Milei Plans Post‑Election Cabinet Shake‑Up, Tying Scope to Oct. 26 Results

The scope will hinge on the vote tally, with a KarinaCaputo power struggle shaping key choices.

Overview

  • In a TV Pública interview, Javier Milei said he will reorganize his cabinet after the legislative vote to push “second‑generation” reforms, deciding the structure once full results are known.
  • Reporting points to discussions about formally bringing adviser Santiago Caputo into government, potentially replacing Foreign Minister Gerardo Werthein, and journalist Luis Majul suggested Werthein would resign if that occurs.
  • Clarín reports that merging the Security and Justice portfolios remains under consideration, with Mar del Plata mayor and senator‑elect Guillermo Montenegro floated for a senior Justice role.
  • The rivalry between Karina Milei and Santiago Caputo is described as central to the selection process, with Karina Milei and Mauricio Macri cited as opponents of a Montenegro appointment.
  • Milei has not ruled out incorporating figures from the PRO, and some analysis suggests a weaker showing could revive talk of a broader unity cabinet to bolster governability.
