Argentina Reshuffles Cabinet as AFA Leans on San Lorenzo and Peru Court Keeps Lima Tolls

The changes reflect Milei’s drive to consolidate control, with institutions asserting rules in parallel.

Overview

  • Guillermo Francos resigned as chief of cabinet and the Presidency named spokesman Manuel Adorni as his replacement in an official communication.
  • Interior Minister Lisandro Catalán stepped down minutes later, ending a brief tenure that began in September.
  • Milei has indicated that close adviser Santiago Caputo could take a formal role in the government’s next phase, highlighting a continuing internal power contest.
  • A heated AFA meeting over San Lorenzo’s governance featured an attempted assault between club figures, and president Claudio Tapia warned he would disaffiliate the club if the IGJ intervenes while demanding a resolution before Tuesday.
  • In Peru, an appeals chamber rejected the prosecutor’s bid to suspend Lima Expresa tolls, keeping the S/6.60 charge in place, and parties reached the JNE deadline to register primary precandidate lists ahead of late‑November and early‑December primaries.
