Milei Names Diego Santilli Interior Minister To Lead Reform Negotiations

The move caps a post‑election reshuffle, with a cabinet meeting Monday followed by an expected swearing‑in this week.

Overview

  • Santilli takes over from Lisandro Catalán, who resigned days earlier as part of the government’s reordering.
  • Milei said Santilli will steer talks with governors and legislators to build consensus on labor, tax and penal reforms and the 2026 budget.
  • New chief of cabinet Manuel Adorni confirmed a full cabinet meeting for Monday at 9:30 a.m. in the Casa Rosada.
  • Reports indicate Santilli’s formal oath could occur Wednesday, alongside Adorni’s swearing‑in.
  • The appointment sidelines a rumored promotion for presidential adviser Santiago Caputo, who remains in his advisory role, and elevates a PRO veteran elected on La Libertad Avanza’s Buenos Aires list.
