Argentina President Javier Milei reshuffles cabinet and accelerates judicial appointments ahead of 2027 elections

Senator Nadia Márquez said the Milei administration has filled more than 300 vacant federal judicial posts, highlighting the recent swearing‑in of Judge Pablo Antonio Matkovic in Neuquén. Diego Santilli was appointed chief of staff, reaffirming his alignment with President Milei and pledging to push legislative reforms, including an electoral overhaul and a 2026‑27 economic programme, while seeking parliamentary consensus for a 2027 re‑election bid. The government scheduled a short, intensive political week to reorder its agenda, featuring a meeting of the political table led by Karina Milei and adjusted around the World Cup schedule, to set priorities for legislation and economic financing. In La Pampa, a dispute between former deputy Adrián Ravier and “Lule” Menem over control of the La Libertad Avanza party resurfaced after a court ruling cut the party’s funding for a year and opened a criminal probe. Meanwhile, Ignacio Devitt was named vice chief of staff, reflecting the growing influence of Karina Milei and his connections to the PRO and private sector within the Milei government.
