Shortly after the PRO filed a court petition annulling the appointments of the three new auditors by the Chamber of Deputies in the office of the country’s auditor general they took possession their positions. It happened that Monday morning at 11:06 am. Depending on the version, This was done hastily to prevent the judiciary from stopping the conjectures.
The camper Juan Ignacio Forlonthe Saltena Pamela Calletti (answers the governor Gustavo Saenz) And Rita Monica Almada, of La Libertad Avanza, assumed office at a ceremony held at the AGN College of Auditors.
Ana Salvatelli, The Director of Collegiate Action of the Audit was responsible for transmitting the notice to the appointments made by the nation’s Chamber of Deputies.
At the ceremony, Dr. Salvatelli presented the note, which begins as follows: “Buenos Aires, December 17, 2025, Mr. President of the Comptroller of the Nation”.
It then goes on to say: “I am pleased to inform you that this Honorable Chamber has approved the following resolution at its meeting today. The Chamber of Deputies decides to appoint Dr.
Is The date of the note is interesting. The parliamentary session actually began on Wednesday the 17th, but ended in the early hours of Thursday the 18th. The three new examiners said “Yes, I swear” in the early hours of Thursday the 18th, according to the classic formula.
But the note is from the day before, confirming that the deal between the libertarians and Kirchnerism was already fully made and that they even rushed to write the note before the appointments took place.
After reading the note, the president of the AGN, the Peronist, said Juan Manuel Olmos, He invited Almada, Caletti and Forlón to sign the certificate of ownership of the position. The four posed for a photo together.
Due to the fact that the representatives of the MPs and the Senate had left and not been replaced, the AGN had not been represented for months I was paralyzed. In order to function, a quorum in the Audit College is required, which is achieved with four people: the President plus three. Although the Senate has yet to appoint its auditors, the quorum was present this Monday.
“If there is sufficient quorum, I will begin a short extraordinary meeting.”Olmos said at the outset, adding that the studies completed so far would be made available to the three new investigators “for appropriate analysis.”
The last thing that was defined is this The next meeting will be on Wednesday, February 1, 2026 at 11 a.m., which would show that there is also no administrative Maputo in which they would take the positions. The AGN enters the trade fair in January.
To Forlón, Caletti and Almada You have already delivered 98 files in which the audit has made progress in recent months. More than 70 of these are related to loans from the IDB and the World Bank.
Forlón, from Santa Cruz and friend of Maximo Kirchnerhad already served an eight-year term in the AGN. Now he returned to his old office on the 4th floor of the AGN. The audit takes place in Rivadavia and almost reaches Callao, a few steps from the Congress.
Former MP Caletti and Libertarian Almada were offered offices on the 7th and 9th floors.
The three auditors with salaries worth millions and Term 8 yearsyou can now appoint advisors. But if they do, they should take office in January.
In the last year and a half, MPs have not appointed auditors due to a lack of political agreement between the parties. Surprisingly, the appointment of the three new auditors was voted on in the early hours of Thursday 18th. It happened after an agreement between Kirchnerism and La Libertad Avanza. Almost all remaining blocks left the site ignoring the maneuver.
The PRO assumes that one of the three seats corresponded to him. They even reserved it for the former labor minister Jorge Triaca.
At the same meeting of deputies, before the vote on the auditors, the head of the PRO bloc spoke, Cristian Ritondo, announced that they would go to court. They argue that because of the special session, Congress can only discuss executive branch initiatives. The AGN matter was not on the extraordinary agenda.
But before justice could decide, heThe inspectors were already in action this Monday.
