Overview
- This week Manuel Adorni resigned as chief of staff and Interior Minister Diego Santilli was named his replacement to rebuild alliances and lead a more negotiation‑focused re‑election push for President Javier Milei.
- Milei used Independence Day events in Tucumán to signal that the administration will prioritize electoral strategy and parliamentary deals rather than the previous confrontational approach.
- Prosecutor Hugo Costilla issued a decree ordering urgent forensic tests that reopen lines of inquiry in the December 4, 2022 death of Social Development minister Juan Carlos Rojas and alleges that Fernando Rojas may have cleaned or altered parts of the crime scene.
- Iván Sarquís, the Rojas family lawyer, publicly rejected Costilla’s family‑centered hypothesis, defended Fernando Rojas’s actions and demanded inclusion of earlier announced evidence such as digital records reportedly tied to the house.
- Public‑order and legal pressures increased this week as police in Greater Buenos Aires killed four alleged robbers in three separate confrontations and an investor excluded from the $LIBRA memecoin probe appealed his removal to the Cámara Federal, a move that could change who can join the criminal case.
