Argentine President Javier Milei appoints Diego Santilli as cabinet chief (chief of staff) after Manuel Adorni’s resignation amid a scandal, according to multiple outlets. Santilli is a former interior minister and a long-time political figure. The Buenos Aires Herald and Buenos Aires Times report that he keeps his interior minister role while taking on the new chief-of-staff position. The Rio Times also describes Santilli as an experienced political operator and notes that he becomes the fourth person to hold the cabinet-chief role under Milei.
The appointment is scheduled to be formalized on Tuesday, with a swearing-in planned for that day. While the sources differ slightly in emphasis—some link the change directly to the Adorni scandal—both confirm that Adorni leaves the position and Santilli is named as his replacement. No additional details about the underlying scandal are included in the provided excerpts.
