Olivos residence reorganization: Casa Militar to assume control

The Argentine government has announced a major reorganization of the Olivos presidential residence. The Administration General of the Olivos Presidential Residence is being dissolved, with security and management responsibilities being transferred to the Casa Militar. This transition is expected to be completed within 60 days.

The official justification for the move cites the need to increase efficiency and security standards in response to rising global insecurity and the upcoming visit of Pope Leo XIV to Argentina in November. However, other reports suggest the decision was prompted by alleged information leaks regarding the activities of President Javier Milei and his inner circle.

The reorganization has led to the dismissal of approximately 12 civil employees, including the residence's manager, Osvaldo Javier Sosa. Some permanent staff members are being relocated to other government departments, such as Casa Rosada.

The State Workers' Association (ATE) has expressed strong opposition to the dismissals, declaring itself on alert and threatening industrial action. Union leaders have criticized the move as a 'militarization' of the government and have even called for a medical aptitude exam for President Milei.
