The recent resignation of Guillermo Francos and the assumption of Manuel Adorni mark the third change in this crucial position, fundamental for the political and administrative coordination of the country. This reshuffle highlights the executive's management dynamics and the constant search for a profile capable of balancing internal management with political articulation.
Adorni, known for his role as presidential spokesperson, is set to take one of the most important positions in the administration. His assumption has been justified by the Government as a need to "renew the political dialogue" and advance with greater firmness in structural reforms. Adorni is seen as a man of utmost trust within the President's inner circle. This move is interpreted as a step towards a management style that will prioritize the consolidation of reforms and a more direct communication, aligned with the original message of La Libertad Avanza, seeking to print the same firmness that characterized his press conferences as spokesperson.
**The Impact of Francos' Resignation**
Guillermo Francos, with a negotiator's profile and extensive knowledge of traditional politics, was the Government's main interlocutor with the provinces and much of the opposition. He was the first Coordinator of the Cabinet, leaving amidst strong internal conflicts.
**Loss of the "Articulator"**: Francos was seen as the most pragmatic and dialogue-friendly face.
**Impact on the Interior**: Francos' resignation coincided with the resignation of the Minister of the Interior, Lisandro Catalán, leaving the Government without its two main links with the governors.
**Strengthening the Hard Core**: The assumption of Adorni and the expectation that Santiago Caputo may take on a more formal role are interpreted as a reinforcement of the President's hard core and inner circle of trust.
**A New Profile for the Chief of Staff**
The appointment of Manuel Adorni as the new Chief of Staff marks a change in approach. He is the first former presidential spokesperson to hold this role. It is expected that the new Chief of Staff will drive the legislative agenda with the ideological and communicational imprint that characterized his tenure as spokesperson.
**The Evolution of Power: A New Stage**
The changes in the Chief of Staff—from Posse (technocratic and silent), to Francos (political and dialogue-oriented), and now to Adorni (communicator and with close ties to the presidential circle)—reflect the different phases and political needs of the Milei government.
**The Complete List of Milei's Chiefs of Staff**
Since Javier Milei took office, the position of Chief of Staff has been one of the most closely watched, reflecting the different stages and priorities of the administration.
1. **Manuel Adorni**: From November 2025. Profile focused on the communication of the government's agenda and the deepening of structural reforms. 2. **Guillermo Francos**: May 2024 - October 2025. Political and dialogue-oriented profile, key in negotiations with governors and in Congress. 3. **Nicolás Posse**: December 2023 - May 2024. Technocratic profile with a low public profile, former colleague of Milei's at Corporación América.
