Overview
- Guillermo Francos resigned as chief of cabinet and was replaced by Manuel Adorni, Diego Santilli was named interior minister, and Pablo Quirno became foreign minister as the President gathered the revamped team.
- La Libertad Avanza will hold 87 seats in the Chamber of Deputies after PRO defections and the expected replacement of Santilli’s seat, giving the bloc a one-seat buffer over the threshold that can block veto overrides and impeachment attempts.
- Javier Milei convened incoming LLA deputies for Tuesday at Casa Rosada and senators for Wednesday to prepare an expedited agenda centered on the 2026 Budget, a labor overhaul, tax changes and a new Penal Code under extraordinary sessions.
- Governors signaled mixed reactions to Santilli’s arrival as the federal interlocutor, with public support from Corrientes and Chubut contrasted by caution from other provinces that valued Francos’ moderating role.
- Peronism entered a period of open recrimination after its defeat, the next Congress will seat several union-aligned deputies for the labor reform debate, and reporting points to a continuing rivalry between Karina Milei’s camp and Santiago Caputo’s circle.
