Overview
- Decree 269/2026, published Thursday in the Boletín Oficial, takes immediate effect and rewrites the Cabinet Office’s structure and missions.
- The government folds the Secretariat of Communication and Press into the Cabinet Office and assigns the advisers’ unit to run press relations and the government’s messaging.
- Legal control over media and communications moves from the Presidency’s General Secretariat to the Cabinet Office’s legal arm, shifting authority once tied to Karina Milei into Manuel Adorni’s orbit.
- The Innovation Secretariat gains a wider brief that includes cybersecurity policy, rules for AI, blockchain and IoT, control of the SINTyS data exchange network that covers most residents, and oversight of ENACOM, CONICET, CONAE, AR-SAT and Correo Oficial.
- The Executive Secretariat now oversees the National Procurement Office that sets federal buying rules and runs the e-tender system, while the government says no new spending is required as local reports cite about 243 officials and an estimated 528 million pesos a month in pay and note concerns over concentrated power as Adorni faces judicial scrutiny.
