The first decision that the elected mayor of Cipolletti, Rodrigo Buteler, will make is cut the political staff of the local Executive Branch. It is a decision that responds to the economic crisis but also a drop in Alberto Weretilneck’s line: reducing public spending.
For this reason, the lawyer will send a project to the Deliberative Council – it has not yet been submitted. to redefine the municipal organizational chart that in principle will have fewer secretariatsbut there will also be adjustments in lower ranges.
The municipal cabinet today has eight secretaries. Buteler announced that some will disappear and others might merge, as in the case of Culture and Sports, for example. There are around 80 political staff employees and possibly between 55 and 60 remain.

- Cipolletti’s Executive Branch cabinet has secretaries. There is a project to cut some portfolios.
Of the eight officials that the municipality has today, the majority will leave office. In line with the campaign motto of a young politician, Buteler (he is 38 years old and is one of the youngest mayors in the history of the city) will renew the cabinet in search of partisan freshness.
This week the Secretary of Finance will be defined to finish finalizing the 2024 budget. Until a few weeks ago it was a fixed fact that Adrián Garnero would not continue in office, but in the last hours that possibility was reactivated. The elected mayor stated on several occasions that the first week of November he will announce the integration of what will be his work team: the small Executive board.
As DIARIO RÍO NEGRO was able to find out, there are two officials confirmed to continue in office: Gonzalo Regueiro, Secretary of Innovation and Digital Management and Silvia Seidedos at the head of the Culture Portfolio. It is almost a fact that Patricia Fernández will leave the Government Secretary and Viviana Pereira the Human Development and Community Participation portfolio.
Nor would he continue to lead the Secretary of Public Works Gustavo Zovich, who had a secondary role in the management overshadowed by the outbreak of the pandemic that left little room for action.
Added to the economic crisis, public works during this administration were lackluster and there were few projects of magnitude. The construction of the cycle path was one of the bets in the portfolio.
The assembly of the cabinet has one certainty, which is the offer to the current provincial deputy Sebastian Caldiero. The first option was for him to be the Secretary of the Government, but finally everything indicates that he will be in charge of the Legal area.
Although he is not part of the first line of officials, it is an always sensitive area for the municipality of Cipolletti. The current deputy, a lawyer, has a lot of experience in the field.

- employees approximately form the political plant in the municipality of Cipolletti: a strong adjustment is coming.
Caldiero was a key bishop in the efforts of the elected governor Alberto Weretilneck in the area of Energy with the renegotiations of oil contracts. However, in recent years the relationship has suffered some fissures. also linked to the provincial secretariat that is today headed by Andrea Confini.
Another name that is in the folder is Isabel Tippingpresident of the EPRE (Provincial Electricity Regulatory Entity). The public accountant would join the Economics area although her role is not defined. Tipping has been at the head of the regulatory body since 2019, Before, he was part of the Secretary of the Public Service of Río Negro.
Weretilneck is part of the small table that decides the team that will accompany Buteler. For the leader of Together We Are Río Negro, Cipolletti has strategic political value and wants to reinforce and improve the management of Claudio Di Tella.
The national senator also had disagreements with the current mayor and the management of the Legislature as well. That is why until now neither Di Tella nor the president of the Deliberative Council, Silvana Larralde, had specific offers for the upcoming period. “They are not a priority for now,” they indicated from the national senator’s entourage.
