Daniel Cambón Rubí resigned from his post of general manager of the institute and was succeeded by Damián Pieroni, formerly employed as an employee of the IAS delegation of Comodoro Rivadavia.

Sources cited by local news website Canal 12 Web claim that Ramiro Ibarra will retain his role as the president of the Chubut Lottery, and that the restructuring of the organization’s management team has more to do with political considerations rather than any inefficiencies.

Background Political Contexts Influence the Restructuring Process

Daniel Cambón, nicknamed “Coppola“, has a considerable background of participation in the Peronist political movements and previously served in public positions in the government of the then-provincial governor Martín Buzzi.

In recent years, Cambón supported the libertarian political factions in the region and acted as a campaign coordinator for the Ciudadanos por Chubut party.

Following the elections held in 2023, Cambón became involved with the legislature as a political consultant of Deputy Daniel Casal, who quit the original faction of legislators he belonged to and founded another faction known as Familia Chubutense, allied to the provincial administration.

Recently, there were rumors circulating around town about emerging tensions between Casal and the majority faction of the provincial legislature. Specifically, it was speculated that Casal may switch his allegiance and join the ranks of legislators dissatisfied with the government, which would include Mariela Tamame and Sergio González, among others.

Local sources reported that the restructuring process initiated in the lottery administration may be one of the earliest outcomes of those political disagreements.

Specifically, Pieroni intends to focus on organizing staff training sessions and updating operational processes intended to increase efficiency and speed up internal organizational processes.

Moreover, Pieroni stressed that his management style will be in full accordance with the directives set by IAS President Ramiro Ibarra.

One of the top priorities for the new administration will be working on strengthening connections with lottery agencies and retailers. Pieroni called them the strategic partners for the institute.

Furthermore, Pieroni stressed that direct and consistent communication with operators of the agencies will help resolve all previous issues concerning operational activities of the organization and improve their practicality.

Social Actions Will Continue to Play an Important Role

At the same time, Pieroni emphasized the commitment of the institute to carrying out social actions.

As the head of the lottery explained, the Chubut Lottery will continue assisting different health care institutions, educational establishments, and sporting organizations by providing them with various goods and equipment.

The preparation for the upcoming Telebingo Deportivo tournament to be held on May 24 in Comodoro Rivadavia has become an important issue at this point. According to Pieroni, the tournament will include performances of local musical bands and will conclude with an entertainment show performed by a celebrity band.

Even amid difficult economic conditions, Pieroni noted that people continue to support gaming initiatives organized by the IAS as the proceeds from those initiatives go into social assistance programs benefitting sports clubs and public organizations.
