts.
Thus,
Fernández
seems to have falsely closed the worst crisis in his 21 months in office.
The new ministers will be sworn in on Monday
.
So far there have been no comments from the vice president, who on Thursday night publicly released a letter with an extensive series of reproaches to the president.
