In a presidential system the President leads both the state and the government. The Interior portfolio is not a separate ministry: it sits within the Chief of Cabinet's office as the Vice-Chief of Cabinet for the Interior (Gustavo Javier Coria). Victoria Villarruel is Vice President. Dates are the start of each minister’s current term in this government.
