Argentinian leader Javier Milei should not have chosen Manuel Adorni as cabinet chief, former President Mauricio Macri said, signaling tensions continue to simmer among the allies after last week’s mid-term election.

Macri described Adorni as “inexperienced” and a “mistaken” choice, according to a postBloomberg Terminal on X. The cabinet chief position should have gone to someone with a “more technical profile” and capable of strategic coordination such as Horacio Marin, the head of state-run oil company YPF, he said.
