Manuel Adorni Sworn In as Argentina’s Chief of Cabinet

The appointment signals a drive to advance structural reforms by keeping votes intact during 2026 Budget talks through a postponed oath for Diego Santilli.

Overview

  • President Javier Milei administered the oath at the Casa Rosada’s Salón Blanco, with cabinet ministers and guests in attendance.
  • Adorni said he intends to deepen structural reforms and indicated he may keep spokesperson duties as he organizes his new team.
  • Guillermo Francos and Interior Minister Lisandro Catalán exited their posts after transition meetings and Francos’ public farewell message.
  • Diego Santilli was designated to lead the Interior Ministry, but his swearing-in was delayed to avoid altering lower-house arithmetic during 2026 Budget negotiations.
  • The government plans to call extraordinary congressional sessions from December 11 to 31 to take up the 2026 Budget and then labor, tax and Penal Code initiatives.
