Milei Formalizes Labor and Health Leadership Changes

The government says the moves are an internal reorganization to place trusted, experienced officials in key administrative posts.

Overview

  • The presidency published Decree 1150/2026 accepting Claudia Testa’s resignation from the Subsecretaría de Relaciones del Trabajo and naming lawyer Mariano Mauro Sartoris as her replacement.
  • Testa’s exit was recorded as effective October 5 and Sartoris formally assumed the subsecretary post on October 6, according to the Boletín Oficial.
  • In a separate decree, 1152/2026, President Javier Milei and Health Minister Mario Lugones accepted Claudio Adrián Stilvelman’s resignation effective October 6 and appointed Horacio Alberto Guevara as superintendent of the Superintendencia de Servicios de Salud effective October 7.
  • Officials said Sartoris was chosen for his public and private-sector labor experience and the trust of Minister Sandra Pettovello, and the decrees also record his resignation from a legal-administration role within the Ministerio de Capital Humano.
  • The changes are now legal and in force via the published decrees, so observers should watch for continuity in wage negotiations and for any shifts in health regulation as the new officials take up their duties.
