Milei is checking three political parties, and anything but calm, further resignations can be heard in SIDE
The government of Javier Milei, by action or inaction, kept the political system in check or at least three forces that have led the crack and power alternatives of the last twenty years, such as Kirchnerism, Macrism and radicalism. The first two were personalists – Cristina Kirchner and Mauricio Macri – and the last were institutional, lacking leadership.
Kirchnerism delved into a negotiation about it jeopardize the province’s ability to govern as if they were opposing forces. However, the protagonists of this soap opera, which culminated in the approval of $3.5 billion in debt, were Axel Kicillof, Cristina (Máximo Kirchner) and Sergio Massa. Battle in which radicals and blue libertarians were active.
Then, quite naturally, the terms of the negotiations were revealed without anyone noticing This display of give-and-take of the province’s resources and offices goes some way to justify the harsh election defeat in Octoberstill warm.

The PJ’s historic rival, the UCR, is also in serious trouble. Next Friday, the Radical National Committee will convene a meeting to choose the new party president to succeed Martín Lousteau. Although it is much better than the PRO in territorial matters because it has the five governors Gustavo Valdés (Corrientes), Alfredo Cornejo (Mendoza), Maximiliano Pullaro (Santa Fe), Carlos Sadir (Jujuy) and Leandro Zdero (Chaco), it lacks leadership like that of Mauricio Macri.

Although they have the “advantage” of The libertarian doesn’t particularly like the radical Bible about the role of the state.
The PRO is perhaps the one most at risk of extinction due to its structure. Because there are no like-minded governors, since Ignacio Torres from Chubut has his own political project and has sharply questioned the party because of its alliance with Milei. Having become almost a provincial force in Buenos Aires, their leader Mauricio Macri could not even stop the bleeding of the yellow MPs towards the LLA. Jorge Macri has dedicated himself exclusively to managing and rebuilding his relationships with libertarians. But 2026 will begin writing the prologue for 2027. A difficult stop.
Further changes at SIDE?
Apparently Santiago Caputo isn’t having his best professional moment. Your advisor advised the Chilean right-wing candidate José Antonio Kast. That’s rumored He traveled incognito through Buenos Aires for a pre-presidential debate coaching session with communist Jeannette Jara. But things didn’t go well and he was interrogated for his repeated excuses. Despite this poor performance, the chances of succeeding Gabriel Boric at the Palacio de la Moneda remain.
However, what worries the advisor most is the episode triggered by the forced departure of the SIDE leader. Sergio Neiffertwhich once again exposed the dispute – albeit very unequal, over the power of the president’s sister – that sometimes manifests itself between Caputo and Karina Milei.
Neiffert’s dismissal would have been decided directly by Caputo after the former intelligence chief defied the adviser by refusing to comply with an order – would it have been to confirm the costs of a SIDE delegation’s controversial stopover to watch Formula 1 in Baku, Azerbaijan? – and then ran to seek protection under Karina’s wing. The president’s sister knows how to differentiate very good for those who know how to build a political relationship with it and for those who change bands from one day to the next out of purely personal interest.

They both went to tell Neiffert he had to leave, and the scene ensued in which the outgoing officer threw them out in their underwear.
Basically the chosen one, Augudra would have expressed his preference to remain on the second line of the organizationbut he had no choice but to accept. The thing is that straight from the underworld of the secret services themselves – no one knows whether friendly or enemy fire, since several tribes coexist – papers about it have already been circulated alleged offshore accounts of the new Mr. 5 and trips with this goal.
Aguadra had waged an all-out war against SIDE’s number two, Diego Kravetz, who was on his way out a month ago. Nothing personal, by proxy. This makes it clear that Kravetz’s hours would be numbered now that Augudra is his boss.

In January, he was officially named Director of Operations – SIDE’s number 2 – and would have the Argentine Intelligence Agency (SIA), the National Security Agency (ASN) and the Federal Cybersecurity Agency (AFC) under his influence. three of the organization’s four departments.
Caputo’s quick decision to appoint Auguadra apparently triggered an internal earthquake within the intelligence community rather than bringing calm. AND He left open the possibility that Karina Milei would finally take over the management of SIDEand placed it under current chief of staff Manuel Adorni, as was speculated sometime last week.
