Cabinet Shake-Up Elevates Santilli and Tightens Milei Siblings’ Control

Analysts see a tightened power core around the Milei siblings, not a political opening.

Overview

  • Diego Santilli was brought into the national cabinet and is expected to steer congressional negotiations and talks with provincial governors.
  • Commentators say the additions of Santilli and spokesperson Manuel Adorni reflect direct alignment with Javier and Karina Milei rather than coalition expansion.
  • The shift follows Guillermo Francos’s exit and is framed as consolidating decision-making within the presidential inner circle.
  • Mauricio Macri is viewed as sidelined as the government incorporates figures from PRO without sharing real influence.
  • Key constraints remain unresolved—exchange rate misalignment, high interest rates and recession—while confidence is described as limited and partly sustained by pre‑election U.S. Treasury support that eased market stress.
