Recently, it was confirmed that Mariano Cuneo Libarona, the Minister of Justice, is preparing to leave the government. The move would take place after Javier Milei's speech opening the regular session in Congress, according to official sources. The interesting part is that Cuneo Libarona is one of the few remaining from the original cabinet—only three have supported Milei since December 2023: him, Luis Caputo in Economics, and Sandra Pettovello in Human Capital. The rest have left due to disagreements, government pressures, or internal conflicts. The 65-year-old official has been telling his close associates that he needs to regain his family life, professional career, and his space at the university. He had threatened to leave before the October legislative elections, but at that time both Karina Milei and the President convinced him to stay until April. Now it seems he is finally leaving, which would free him from conflicts of interest with his family law firm while serving in the role. He is returning to the University of the Social Museum, where he is Dean of the Law Faculty. Regarding his legacy, he promoted the Accusatory Criminal Procedure Code in 17 provinces, worked on reforming juvenile criminal law, the new Criminal Code, and changes in agencies like the Secretariat of Human Rights. Now comes the difficult part: succession. This will be marked by an internal struggle between Santiago Caputo, the presidential advisor, and Karina Milei. Several names are circulating. There is Sebastián Amerio, the deputy minister, who has already rejected the position on other occasions, saying he does not want to be a minister, but his name continues to be mentioned. Also in the mix is Juan Bautista Mahiques, son of the Court of Appeals judge Carlos Mahiques, who is involved in the AFA case. Mahiques senior just turned 75 and requested to be renewed as a judge, which the government processed with unusual speed. Interestingly, he celebrated his last birthday at the mansion of Pablo Toviggino, the AFA treasurer, who has been questioned for ghost companies. His son, the city’s attorney general and influential in Comodoro Py, is considered a potential minister. Another prominent name is Santiago Viola, a trusted lawyer of Karina Milei and representative of La Libertad Avanza. Viola has been mentioned in these circles as one of the most solid candidates. Also circulating are Mariano Borinsky, a judge of the Federal Chamber of Cassation, considered for the Prosecutor’s Office, with support from Chief of Staff Manuel Adorni. And there’s Diego Luciani, the prosecutor, although he has clarified that he has no intention of entering politics and wants to continue his anti-corruption role. This week, he was in Brasília representing Argentina at a meeting of Anti-Corruption Prosecutors. Guillermo Montenegro, a senator from Buenos Aires and on leave as mayor of Mar del Plata, is also on the list. He has a good direct relationship with Milei and actively participated in the libertarian campaign. According to sources, he has not been contacted by the government, but that doesn’t rule anything out—remember that Diego Santilli was called 24 hours before taking office as Minister of the Interior. Santiago Viola and other names like Montenegro remain the most mentioned in the corridors of Casa Rosada. Amerio’s future is uncertain. Close to Caputo, he has been saying for months that he does not aspire to be a minister, but sources from Casa Rosada say that when he was offered the position, he rejected it. This happened both before and after Milei took office. The suspicion is that if he is not favored with the ministerial role, he probably will not continue as deputy minister either, although nothing is still decided.
