Milei Consolidates Power With Governors' Show of Support and Cabinet Change

Voters wary of a 2001-style breakdown rewarded a promise of order.

Overview

  • The president convened 20 provincial leaders at the Casa Rosada two days after the vote, signaling alignment behind his agenda.
  • Four kirchnerist governors — Axel Kicillof, Ricardo Quintela, Gildo Insfrán and Gustavo Melella — were left off the invite list, underscoring their isolation.
  • The following day he replaced Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos with Manuel Adorni, resetting the channel to the provinces.
  • El Ancasti reports pre‑election assistance from the U.S. Treasury and President Donald Trump helped avert a financial collapse and shaped voter perceptions.
  • Fragmentation across the opposition, including infighting in kirchnerismo and stalled moves by Mauricio Macri, has left Milei as the leading anti‑kirchnerist figure backed by a newcomer‑heavy party.
