    Milei abolishes the Interior Ministry, expanding Santilli's role ahead of Congress talks

    President Javier Milei had anticipated the reform after appointing Santilli to replace Manuel Adorni, who resigned last week amid a judicial investigation into alleged illicit enrichment

    Argentina's government abolished the Interior Ministry and transferred its functions to the cabinet chief's office, headed by Diego Santilli, through an emergency decree published on Thursday in the Official Gazette. The measure places the political relationship with governors, provinces, municipalities, the City of Buenos Aires and Congress under the coordinating minister's remit, along with powers over the electoral system and political parties. With the change, the national cabinet is reduced to eight ministries.
