Diego Santilli Appointed as Argentina's New Interior Minister

Diego Santilli has been officially appointed as the new Minister of the Interior, replacing Lisandro Catalán, who resigned last Friday. This role is key to the second stage of the administration, as he will handle close dialogue with the governors and provinces. Santilli stated that his goal is to "keep moving forward" with the reforms proposed by the ruling coalition. "If I take on this task, it is to contribute and keep moving forward," he said. "I will do whatever it takes to achieve the reforms we have committed to," he emphasized in comments to the TN channel. He insisted that "what happened last Sunday was a show of support from society for President Milei," referring to the legislative elections he won in Buenos Aires for La Libertad Avanza. "We came to an agreement with the PRO and did very strong work. A lot of things happened in between. He called me to chat." "The President's call surprised me," he added, noting they had spoken the other day, but not about this topic. "Obviously, I said yes instantly," Santilli detailed about his conversation with the head of state.
