AFI intelligence chief Agustín Rossi, 63, swore in as Cabinet chief on Wednesday afternoon, the 20th man (no female ever picked) to hold the post since its creation by the 1994 constitutional reform and the third of the current administration. He replaced Juan Manzur, who returned to his native Tucumán to contest the May 14 provincial elections as the running-mate of incumbent Governor Osvaldo Jaldo. Rossi had already clinched the appointment in the previous week but his inauguration had to await his return from holidays in the United States, flying in from Atlanta. Juan Manuel Olmos stays on as Deputy Cabinet chief. Ana Clara Alberdi, Rossi’s second-in-command at AFI, was strongly tipped to replace him at the helm of the intelligence agency but there had been no confirmation at this page’s press time.
