Argentina Moves to Regain Parliamentary Control After Adorni Resignation

The Milei administration named Diego Santilli chief of cabinet and reshuffled communications to try to restart a stalled legislative agenda as the judicial probe into Manuel Adorni continues.

Overview

  • Manuel Adorni resigned after media and judicial scrutiny over his patrimony, and prosecutors continue an active investigation into alleged illicit enrichment.
  • Diego Santilli was appointed to replace Adorni and is taking office to lead negotiations with governors and allied blocs to recover votes that stalled Congress.
  • Karina Milei called a meeting of the 95 deputies and 21 senators of La Libertad Avanza for Wednesday in the Casa Rosada, with President Javier Milei expected to attend, to relaunch the government's agenda.
  • The Presidency also moved Adrián Ravier into the role of presidential spokesperson and promised a tighter, more management‑focused communications approach after the controversy hampered public messaging.
  • The government is prioritizing approval of judicial and diplomatic pliegos, a property-inviolability bill and parts of its electoral reform, but tensions with PRO allies and ongoing court evidence mean outcomes remain uncertain.
