Axel Kiselov hurry In recent days Replace the ministers in his government, a movement Announced and planned for the second phase For a state that, at the same time, raises expectations about the fate of an official he deeply trusts, who was elected in the September elections.
The decision came according to government sources. It is in the hands of Kiselov himself, Who should decide? If a party loses but gains power in the legislature, or if it retains it but, in the same gesture, strengthens its rivals within the internal Peronist party.
Meanwhile, it was confirmed at the beginning of this week that the renewal of the team of assistants closest to the president had begun due to the departure of the current head of the education portfolio. Alberto Cellione.
Kiselov announced that for Director General of Culture and Education – the official title of that department – the teacher’s application would be sent to the legislature Flavia Terrije.
Cellione, who is leaving his position for personal reasons, expressed his thanks “for the opportunity and honor that (Kisiloff) gave me to be responsible for the educational system in Buenos Aires, as well as for the decision to place education at the heart of his government administration.”
The administration of the former Minister of National Education was not without controversy: there is strong investment in school infrastructure, but at the same time, He touched on reforming secondary education curricula.
Her replacement is Dean of the General Sarmiento National University, and tenured professor of the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the University of Buenos Aires. Tereje has been one of the most intense intellectual promoters of curriculum change that Cellione has encountered in practice.
However, Kicilloff is currently contemplating a decision that is perhaps more important for his government and his relationship with his colleagues within the Peronist party.
In the September elections, the governor achieved a victory that gave him, among other things, a quorum in the Senate of Buenos Aires as of December 10, part of this victory being attributed to the Minister of Public Works, Gabriel Katopoudis, who swept the first electoral district.
Before December 2, Kiselov must decide whether the former mayor of San Martin will take office.
This is a dilemma that is not easy to understand: If the minister takes office, the governor will lose one of his prominent bishops Which, on the other hand, wouldn’t have as much exposure in the Senate in the face of a potential 2027 nomination.
Katopodis is more than just a minister: Due to his role, he is in daily contact with the mayors and is one of the Peronist leaders who travel frequently through the region.
In fact, in budget negotiations, the Minister of Public Works is one of the executive’s negotiators before opposition representatives and senators.
but, If this is not assumed, Peronism will lose a seat in the Judicial Council. There is room for four district government lawyers, but without Katopodis there are only three senators with that title.
The other side of the coin is more interesting: DrIf Cato is sworn in next December, the Kiselovian will add 8 of its own senators to the 24 Peronist bench, and there are those who dream of the minister as head of the body..
La Campora, who is 11 years old, hopes he can fight back and retain this position, which will remain in the hands of Teresa Garcia until December.
Yes CatoOn the other hand, he will remain on the Executive Committee and will be replaced by the former Buenos Aires representative from Tigre, Roxana Lopez, something that does not displease the group led by Máximo Kirchner.
