Francisco “Pancho” Meritello, until now Media secretary de la Nación, presented his resignation and joins the losses in the Cabinet of Alberto Fernández after the electoral defeat of the PASO, the crisis of resignations and letter from Cristina Kirchner and the change of ministers.
According Clarín confirmed On Tuesday night, the official – who is the brother-in-law of Gustavo Beliz, another bishop close to the President – will be replaced by Valeria Zapesochny, Historical spokesperson for Juan Manzur, the new Chief of Staff who took office on Monday.

Zapesochny worked in communication for the government of Tucumán and had previously accompanied Manzur in his time at the Ministry of Health during the presidency of Cristina Kirchner.
In the coming days, in fact, more changes could occur in the area of Media and Public Communication after the departure of former presidential spokesman Juan Pablo Biondi, replaced by Juan Ross.
Meritello could follow a similar course to other cadres close to Alberto Fernández who fell out of favor after the harsh letter from the vice president. As happened with Santiago Cafiero who got shelter in the Foreign Ministry, Meritello could change his role.
The Media Secretariat was, from the beginning of the Government, a place plagued with tensions with hard-line Kirchnerism that even stated that a substantial increase in numbers was necessary. official advertising.
With a low profile, Meritello had his moment of exposure before the fragments of the scandal on Public TV about the bags with money that produced a bloodletting of officials resigned under the orbit of another Albertist, the former journalist Rosario Lufrano. The media secretary had to address that crisis in public.
The outgoing Meritello had come to the public function knowing the area that he would assume with Fernández: he had come from being executive director of Grupo Octubre, the multimedia of the trade unionist Víctor Santa María, a strong man of the Buenos Aires PJ and close to the President.
