Overview

  • President Javier Milei’s administration formally designated Carlos Curci, former Sociedad Rural spokesperson, as interventor of public media effective end-July, succeeding Eduardo González.
  • Eduardo González’s exit follows his pre-announced plan to resign for personal reasons and implement a 40% reduction in RTA’s structure via voluntary retirements and staff cuts.
  • Curci will inherit oversight of RTA, Radio Nacional, TV Pública, Contenidos Públicos and Apesau as part of ongoing federal interventions extended by administrative decision 5/2025.
  • The administration views the state media system as oversized and will press ahead with voluntary retirements and workforce cuts in line with broader fiscal austerity measures.
  • Curci’s agricultural sector background underscores Milei’s strategic alignment with the farming lobby following recent export tax cuts, all within the confines of Argentina’s media law.
