Overview
- Guillermo Francos and Interior Minister Lisandro Catalán resigned, and the Presidency designated Adorni to replace Francos with his swearing‑in expected early next week, reported for either Monday or Wednesday.
- Adorni praised Francos’ role as a “completed cycle” and said his mandate is to coordinate ministers and push labor, tax and penal‑code reforms through federal consensus with governors.
- Santiago Caputo is widely reported as the likely successor at Interior, though no official appointment has been announced.
- Further changes are in motion: Pablo Quirno was confirmed for Foreign Affairs, Patricia Bullrich plans to leave Security with deputy Alejandra Monteoliva seen as the probable replacement, Justice Minister Mariano Cúneo Libarona resigned with Sebastián Amerio cited as likely, and Defense could pass to Xavier Isaac when Luis Petri becomes a deputy.
- Adorni will not take the Buenos Aires City legislature seat he won, and Javier Lanari is expected to assume the government spokesperson role as communications are reorganized.
