Overview
- The Presidency confirmed Javier Milei accepted Guillermo Francos’s resignation and appointed spokesperson Manuel Adorni to lead the Cabinet starting Monday.
- Interior Minister Lisandro Catalán also stepped down minutes after Francos, following their joint role convening governors this week.
- Multiple outlets report that adviser Santiago Caputo is expected to head a new superministry that would fold Interior together with public works and other areas, concentrating political control over provincial ties.
- The shake-up follows La Libertad Avanza’s Oct. 26 legislative victory and reflects a shift of authority toward the president’s inner circle, including Karina Milei’s influence.
- Officials present the overhaul as preparation to advance the 2026 budget and labor, tax, and penal changes, with further cabinet moves likely when Patricia Bullrich and Luis Petri take their congressional seats on December 10.
