In the complaint, the lawyer highlighted that “the DNU enables, among other deregulations, that of the financial market and the privatization of the Banco de la Nación Argentina, which is the largest public bank in the country.” In that sense he points out that “Mondino is on both sides of the counter regarding the possibility of doing business” and highlights that the benefit she brings is in her capacity as a banker “since she is the majority shareholder of Banco Roela.”
In response to Ámbito’s consultation, Ezequiel Ninospecialist in transparency issues and co-founder of the Civil Association for Equality and Justice, stated that “in accordance with the current rules on conflicts of interest, the chancellor he should have excused himself from signing the sections of the DNU linked to banking activity in which he has a patrimonial interest.” For their part, from the Poder Ciudadano foundation, they pointed out that “it is a situation to pay attention to” and added that “The Anti-Corruption Office should study the issue in depth and analyze whether it constitutes a case of conflict of interest.”
Later, in statements to the newspaper Perfil, the constitutional lawyer Andrés Gil Domínguez considered that the double role of the chancellor, as a signatory of the DNU and majority shareholder of the Roela bank, is “totally objectionable”, based on the fact that the regulations legislate on issues that could directly impact your assets. “If you are in public office and you sign or issue a regulation that affects a private sphere, you have to excuse yourself because there is an ethical incompatibility, regardless of whether it benefits you or not,” he said.
The Government also referred to the issue: “There is absolutely no incompatibility, even less in the deregulation of the financial system. In any case, one could understand that there is a harm and not a benefit,” said the presidential spokesperson. Manuel Adorni in his usual press conference. The argument that the ruling party reproduced in chorus clashes with the potential benefit that the entities could have from the release of punitive interests and commissions to businesses, and the business that opens up if a player of the weight held by the club is removed from the field. Banco Nación in the market.
Apart from the Mondino case, Daniel Valmaggia’s complaint also targets President Javier Milei, the Minister of Economy Luis Caputo, the presidential advisor Federico Sturzenegger, the Secretary of Energy Eduardo Rodríguez Chirillo, the Legal and Technical Secretary Javier Herrera Bravo and the Minister of Health Mario Russo.
