Argentina's President Javier Milei's top aide and Cabinet chief has resigned amid a spiraling corruption scandal, according to The Associated Press. The resignation marks a significant blow to Milei's administration, which has been grappling with allegations of misconduct.
Resignation Details
The Cabinet chief, whose name was not disclosed in the initial report, stepped down on June 27, 2026, following mounting pressure from opposition parties and public outrage. The scandal involves allegations of bribery and misuse of public funds, though specific details remain under investigation.
Impact on Milei's Government
This resignation is the latest in a series of challenges for Milei, who took office in 2023 on a platform of anti-corruption and economic reform. The scandal threatens to undermine his credibility and could impact upcoming elections for the Buenos Aires city legislature, where Milei ally Manuel Adorni is a contender.
According to political analysts, the scandal may erode public trust in Milei's ability to deliver on his promises. The president has not yet commented publicly on the resignation.
