Overview
- Brandi's appointment, published Monday in Decree 265/2026, follows the removal of Leandro Massaccesi after his Banco Nación mortgage became public.
- Government sources said no rule-breaking was found and cast Massaccesi's exit as a step to avoid further public wear after he failed to flag the loan through formal channels.
- Banco Nación said access to these mortgages is uniform with no exceptions, though since 2024 it has offered a separate line for public employees with more favorable terms.
- Opposition lawmakers sought inquiries as Economy officials including Federico Furiase and BICE director Felipe Núñez acknowledged taking similar loans and defended them as legal and at market rates.
- Massaccesi said he broke no law and described the credit as a first-home mortgage he applied for online with his partner.
