The government of the province of Misiones ordered the elimination of more than 114 hierarchical structures within the Executive Branch. It also launched an administrative redesign process that must be completed in 90 days.
The measure was made official through Decree No. 267, signed by Governor Hugo Passalacqua and published on February 25 in the provincial Official Gazette.
The decision is framed in a national context marked by the reduction of the State promoted by Javier Milei. The president was the one who introduced the "chainsaw" as a symbol of adjustment and the cutting of structures considered unnecessary. In Misiones, the approach adopts its own tone, although with a message aligned with the current political climate.
What the decree establishes
The text eliminates directorates, coordinations, private secretariats, and intermediate levels distributed across 17 jurisdictions of the provincial State. According to the decree, there are "hierarchical tiers created in previous stages that are no longer functional to the current management dynamics."
La medida fue oficializada mediante el Decreto N° 267, firmado por el gobernador Hugo Passalacqua
The regulation sets three key points:
Article 1: eliminates the levels detailed in the annexes.
Article 2: orders that the reassigned areas report directly to the corresponding Superior Unit.
Article 3: establishes a 90-day period to adjust the organizational charts and complete the redesign.
The Executive Branch emphasized that the province already has one of the lowest proportions of public employees per inhabitant in the country. Meanwhile, the measure aims to simplify the internal structure without affecting essential services.
Administrative modernization and political signal
The Misiones government keeps that the objective is to concentrate responsibilities under the direct leadership of the highest authorities, eliminate overlaps, and reduce intermediate layers of decision-making.
Beyond the technical aspect, the decision also sends a political signal. In a scenario where the debate focuses on the size of the State and the efficiency of spending, Misiones is adopting a hierarchical cutback scheme that engages with the narrative established by Casa Rosada.
