Nicolás Evaristo Salvatori, the son of former Neuquén governor Pedro Salvatori, has been involved in a scandal after being accused of being a 'VIP slacker' within the Ministry of Energy. An administrative investigation revealed that Salvatori would clock in at work but leave almost immediately, failing to fulfill his job responsibilities. This behavior was confirmed through security camera footage, which suggested he was engaged in deceptive practices often linked to corruption in the public sector.

Following the investigation, the government of current governor Rolando 'Rolo' Figueroa decided to terminate Salvatori's employment. Furthermore, measures were initiated to recover the funds he received while not actually working. This incident has drawn local media attention and reflected ongoing concerns regarding accountability and transparency within the provincial government structures in Argentina.

The scandal surrounding Salvatori is significant as it ties back to larger issues in Argentina regarding public sector corruption and misuse of governmental positions. With reports such as these becoming prevalent, there is an increasing public demand for reform and greater oversight in the administration of public sector jobs, especially for those connected to high-profile political figures.
