US EditionArgentina’s Chief of Staff Resigns, Heralding Change for President Milei After Election Win
Guillermo Francos resigned to enable President Milei’s government to proceed freely after a strong midterm election win, with Manuel Adorni set to replace him as chief of staff.
- On Friday, Guillermo Francos resigned as chief of staff, days after the October 26 midterm elections, and confirmed his exit in a public letter to President Javier Milei.
- After weeks of speculation, Francos resigned, citing his reason that he stepped aside so Milei could face the next stage of government without constraints, as he stated in his letter.
- Francos, 75, has served two key positions in Milei's government; appointed last year after Interior Minister, he thanked the president and pledged ongoing support in his farewell letter.
- Manuel Adorni, Presidential Spokesperson, will replace Francos as Cabinet chief starting Monday, known for combative press conferences, while Santiago Caputo, top presidential adviser, will lead a new 'super' Interior Ministry.
- President Javier Milei views the cabinet change as a step toward his free-market reform agenda, with $40 billion pledged from a friendly Trump administration supporting his efforts.
