Milei’s Mandate Faces Early Test From Inner-Circle Power Struggle

Analysts caution that a cohesive cabinet with a clear decision center is now decisive for governance.

Overview

  • A prominent column describes a visible dispute between Karina Milei and strategist Santiago Caputo as evidence of weak coordination at the top of the new administration.
  • The piece notes suspicions about Karina Milei’s corruption and asserts that Caputo mishandled intelligence and ties with Washington, framing them as unproven allegations that heighten credibility risks.
  • Cited scholarship by Ernesto Stein, Mariano Tommasi, Octavio Amorim Neto, and Marcelo Leiras emphasizes that presidential performance depends on cabinet cohesion, clear hierarchies, and enforcement mechanisms.
  • The analysis warns that fragmentation in the executive produces mixed signals to Congress, provincial leaders, and markets, eroding negotiating power and external confidence.
  • Provincial perspectives, including Salta’s, stress the need for fiscal predictability, coherent infrastructure policy, and stable transfers that rely on clarity from Buenos Aires.
