Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos tonight dismissed rumors of his supposed departure from the National Government as 'low-quality rumors,' amid speculation about his tense relationship with advisor Luis Caputo. 'They've tried to kill me so many times, I've died so many times, and yet I'm here,' the official said, paraphrasing one of the most famous songs by singer-songwriter María Elena Walsh. In this regard, Francos attributed his possible departure from the government headed by Javier Milei to 'low-quality rumors' and warned that 'I would never tell the president it's him or me,' in reference to Luis Caputo, who is 'very capable.' Furthermore, in an interview with Todo Noticias (TN), he denied any possibility of including the Buenos Aires provincial governor, Axel Kicillof, in the governors' meetings: 'We will meet with everyone, except those who have very different ideas from ours.' Consequently, he ruled out Kicillof's presence: 'It is not worth summoning someone who is not seriously willing to analyze the moment Argentina is going through.' When asked about the election results, the coordinating minister stated: 'We did not expect what happened on Sunday. Yes, we expected to win nationally, but not by that much. And even less so to win the province of Buenos Aires. The expectation in the province was to narrow the margin and lose by a little.'
