The results of the latest national survey of the consulting firm’s Social and Political Humor Monitor were released D’Alessio IROL–Berensztein. With 1,100 cases confirmed throughout the country, carried out at the end of October of this year, the statistical study set out to list which officials have the best image in Javier Milei’s government.
The results were surprising: the resigned Chief of Staff, Guillermo Francosobtained first place for being considered the official with the best image of the national government. The former coordinator of ministers reached 46% positive image and 45% negative image. Second place went to Patricia Bullrich with 42% positive image and 53% negative image. Closing the podium, the brand new Minister of the Interior, Diego Santilli, It achieved 39% positive image and 55% negative image.
The president Javier Milei was positioned in fourth place. The libertarian president reached 38% positive image and 57% negative image. A visible decline, considering that the libertarian leader was always affirmatively leading this type of surveys and was never surpassed by ministers or officials in his space.
On the other hand, closing the top ten, the same consulting firm designated which officials and members of the LLA government have the worst image. Victoria Villarruel It was positioned eighth in the ranking, with 34% positive image and 56% negative. In the ninth box, Manuel Adorni It obtained 31% positive image and 55% negative. And, within the entire decalogue, the libertarian leader with the worst image was Martin Menem with only 26% positive image and 63 negative image.
Guillermo Francos presented his resignation as Chief of Staff to Javier Milei a few days after the legislative victory of La Libertad Avanza, citing in a public letter “the persistent rumors about changes in the National Cabinet” and arguing that his departure would allow the president to “face without conditions the stage of government that begins after the elections” on October 26.
In his message on networks, the former coordinator of ministers thanked “the opportunity to serve with loyalty and patriotism” and maintained that it was an honor to participate in “a transformative project… to set our country on a path of freedom and progress.” In that letter he also highlighted his role as political articulator: “my first act as Minister of the Interior and my last as Chief of Staff was to bring together the governors of the provinces… to find mechanisms for dialogue and consensus generation, essential to advance the structural reforms that Argentina needs.”
Francos later explained that his resignation occurred in the midst of an internal “campaign of attrition,” in which he felt pressure and decided to offer his departure to facilitate a recomposition of the Cabinet. A diplomatic justification to avoid naming the advisor Santiago Caputo with whom he had countless frictions during his administration. He also assured that his decision was reasonable, that he presented it “because he did not want to be a hindrance,” and that “he was clear that he had to make changes to the Cabinet and my departure made it easier for him.”
Considered a “dove”, the Casa Rosada immediately accepted his departure and appointed in his place Manuel Adorni, a renowned bishop of Karina Milei, as the new Chief of Staff. In the official Presidential statement, Francos was praised for his contribution during his two years in office, highlighting his participation in the approval of key laws such as the Bases Law.
