Argentina security deputy Federico Angelini quits over Bullrich-Milei feud

Federico Angelini, the highest‑ranking official under Security Minister Patricia Bullrich, resigned from his post as subsecretary of Federal Intervention on Thursday. Angelini had overseen the Plan Bandera anti‑narcotics operation in Rosario and coordinated border‑security tasks.

His departure follows an escalating clash between Bullrich and the hard‑line libertarian faction led by President Javier Milei’s sister, Karina Milei. The ministry’s new head, Alejandra Monteoliva, is reported to be aligned with the Mileí‑linked group, deepening the isolation of Bullrich allies.

Sources say Angelini may shift to a role in Santa Fe Governor Maximiliano Pullaro’s administration, where he has longstanding political ties. The resignation raises uncertainty over the future of Plan Bandera and the broader security strategy in Rosario.
