  • Verónica Magdalena Varela was named Subsecretary of Administrative and Legal Coordination at the Secretaría de Comunicación y Medios, with her appointment taking effect on Tuesday, August 18, 2026.
  • Martín Domingo Lepera and Verónica Yanina Ramos were appointed to roles in the Ministry of Capital Humano that began on August 1, 2026, as subsecretary for technical coordination and analysis and subsecretary for human promotion, respectively.
  • All three designations were formalized in decrees published in the Boletín Oficial and carry signatures from President Javier Milei and senior cabinet officials.
