Milei Consolidates Power After Legislative Win as Adorni Replaces Francos as Cabinet Chief

Analysts cast the result as a renewed mandate that must be validated by tangible economic progress.

Overview

  • El Cronista reported that Guillermo Francos resigned as chief of cabinet and will be replaced by presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni.
  • Analysts say La Libertad Avanza expanded its congressional blocs and gained backing from previously hesitant governors, opening a window to broaden Milei’s reach.
  • Facundo Nejamkis noted a post-election shift to a calmer, consensus-seeking tone from the president compared with his campaign style.
  • The opposition is portrayed as fractured, with tensions between Axel Kicillof and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and no clear path to resolve leadership struggles.
  • Sergio Berensztein cited the Boleta Única Papel as a fundamental reform and credited U.S. support with stabilizing currency expectations, adding that voters rewarded a sharp inflation decline.
