Argentine President Javier Milei made significant changes to the federal executive branch, reducing the number of cabinet-level ministries from 18 to nine.
Many ministries were folded into new offices, with three ministries elevated to cabinet level.
Milei campaigned on a small government platform and fulfilled his promise by eliminating half of the government’s top ministries. (Trending: LeBron James Shares Gun Advice For Americans)
According to Breitbart, “The nine cabinet-level ministries in the Argentine federal government are now the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Foreign Relations, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Economics, the Ministry of Infrastructure, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Security, the Ministry of Health, and the new Ministry of Human Capital.”
“The offices of the General Secretariat, Legal and Technical Secretariat, and Communications and Press Secretariat were elevated to the cabinet, as well, though they will not function as full ministries,” continued the outlet.
“It is been a long job, but from here to 15 years from now, we are going to have an Argentine where everyone wants to produce,” Milei told reporters over the summer.
“The vast majority of people who work for the state is valid, necessary, and in many times has been pushed aside,” Manuel Adorni, Milei’s spokesperson explained.
Adding, “I don’t see any public employee having to be worried about their job.”
“What we are not in agreement with, and we will combat, is what is called militant employment, which is a political matter, doesn’t produce anything and reduces the productivity, salary, and functions of the employee who wants to work,” Adorni said.
Adornia announced in his first press conference that President Milei decided “to change at the root a sinister system, to define it harshly, that comes from what has been happening in Argentina where [you have] a sector of privileges versus a ton of people who are having a bad time because of leadership that for decades could not solve their problems.”
“For over 100 years, politicians have insisted in defending a model that the only thing it has generated is poverty, stagnation, and misery,” Milei proclaimed.
“A model that considers the task of a politician to direct the lives of individuals in all facets and spheres possible. A model that sees the state as a war booty to share among friends,” charged the surging political star.
“We will advance with the changes that the country needs because we are sure that embracing the ideas of liberty is the only way that we will be able to get out of this hole they stuck us in,” promised Milei.
The new Ministry of Human Capital absorbed several former ministries. Milei’s actions were aimed at reducing government spending to address Argentina’s severe economic crisis.
Despite concerns about job losses, Milei’s spokesman assured that productive state employees would keep their jobs.
Milei, the world’s first president elected on a libertarian third-party ticket, vowed to eliminate corruption and improve the country’s situation.
