On January 9, the Minister of Justice appeared at the plenary session of committees of the Chamber of Deputies, Mariano Cúneo Libarona. Next to him sat a young man who assisted him in all matters and who even took the floor at one point to make a clarification about jury trials.
The name of this official is Sebastian Amerio and he is the brand new Secretary of Justice. His position is key because he is the one who in practice carries out all the negotiations and informal conversations that the minister cannot address. In the Government of Alberto Fernández, his position was held by Juan Martín Mena.
Amerio comes from working in the Supreme Court of Justice, in the 3rd secretariat and has an excellent arrival at the highest court. To such an extent that he is credited with having been the manager of the Cuneo Libarona meeting with the ministers of the Court a few days before his official appointment. This would have been a move to get ahead of Macri’s pressure to put Macri in his place. German Garavano. Amerio was a familiar face to the supreme judges and managed to unblock the match.
By that time it was also quite unclear to understand who the real interlocutor between Milei and Justice was. From that day on it became clear. Amerio is also a friend of Santiago Caputothe president’s main advisor and who brought the name of Cuneo Libarona to the president’s work table.
