Last week, a administrative decision taken by the Directorate of Legal Entities of the Province of Buenos Aires put back on the ground irregular to the administrative situation of the Buenos Aires Argentine Industrial Union. This new reproach, which adds two other antecedents that forced to redo elections, returned to put tension between the government of Axel Kicillof and that sector of provincial industrialists, but also undressed the rispidities that underlie discussions about the succession of driving at the UIAthe most powerful union-business entity in the country.
Sources around the Buenos Aires governor they detached Kicillof from the summonswhich started from the Ministry of Justice, and sought to discredit the deepening of a fight that broke out shortly after the start of the current administration. For businessmen, behind the requirement to hold the Ordinary General Assembly again, which was held a little over a year ago, there is an “intimidation” about the re-elected president, Martin Rappalliniwho has a strong weight in the small table of the UIA and who could be in the menu of candidates to succeed Daniel Funes de Rioja in the command of the manufacturing entity, if the also head of Copal decides not to seek re-election.
Kicillof: “Yesterday we saw again how three judges trampled federalism in Argentina”
“It is a technical issue that Legal Entities identifies, but it is a mere formality, that we do not understand how it became news. But (there is) no problem. easy to solve”, they affirmed from the Buenos Aires Ministry of Justice, before the consultation of PROFILE. However, resolution 3177/2023 that had reached the headquarters of the UIPBA warned of a possible interventionif within 10 days he did not comply with the ministerial order. The bomb was deactivated through diplomatic channelsafter a series of meetings where They agreed to lower the media foam and move forward with a new electionunder shared parameters.
The diplomatic exit to the third objection
A first-rate source of the UIPBA consulted by this means ruled out irregularities. “We are the most orderly entity in the country, because in addition to having been legal in all administrative actions, there were already two previous challenges to this claim. In all the demands presented were responded to”, they affirmed of the Buenos Aires entity. As this medium was able to learn, Legal Entities accepted the plan presented by the industrialists and will give them 30 days to call the new Ordinary General Assembly. That understanding prevented a greater evil: a presentation before the ordinary Justice, with a complaint of “political persecution” involved, which several leaders claimed from Rappallini.
Through a Press releaseand after pointing to “nonsense” to the challengesthe entity decided: “To put an end to this situation once and for all, and regularize the situation of the UIPBA in the Provincial Directorate of Legal Entities, we have decided not to appeal the resolution of the Provincial Director, and comply with what is ordered by the Control Agency. On May 2, 2023, we have submitted to said Agency a action plan and schedulewhich has been approved by the Department of Legal Entities, and through which it validates each and every one of the acts that we will carry out to celebrate said Assembly”.
The relationship between Kicillof and the UIPBA was tense from the start. Four months after taking office, the first challenge came to the Ordinary Assembly that crowned Rappallini. That same mechanism was repeated in 2021 and 2022. In fact, administratively the Province never recognized the management of who is also treasurer of the UIA. One of the internal rivals is the owner of Marolio and president of the Industrial Union of General Rodríguez, Juan Fera, who maintains an oiled bond with Kicillof. Besides, on the head of the UIPBA weighs the political distrust of maintaining links with sectors of Together for Change. It happens that one of his brothers, Matthiases current mayor of Maipú by JxC; and the other, Aníbal, had previously commanded that municipality in the Interior of Buenos Aires, representing radicalism.

The president of the UIPBA had been involved in a legal casewhich investigated the alleged involvement of the Alberdi Groupchaired by Rappallini, to keep the contract for the Ezeiza-Cañuelas highway concessionallegedly benefited from political relations with the former director of National Highway Javier Iguacel. This denunciation coincided with the electoral times of the UIAwhere the potter managed to join the small table and in the middle of the internal fights, that involved crosses between the current Secretary of Industry, Jose Ignacio De Mendigurenyeahthe Techint groupfor an alleged veto on his participation as vice president in the mother entity of the industrialists.
Underlying tensions in the UIA
For some Buenos Aires businessmen, The legal advance of the Buenos Aires administration “hides the need to muddy the field” to Rappallini, just when the meetings to rearm the UIA leadership team began. The owner of Alberdi Ceramics is a partner of the multinational Techintwho commands Paolo Rocca, within the assembly of the union-entrepreneur. This relationship generated resistance in an internal sector of the entity, which seeks put limits on the “greed for power” that the T wants to exercise, along with two other tanks, Ledesma and Arcoraccording to his detractors.
There was a piece of information that caught the attention of some members of the UIPBA board of directors. Rappallini was part of the delegation of businessmen who visited Pope Francis last Friday in the Vatican, with an anti-rift speech, under the umbrella of the Institute for Interreligious Dialogue (IDI), which includes the Catholic, Muslim and Jewish creeds. However, he did not appear in any photos, nor was he named. by none of his travel companions when the media account of the activity was made. Lonely, shared his participation in the religious conclave on his social networks. Distrustful reading speaks of a “deliberate act of isolation”to weaken its power in the manufacturing entity.

In the coming days Negotiations will be deepened to direct the re-election of Funes de Rioja at the UIA, as this medium was able to learn, but they must go through the vetoes that could weigh on some of the current representatives sectoral and territorial that make up the current leadership. In principle, the presidential continuity would seal the unit, but there is some uncertainty about the positions to be filled in the boxes of the small table, where could creak the calmstarting at underlying tensionsbetween distrust and denunciation of “political operations”.
