Lavagna was ousted by President Kirchner on 28 November 2005, after a week or so of persistent rumors followed by official denials. He was replaced by Felisa Miceli (who resigned in 2007 over a money scandal, refered to by the press as toiletgate), until then the President of the Nación Bank and a former student of Lavagna's. The reasons for the forced resignation of the Minister were not made public, though speculations ranged from the failures in fighting inflation to recent Lavagna's accusations of cartelization against certain private companies involved in contracts with the government, which were seen as an indirect attack against Julio De Vido, Minister of Public Works and personally close to the President. Lavagna only told the press that the President had decided his removal as part of a common post-election renewal. The next day, José Pampuro, former Minister of Defense, admitted that relations between Kirchner and Lavagna had become "complicated" since the elections, and that the situation was "tense" during the week before Lavagna's removal. Off-the-record sources also indicated that Lavagna's independence clashed with Kirchner's desire to have a homogeneous cabinet. is the 332nd day of the year (333rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Lavagna has formed his party, called UNA (Una Nacion Avanzada, or "An Advanced Nation") to run against the current governments candidate, Cristina Kirchner in the October 2007 Presidential elections. Senior members of the Radical Civic Union, Socialists and Peronist supporters of former President Duhalde have voiced support for a coalition behind Lavagna's candidacy, although this has been controversial in all three parties.
