Argentina: Macri’s Cabinet Reveals Strong Corporate Influence in Gov't
  • 8 years ago
President-elect Mauricio Macri has announced that several top executives of global companies will be part of his Cabinet, including General Motors, HSBC, J.P. Morgan and Shell Oil. The strong corporate profile of the new cabinet has especially set off alarms in social movements and workers’ unions. Many see this as yet another attempt to align Latin America with the interests of the United States. The last time private sector executives were appointed as government officials was in the neoliberal 1990s, reminding some of Argentina’s hardest times.
