Milei and Francos Define the Future of the Cabinet

President Javier Milei and Chief of Staff Guillermo Francos could hold a meeting in the coming hours to define the official's future, amidst rumors of a reshuffle in his team of collaborators. In recent days, it circulated that Francos had requested a meeting with the president to analyze his permanence or departure from the post, amidst rumors that point to presidential spokesperson and Buenos Aires City legislator-elect Manuel Adorni as a possible successor to the Chief of Cabinet, loyal to Karina Milei. Also at stake are issues related to foreign investment and the nexus with the United States, as they have internally recognized the important management he did during Milei's last trip, where the President was received by Donald Trump at the White House. Milei's words "I don't make decisions based on the needs of journalism," warned President Milei this Thursday in a television interview when asked about when the changes in the Cabinet will be known. YELLOW ALERT for Zonda wind and strong storms in these provinces Milei and Francos define the future of the Cabinet "Francos is calm," sources close to the official limited themselves to saying, who until this Friday afternoon stated they did not know if a meeting between the two had already taken place. A departure by Francos would also leave his trusted man and current Minister of the Interior, Lisandro Catalán, in a vulnerable position, who assumed that position just a month and a half ago. The role of Santiago Caputo and rumors of a "superministry" Amidst the flurry of versions, one speaks of the arrival of advisor Santiago Caputo to the Interior portfolio, but with a "superministry" structure with several areas under its orbit and a more emptied Chief of Cabinet, with an Adorni from there maintaining a spokesperson role similar to the one he has developed so far. Other rumors point to the "star advisor" taking charge of a new Ministry that will be created for him to develop multiple functions that he has been carrying out for a long time "in the shadows." Among them are the dialogue with governors, opposition legislators, union and business leaders. And he added that the modifications to his team will be known "when he deems it necessary".
