    “Milei’s cabinet is smaller than usual, fulfilling his pledge to shrink the number of ministries. There were 18 ministries; now there are nine. The ministries of education; labor, employment, and social security; and social development are all now the ministry of human capital.”

    I would call downsizing it to the point of irrelevancy and combining it with 4 other ministries under a new name does constitute eradication.

      Being absorbed by another ministry does not by any means implies that it has been ERADICATED. At most it became a secretary or sub secretary, but not gone.

      You are spreading misinformation

        It’s not simply that it was absorbed by another ministry. 5 unrelated ministries were gutted and combined into an ineffective mishmash, incapable of doing any of the duties previously required.

        Here’s your second source:

        https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2023/12/15/javier-milei-does-away-argentina-culture-ministry

        “Several other ministries were downsized and recombined into new entities. The Ministry of Social Development, Ministry of Education and Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Security will be pared down into a newly formed Ministry of Human Capital, headed by the former TV producer Sandra Pettovello.”

        And, yeah, putting a TV producer in charge of what used to be 5 governmental ministries? Seriously?
