The recent dismissal of Diana Mondino As Minister of Foreign Affairs by President Javier Milei, she has generated a great stir in the Argentine political sphere. This episode marks a turning point in the national administration and reveals internal tensions and power struggles within the government.
Diana Mondinoan economist who actively worked in Javier Milei’s campaign, was named chancellor at the beginning of his term. However, from the beginning, his management was marked by a lack of communication with the president.
According to close sources, Mondino She never had a fluid dialogue with Milei, which made her work difficult and left her isolated on many occasions. One of the main triggers for his dismissal was Argentina’s vote at the United Nations (UN) in favor of lifting the embargo on Cuba.
This vote, which was the last act of the displaced ambassador Ricardo Lagorio, generated a strong reaction in the Casa Rosada. Although she did not act alone and had the endorsement of the Secretary of Worship and Civilization, Nahuel Sotelo, and the new Vice Chancellor Eduardo Bustamante, President Milei considered that this decision went against his foreign policy.
Mondino’s situation progressively deteriorated. First, Karina Milei, the president’s sister, took over the investment agency as her general secretary of the Presidency, leaving her without one of the few financial resources she had at her disposal.
In addition, the chancery was intervened by the lawyer Úrsula Basset, which further limited Mondino’s power. Throughout his management, Mondino He faced several setbacks and controversies. From unfortunate comments about homosexuality to controversial statements about China, his lack of experience in diplomacy was evident.
Replacement
Milei’s reaction after the dismissal of Diana Mondino It was forceful. On social networks, she responded to a post by the national representative of the Pro, Sabrina Ajmechet, in which she expressed herself “proud of a government that does not bank nor is an accomplice of dictators.” This message made it clear that the president was not willing to tolerate decisions that, in his opinion, went against his foreign policy.
The replacement of Mondino by Gerardo Werthein, until then Argentina’s ambassador in Washington, also reflects a change in the government’s strategy. Werthein, a man close to Milei and her sister Karina, will assume responsibility for the country’s foreign policy.
