Javier Milei's government anticipated a new reduction in public employment.

The Minister of Deregulation and State Transformation, Federico Sturzenegger, announced that a new reduction of personnel in public employment is coming, as part of a deep process of administrative reform driven by the Government of Javier Milei.

In an interview with La Nación+, the official explained that the measure will aim to "spend less" and "collect fewer taxes," two of the central objectives of the current libertarian administration.

According to Sturzenegger, in the coming days a series of decrees will be published that will aim to centralize decentralized agencies, eliminating duplicated administrative structures in the state apparatus. The formal announcement will be made by the presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorni, at a press conference.

When asked by journalist Luis Majul if this reform would only cover the General Transport Commission, a version that had circulated in recent hours, Sturzenegger was categorical: "We are going to make a significant refunctionalization of the Government, much more than transportation." The minister detailed that it will involve "several decrees," some delegated and others autonomous, that will impact all areas and institutions of the State.

During the interview, Sturzenegger harshly criticized the current decentralization scheme, as it creates an inefficient state structure, with duplicated tasks and unnecessary expenses. "When you create decentralized agencies, that comes with its personnel structure; the people who process salaries, the accountants, the legal department. So when we have them centralized, you use the central structure," he explained.
