  "account": "Argentine President Javier Milei has dismissed roughly a dozen domestic staff members from his official residence, Quinta de Olivos, in a bid to curb alleged security leaks, according to newspaper La Nación. The personnel cuts were disclosed by unnamed officials, who cited the president's concerns over international tensions and an upcoming papal visit in November. The government stated the action aimed to streamline the residence's administrative structure and reduce staffing levels. Some employees were reportedly moved to new roles, while others were let go, with gardeners and kitchen personnel among those affected, according to the union leader Daniel Catalano. Milei, who typically conducts official business at the Buenos Aires presidential palace, has increasingly occupied the sprawling Quinta de Olivos, a wealthy suburb residence. The president, known for his smaller staff elsewhere, has not drastically downsized his inner circle. Milei's time at the residence is marked by his care for his Mastiff dogs, a detail the president rarely shares publicly.",
  "summary": "Milei’s press office confirms military officials will take over day-to-day management of the Quinta de Olivios residence, eliminating the government body that oversees the property. Leer más",
