Milei Taps Manuel Adorni as Chief of Cabinet, Duties Begin Monday

The appointment centralizes government messaging to push urgent labor, tax and penal‑code reforms.

Overview

  • Guillermo Francos resigned after days of speculation and called his tenure a completed cycle, with Interior Minister Lisandro Catalán also stepping down.
  • Adorni will keep a leading communications role from the Casa Rosada, with Javier Lanari widely expected to take over daily briefings, though not yet formally announced.
  • The Presidency said Adorni starts coordinating ministers on Monday, with his swearing‑in slated for Wednesday.
  • Adorni will forgo the Buenos Aires City legislature seat he won in May; list substitute Tomás Kohen is set to assume the post.
  • Mauricio Macri publicly criticized replacing Francos with someone he called inexperienced and floated YPF chief Horacio Marín as an alternative, while reports say a promotion for adviser Santiago Caputo is under consideration but unconfirmed.
