Overview
- At a Casa Rosada presentation, Manuel Adorni took over as chief of cabinet with his oath slated for this week and he will absorb the presidential spokesperson role with fewer press briefings, while Javier Lanari was named secretary of Communication reporting to the cabinet office.
- Diego Santilli was appointed interior minister and added to the presidential political table in place of Guillermo Francos, taking point on talks with provinces and legislators as allies signal the possibility of extraordinary sessions in December.
- Pablo Quirno assumed the Foreign Ministry and held talks in which U.S. official Christopher Landau conveyed support for President Javier Milei’s reform program, according to a State Department statement by spokesperson Tommy Pigott.
- Internal dynamics shifted as Karina Milei consolidated influence and strategist Santiago Caputo maintained behind‑the‑scenes power, participating in the new cabinet meeting despite holding no formal ministry.
- Mauricio Macri questioned Adorni’s experience for the new post, and Adorni responded in interviews that the criticism was unfair and cited his management track record in government communications.
