In a new recycled caste turn, President Javier Milei appointed Lisandro Catalán as a brand new Interior Minister. The 54 -year -old Tucumano lawyer was appointed as the new head of the Ministry who had been eliminated in 2024, now returning in a context of political necessity, after Sunday’s electoral beating in Buenos Aires legislative. He will integrate the Federal Mesa with Guillermo Francos and Luis Caputo, seeking to strengthen ties with the provinces.
According to News, Catalan is an old acquaintance of Milei on the days when both invoiced great sums to the Bonarense state through the Agreement Foundation: a gear designed to finance economists and operators close to sciolism with public money.
There, the current president charged about $ 3,000 per month for alleged consultancies and technical talks financed with money from the State. At that time, Catalan directed Seguros province and, together with Guillermo Francos and Alberto Jorge Hure, integrated the same structure that channeled those funds. Today, the four cross again at Casa Rosada.
All who paid Milei today work by his side.
This is a clear sign that Milei’s anti -stroke discourse has its limits when it comes to old loyalties and pending favors. The return of Catalan highlights the crack between the Milei that denounced the caste and the “ensobrados”, and the one that supports them today to sustain their government. Meanwhile, the organic militancy of Lla Vira with disenchantment to the party that promised to sweep with the old policy and its caste practices, looking too much to what it said it was fighting.
