Francos Resigns as Chief of Cabinet: Adorni to Succeed, Interior Minister Also Quits

The overhaul signals a pivot to tighter control to secure votes for upcoming reforms.

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.
