Manuel Adorni was sworn in as the new chief of staff of the Argentine government on Wednesday, Nov. 1, 2024 [1, 2].
The appointment signals a consolidation of President Javier Milei's inner circle as the administration seeks to implement its governing agenda. The chief of staff serves as a critical link between the presidency and the various ministries of the state.
The ceremony took place at the Salón Blanco within the Casa Rosada in Buenos Aires [1]. During the proceedings, Adorni took an oath by God, the homeland, and the Holy Gospels to fulfill his duties with loyalty to the national constitution and the president [1].
Adorni was appointed by President Milei to ensure the executive branch maintains a cohesive strategy in its legislative and administrative goals [1]. The role of jefe de Gabinete is central to the coordination of government policy and the management of the public administration.
While some reports from La Tercera suggested a different individual named "Chocair" was part of the cabinet changes, primary reporting from MSN and Yahoo confirmed Adorni as the individual sworn into the position [1, 2].
Adorni said he would fulfill the role with loyalty to the Constitution and to Javier Milei [1].
“Manuel Adorni juró este miércoles por Dios, por la Patria y los Santos Evangelios”
The appointment of Manuel Adorni reflects President Milei's preference for high-trust loyalists in pivotal administrative roles. By placing a trusted ally as chief of staff, the presidency aims to reduce friction within the cabinet and accelerate the execution of its economic and political reforms.
