“Governor Axel Kicillof appreciates the work carried out by D’Onofrio since his inauguration in January 2022,” The Buenos Aires management pointed out in the statement that was released to the press.
At the same time, they recalled that “since then, very important milestones were achieved such as the approval of the Zero Alcohol Law; the expansion of the Special Educational Ticket to more than four million Buenos Aires students; and the implementation of the Young License program to train thousands of male and female students at the secondary level in matters of road safety”.
Marinucci has a degree in Administration and a professor at the San Agustín Teacher and Technical Training Institute. Before assuming ownership of Trenes Argentinos, he served as director of the Electrical Energy Control Agency of the Province of Buenos Aires; councilor of the Morón party; and director of IOMA, among other functions.
Through his social networks, Kicillof thanked the outgoing official “for the great work he carried out and for the commitment he showed during his management at the head of this strategic ministry for the province.”
He also welcomed Marinucci, with whom, he anticipated, they will work “to deepen each of the policies and continue transforming.”
For his part, the resignation thanked “the trust and support of Governor Axel Kicillof and my reference Sergio Massa.”

The Province of Buenos Aires extended the Budget
This Monday, meanwhile, the government of the province of Buenos Aires announced that it will once again extend the budget approved in 2023 by the year 2025 due to the lack of approval in the Legislature of that instrument of economic policy and government planning, as well as the Tax Law of 2024.
“Last Friday, the Legislature did not approve the budget, the Tax Law or the debt,” said the Government Minister, Carlos Biancoduring a press conference that he led at the Government House in La Plata and added that the package of laws “was not an adjustment, nor a cut, but rather an expansion and responded to the cuts that the national government made to us.”
The official stated that “the cuts in fresh national funds that legitimately correspond to the province reach the 7.8 billionamong which is the paralysis of a thousand public works” and recalled that, for this reason, “6 complaints were made before the national Supreme Court” and “some response” is expected.
“Our priorities continue to be health, education, security, work, public works and production. We continue to carry it forward, with fewer resources,” he said and added: “Our program is not an adjustment, it supports public works and launches economic activity.”
