The libertarians of the first hour who were expelled from La Libertad advances

In that sense, the ruling party said: “Lla reports that the legislator Ramiro Marra It is no longer part of freedom advances nationwide or in any district of the country, in an irreversibly The ideals of President Javier Milei. “

“All those who do not respect the president’s agenda will be expelled. It doesn’t matter who they are,” The force statement that Milei heads added.

One by one, the “pure” libertarians displaced

However, Marra was not the only libertarian of the first wave who was expelled from the ranks of the ruling. The history is long and has a common denominator: The ejected did not enjoy the confidence of the presidential environment, especially the Secretary of the Presidency, Karina Milei.

On the list are the first cabinet chief Nicolás Posse and Carlos Rodríguezwho served as an advisor to Javier Milei before the presidential campaign. Before the now president formally assumed, the economist confirmed his departure after being the focus of controversies for his sayings against the LGBT collective and on the scope of the adjustment.

Rodríguez used his social networks at that time to clarify that it would be “Much more useful to the cause of freedom if I can think freely.”

At that time he also moved away from the “forces of heaven” Carlos Kikuchiwho knew how to be the national ship’s shipowner and one of the voices that questioned the approach to together for change. From the day after the general elections of 2023, Kikuchi It was run in his role as the main interlocutor with the libertarian referents of the provinces and was empowered in that role to Guillermo Francoswho later became Minister of Interior of Milei and subsequent chief of cabinet.

The advisor’s departure was even reflected in the television cameras in a strong discussion he had with Lule Menem at the Libertador Hotel. Both politicians retired to a lobby section when they warned that they were being seen by journalists, but there was no return.

In that sense, one of the things that bothered Binomio Milei was his link with referents of traditional parties of the provinces, such as the son of the Tucuman repressor Ricardo Bussi.

In the economic area there were also casualties. In fact the team had its first decline before starting the management. Emilio Ocampoappointed by Milei to preside over the Central Bank from before the first electoral round, got off to occupy that place.

Ocampo was the first official appointed by Milei to integrate his government. In full campaign for the first electoral round, Milei mentioned it as a central protagonist of his plan to dollarize the economy and suppress the BCRA. “Emilio Ocampo He will be the president of the Central Bank and will close it, ”said Milei.

However, the landing of Luis Caputo In the Ministry of Economy, with a different scheme to solve the disarmament of the Leliq stock, it was the determining factor for Ocampo’s exit from the Milei team.

Another of the first wave libertarian exits was that of Diana Mondino. Milei dismissed her from the position of Chancellor in October, for having voted in the United Nations against the American embargo on Cuba.

Despite the official announcement, Mondino’s dismissal was imminent. Karina Milei became an informal auditor of the Foreign Ministry through the appointment of people of her trust. These charges were sometimes even against Mondino’s decisions, most of the time more aligned with the Argentine diplomatic tradition than with the president’s approach.

In Congress there were also displaced “cigars”. After a specific order of the Casa Rosada, in August the libertarian block in the Senate, which is commanded by the jujeño Ezequiel Airuche, unanimously threw from the bench to the Formoseño Francisco Paoltroni.
