Francos Resigns as Chief of Cabinet, Milei Taps Adorni as Successor

The Presidency casts the shift as a post‑election reset to relaunch reforms from December 10.

Overview

  • Manuel Adorni will take over as chief of Cabinet on Monday and will forgo the city legislative seat he won earlier this year.
  • Interior Minister Lisandro Catalán resigned minutes after Francos, and no replacement was announced.
  • An official statement framed the overhaul as a response to the Oct. 26 election results to launch a second stage focused on structural reforms.
  • Multiple outlets report that adviser Santiago Caputo is expected to lead a consolidated superministry absorbing Interior and other areas, though this has not been formalized.
  • In his letter, Francos cited persistent rumors in stepping down and highlighted convening governors this week, as reporting points to tensions with Caputo and a consolidation of power around Milei’s inner circle.
