There is a government official who celebrated the Libra cryptocurrency scandal. His name is Fernando Brom and is the new Undersecretary of Environment, who was formalized by the Government on Wednesday, February 19 in the Official Gazette. His arrival was surrounded by a controversy that would stagger any candidate who aspires to assume a role in the administration of Milei, but the scandal that unleashed from the cryptocurrency libra saved him from the guillotine.
The sequence was as follows: Thursday, the 13th, Ana Lamas resigned as Undersecretary of Environment in the midst of the crisis for the fires in Patagonia. Immediately, from Casa Rosada it was announced that Brom could replace it and he, before the first journalistic consultations, said the government had failures in fire prevention. This earned him a pull of ear from the presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni at his daily morning press conference.
“We do not confirm that appointment because it is not in the Official Gazette. But, clearly, when Brom effectively enters, he becomes aware of how we handled the whole theme, the large amount of help and all the support we have given surely will have a more close opinion of what came happening with respect to that, ”said Adorni.
From that moment on, he began to speculate that Brom could be left before assuming, because the Milei government usually has zero tolerance with those officials who launch criticism of the management. But after the afternoon, Milei surprised the world with her tweet promoting the freight cryptocurrency that ended up causing the loss of billions of dollars to investors of the crypto world, becoming a global scale scandal and forcing the government to put all their efforts to disable this crisis.
And that was how the days and Brom passed, having made an unforgivable mistake for the government, he was lucky that a major problem occupied the attention of his potential executioners and ended up assuming. Now we will have to see if he changed his opinion on how the government worked with the southern fires. The positive thing is that he learned quickly how to handle his new bosses.
