Overview
- Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni will remain in the Casa Rosada to handle day-to-day management while President Javier Milei travels to Switzerland.
- Vice President Victoria Villarruel is formally designated to be in charge during the trip, but the presidential circle is positioning Adorni as the operational point of contact.
- Milei is traveling with Karina Milei, Economy Minister Luis Caputo and Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno, and he is slated to deliver his Davos address on Wednesday.
- The decision is tied to preparations for February’s extraordinary sessions, where the government plans to pursue labor reform, changes to the Glaciers Law and progress on a Mercosur–EU accord.
- Tensions with Villarruel flared after her Patagonia visit to fire-hit areas, which the Casa Rosada criticized, and a claim she requested a helicopter was disputed by her team.
