Argentina's SIDE to Retire 400 Agents, Recruit 50 New Cadets via Public Call

Argentina's intelligence agency SIDE will retire roughly 400 agents under a government-backed voluntary retirement plan, replacing them with about 50 new cadets recruited through an open public call on social media and radio, with training starting in 2027. The move signals a significant restructuring of the intelligence community under the current administration, though details on selection criteria and security vetting remain unclear. This marks a notable shift in personnel policy, potentially affecting intelligence capabilities and institutional continuity.
