Milei Government’s INTA Overhaul Takes Effect as Protests and Legal Challenges Mount

Union court appeals and congressional resolutions aim to annul the reform after the president’s appointee gained sweeping control under the Agriculture Secretariat.

Overview

  • Decree 462/2025 stripped INTA of its autonomous status and reclassified it as a deconcentrated agency reporting to the Secretaría de Agricultura, Ganadería y Pesca.
  • Decree 466/2025 elevated Nicolás Bronzovich to INTA president with secretary-level rank and tie-breaking authority while naming María Beatriz Giraudo as an ad honorem technical advisor.
  • Bronzovich now controls the composition of a restructured technical council and holds ultimate decision-making power within the agency.
  • The Asociación del Personal del INTA (APINTA) has announced symbolic occupations of INTA buildings and filed judicial amparos to halt the reform’s implementation.
  • Legislators from Coalición Cívica and Unión por la Patria have introduced resolutions to declare the decrees invalid for violating INTA’s autarchy law.
