Report: Milei Fires Presidential Residence Staff over Security
Military officials will manage the Quinta de Olivos as the government cuts personnel and cites alleged leaks, while more than 70,000 state workers have already been dismissed.
- Argentine President Javier Milei's administration confirmed military officials took over day-to-day management of the Quinta de Olivos, while eliminating the government body overseeing the property and firing around 12 domestic staff members.
- Officials alleged workers in the president's private living space were leaking information, prompting the reorganization. The administration cited security needs ahead of Pope Leon XIV's November visit, though it did not detail the nature of the supposed leaks.
- Public employees union leader Daniel Catalano reported that terminations included kitchen and gardening workers. This marks the first significant staff reduction affecting Milei's direct orbit since he took office in 2023.
- The administration stated the measures "will make it possible to reduce the formal structure and the number of personnel." This follows Milei firing more than 70,000 state workers since taking office in 2023.
- Little information regarding daily activities at the residence has been made public under Milei, who lives there with his Mastiff dogs that are not permitted to be photographed. The military takeover intensifies operational secrecy at the property.
