Argentina's Chief of Staff Confirms His Place in Government

Buenos Aires, October 28, 2025 – Total News Agency – TNA – The Chief of Staff, Guillermo Francos, stated this Monday that he does not envision holding another position within the national government, amidst rumors of a possible cabinet reshuffle by President Javier Milei.

Francos reaffirms his place in the Government "After being Chief of Staff, what could I possibly ask of the President? I have fulfilled a role that the President values. I do not believe I am in a position to go to another place in the State," expressed the official in radio statements. In this way, Francos put an end to speculation about his possible departure or transfer to another area of the Executive.

Electoral balance and support for Milei The Chief of Staff highlighted that the triumph of La Libertad Avanza (LLA) was due, in large part, to the personal leadership of President Javier Milei, whom he considered "the engine of the campaign." "The people chose to support President Milei majority out of fear of the past, out of fear of populism, of what we had lived until December 2023, and which was leading us nowhere," he stated. According to Francos, the electoral result demonstrates "a bet on change" and marks "the beginning of a stage of political and economic stability."

New legislative correlation and stage of consensus The official expressed optimism regarding the legislative panorama that will open up from December, with the strengthening of the libertarian bloc in both chambers. "With more than 90 deputies and 20 senators, we will be able to move forward with the projects that the President announced publicly," stated Francos. He emphasized that the new scenario will allow "giving the real economy the framework for entrepreneurs to develop with security," highlighting that this objective "is achieved with legislative majorities." In this sense, the coordinating minister confirmed that the Government will maintain dialogue with the governors and provincial blocs to build agreements. "With only 35 national deputies and six senators we managed to pass important laws. This is nothing new. We are entering a stage of building consensus, because we have a larger bloc, but we still do not have the majority," he specified.
