President Javier Milei has reconfigured his cabinet and presented his legislative agenda for the coming months, marking a new direction with the appointment of Diego Santilli as Argentina's new Cabinet Chief (a role similar to a Prime Minister, coordinating the executive branch).
On June 30, 2026, at 5:30 PM in the Salón Blanco of the Casa Rosada (the seat of the Argentine government in Buenos Aires), Diego Santilli was sworn in as the new Cabinet Chief. He replaces Manuel Adorni, who resigned on June 27, 2026, following a wealth scandal involving a 775% increase in his personal assets. The ceremony was attended by 14 allied provincial governors, demonstrating strong regional political support.
Milei gathered legislators from his coalition, La Libertad Avanza, to announce the action pillars that will guide their work in the National Congress. The agenda includes:
The president's sister, Karina Milei, presented her work team that will assist in strategic management. This team is composed of Ignacio Devitt (Secretary of Strategic Affairs), Fabián Fernández (Secretary of Communication), Eduardo Menem (Undersecretary of Institutional Management), and Ariel Ferrentino (Communication Advisor).
The government's strategy focuses on highlighting the economic achievements reached during the first half of the year. Among the most prominent data are:
| Indicator | Data |
|---|---|
| BCRA Purchases in 2026 | USD 11,000 million |
| International Reserves | USD 47,081 million |
| Trade Surplus (Jan-May 2026) | USD 11,783 million |
These numbers reflect growing stability and austere management of public finances, fundamental pillars of the official discourse looking ahead to the 2027 presidential elections.
