Overview
- President Javier Milei announced on X that Diego “Colo” Santilli will replace Lisandro Catalán as interior minister.
- Santilli was tasked with carrying conversations with governors and legislators to secure the consensuses needed for upcoming reforms in Congress.
- His promotion follows a surprise La Libertad Avanza win he led in Buenos Aires province after José Luis Espert withdrew from the race.
- The move extends an ongoing cabinet reordering that has continued since the departure of Guillermo Francos.
- The government is advancing labor changes that include a proposed “banco de horas,” and the CGT warned it will take forceful actions if there is no dialogue.
