A key change in electoral logistics
On September 4, 2026, the government of Javier Milei decided to remove Camilo Baldini from the presidency of Correo Argentino, the state-owned company responsible for logistics in national elections. In his place, Adrián González will take over, previously head of the Electoral Management Institute (IGE) of Buenos Aires City. This move is widely seen as a landing of Cabinet Chief Diego Santilli in a strategically vital area.
Correo Argentino is the exclusive logistics operator for national elections: it handles the deployment of ballot boxes, distribution of voter rolls, and transmission of election results. In the 2023 PASO primaries, for example, it distributed 106,659 ballot boxes across 17,432 polling stations using more than 16,000 vehicles and 77,000 workers. Therefore, controlling this entity is crucial for any political force aiming to reach the 2027 elections in good shape.
Who is Adrián González, the new president?
Adrián González is a lawyer (UBA) with a master's degree in Electoral Law from the University of Castilla-La Mancha. His career is closely tied to the electoral world: he served as an advisor to the National Electoral Directorate, worked in the administration of María Eugenia Vidal in Buenos Aires Province, and previously had a stint at Correo Argentino in the Electoral Services area. He was also the legal representative for Horacio Rodríguez Larreta's list in the 2023 internal primary of Juntos por el Cambio.
He was proposed by Jorge Macri to lead the IGE in Buenos Aires City and was appointed in June 2024. His technical profile and experience at Correo make him a key figure to ensure the transparency and efficiency of the electoral operation.
The departure of Camilo Baldini: a Correo veteran
Camilo Baldini, an accountant with a long career at the company, joined Correo in 2012 and served as CEO during the government of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (2014). He returned in 2020 under Alberto Fernández and was ratified by Milei in December 2023 to carry out an adjustment plan. During his tenure, more than 4,000 employees left a workforce of 16,800. Baldini defended his work: he reversed the operating deficit and reported a profit of $209 billion in 2025.
His departure is not just a simple change of names: it reflects the dispute over control of an entity that, according to a July decree (No. 581), now falls under the Cabinet Chief's office, supervised by Deputy Chief Gustavo Coria. The government had postponed the privatization of Correo precisely because of its key role in the 2027 elections.
The new CEO: Bruno Finiello
Alongside González, Bruno Finiello will assume the role of CEO. He is an economist with experience at Accenture, Cencosud, Aerolíneas Argentinas, and in the logistics sector. His technical profile aims to continue the modernization and efficiency of Correo, in line with Milei's management.
