Each State agency continues to carry out its own internal audit and in the coming days there could be several layoffs in different areas. UPCN requested a meeting with a Karina Milei official to analyze the situation

President Javier Milei and the Secretary General of the Presidency, Karina Milei (NA)
More than one hundred days after taking office, President Javier Milei continues to cut personnel in the State and in the coming days thousands of dismissals of public employees whose contracts will not be renewed could be announced.
According to what official sources told Infobae , since last January 1, each Ministry and agency of the National Executive Branch has been counting the total number of workers it has.
This task had a period of 90 calendar days to be carried out, so before next week each area should already submit their respective reports to the Chief of Staff, in charge of Nicolás Posse , although it will be each of them that will finish to decide how many of all those contracts that expire on March 31 will be maintained .
In a framework of strong adjustment, the Government fired this Tuesday about 900 people who fulfilled different functions in the Institute of Family, Peasant and Indigenous Agriculture, which was headed during the previous administration by a leader of the Evita Movement close to Emilio Pérsico, and in the National Council of Family Agriculture.
The Government announced the closure of the Institute of Family, Peasant and Indigenous Agriculture and the National Council of Family Agriculture
Both entities were closed and the first of them will once again become a National Directorate, with the objective of "generating necessary savings in the public coffers and recovering the functions of the organization," according to the Office of the President in a statement.
It remains to be seen what will happen to some similar sectors, such as the National Institute of Indigenous Affairs , dependent on the Ministry of the Interior, led by Guillermo Francos , who has already ordered a survey of its entire plant. “We will have to see what usefulness it has, if it has none, it will surely be reviewed,” explained an official close to Milei.
In fact, in this portfolio several Secretariats and Undersecretaries were eliminated or unified and, according to Casa Rosada officials, so far the number of employees has been reduced by 50%.
All of these decisions generated the concern of some state unions, such as the Union of Civil Personnel of the Nation (UPCN), whose authorities even formally requested a meeting with the undersecretary of Administrative Coordination of the General Secretariat of the Presidency, Gladys . Humenuk .
The union is seeking that the official, who responds directly to Karina Milei, receive them “to discuss various issues regarding the situation of the personnel” who work in that sector of the Casa Rosada, but for the moment they had not received a response.
“We are following with great attention, prudence and concern, everything that has happened from December to date, as well as monitoring the impact of the decisions that economically and emotionally affect the personnel dependent on the Secretariat. Regarding their scope and dimension, we must point out that they compromise humanitarian situations of a food nature for hundreds of workers at the Casa Rosada,” UPCN noted in the request.
Likewise, the union considered that “it would be extremely useful and civil to be able to talk, within the framework of institutional dialogue,” about “the technical and service reasons that would promote a satisfactory and orderly solution to the problem, within the current parameters.” ”.
“We understand the limitations of middle management (Directors and lower-ranking officials) to contain the demand and respond, and we thank them for the good predisposition evidenced so far. We know how hard and difficult it is to try to lead intimidated and unmotivated work teams, who on top of that have the pressure of assisting the President of the Argentine Nation. The absence of dialogue only incites and promotes violence, a path along which our organization must never travel, because we learned from history, which has only left fratricidal defeats for our Nation," concludes the letter signed by the general secretary of the union, Fabiola Mosquera .
