President Javier Milei announced on Sunday the appointment of Diego Santilli as new Chief of Cabinet following Manuel Adorni's resignation. The change was made official with a photo at Quinta de Olivos alongside Karina Milei.
Milei confirmed that Santilli, until now Interior Minister, will take the post. The president explained that the Interior Ministry will be merged with the Chief of Cabinet to strengthen work with governors and advance reforms.
Santilli's swearing-in is scheduled for Tuesday at 16:00. In his first message, Santilli stated: “Asumo el desafío más importante de mi vida con el compromiso de seguir trabajando para que este Gobierno siga haciendo historia”.
Mauricio Macri welcomed the decision and said it will help “recuperar un poco de la tranquilidad que necesita el país”. Patricia Bullrich also expressed support and announced she will back the management from Congress.
Karina Milei called deputies and senators from La Libertad Avanza to a meeting on Wednesday at Casa Rosada to reorganize the legislative agenda for the second half of the year.
