Argentine President Javier Miley demanded the resignation of the head of the Cabinet of Ministers, Nicolás Posse, on the night of May 27, Reuters reports.
According to a government statement, the current Minister of the Interior of Argentina, Guillermo Francos, will assume the head of the government and will combine both positions. Miley fired the official because “differences in criteria and expectations regarding government activities and the tasks assigned to it.”
The Cabinet reshuffle comes at a particularly difficult time for anarcho-capitalist Miley, as a package of libertarian reform bills faces new hurdles in Congress and growth in the local currency and government bond markets appears to have stalled.
Posse was a key part of the team involved in debt negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), along with Economy Minister Louis Caputo.
Miley’s economic reforms consist of the privatization of state-owned companies, as well as other austerity measures in public spending.
