Santilli Sworn In as Interior Minister as Milei Rewires Cabinet Powers

Officials plan fixes to a rushed reorganization decree after reports of drafting errors in the transfer of key areas.

Overview

  • Diego Santilli took the oath at the Casa Rosada, with his appointment formalized by Decree 794/2025 and the resignation of Lisandro Catalán accepted by Decree 792/2025.
  • A separate DNU (793/2025) reshaped the Law of Ministries by moving Communication, Tourism, Environment and Sports to the Jefatura de Gabinete led by Manuel Adorni, including personnel and budgets.
  • The same decree reassigned Migraciones and RENAPER to the Ministry of Security, though government sources now indicate a correction is being prepared that would return RENAPER to Interior, with Migraciones expected to stay in Security.
  • Santilli has begun meetings with allied governors and will start a provincial tour in Entre Ríos to build support for the 2026 budget and labor, fiscal and penal reform bills.
  • The changes expand Adorni’s institutional control over government messaging as Interior narrows to a political liaison role focused on securing votes during extraordinary sessions.
