Summary
Diego Santilli was set to assume Argentina’s cabinet chief role Tuesday afternoon, becoming President Javier Milei’s top coordinator after a fresh government shake-up.
Manuel Adorni, a leading Milei ally, resigned days earlier as allegations of impropriety deepened, prompting the cabinet change.
Santilli’s elevation marks a sharp turn for Milei, who won power promising to dismantle the political elite he branded “the caste.”
The move underscores how corruption scandals are pushing Milei to rely on an established operator from the very establishment he once vilified.
