Milei Names Adorni Chief of Cabinet as Francos Resigns, Interior Minister Catalán Also Steps Down

The Presidency says the change responds to the election result to renew political dialogue.

Overview

  • The Office of the President accepted Guillermo Francos’ resignation and appointed presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni as Chief of Cabinet effective Monday.
  • Francos’ letter cited persistent rumors of cabinet changes, following a high-profile meeting with governors to build support for the 2026 budget and a package of labor, tax and penal code reforms.
  • Interior Minister Lisandro Catalán resigned minutes after Francos, and no successor was announced.
  • Javier Milei dined with PRO leader Mauricio Macri at Olivos that night as the government seeks congressional backing for its legislative agenda, according to multiple reports.
  • Media and government sources report broader changes under discussion — including a possible superministry led by adviser Santiago Caputo and shifts as Patricia Bullrich and Luis Petri move to Congress — though these plans remain unconfirmed.
