Overview
- President Javier Milei accepted Guillermo Francos’ resignation and named presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni to take over as chief of the Cabinet starting Monday.
- Adorni will forgo the legislative seat he won and continue his spokesperson duties while assuming the Cabinet post, according to the official announcement.
- Interior Minister Lisandro Catalán, a close ally of Francos, also resigned shortly after the change at the top of the Cabinet was confirmed.
- The Presidency framed the moves as a response to the Oct. 26 election results and a step to renew political dialogue for priorities such as the 2026 budget and labor changes.
- Multiple outlets report that advisor Santiago Caputo is being positioned to lead a consolidated super-ministry that would absorb Interior and other areas, though portfolio assignments are not yet finalized.
