The reorganization in the national government after the overwhelming defeat in the primary elections on Sunday, September 12, also includes the now former deputy chief of staff, Cecilia Todesca, who will accompany Santiago Cafiero to the Foreign Ministry. The economist, one of the most important figures of the economic cabinet that Fernández composed when she arrived at the Casa Rosada, will now occupy the position of Secretary of International Economic Relations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Clear as water. Cecilia Todesca, economist and deputy chief of staff, last night at C5N.

Upon leaving Casa Rosada, the former chief of staff said goodbye in the courtyard of accredited journalists and said that Todesca “comes with me” to take the position held by Jorge Neme, linked to the negotiations in the Common Market of the South. Todesca’s name sounded in recent weeks as a possible replacement for Martín Guzmán in the Ministry of Economy, based on the compliments that Cristina Kirchner gave him in a publication on social networks.
Last Thursday in her letter, the vice president publicly acknowledged that she did not ask for Guzman’s resignation.
