Argentine President Javier Milei has dismissed his Chief of Staff, Nicolás Posse, in a significant shake-up of his administration. The decision came after President Milei and his closest collaborators became aware of information that reportedly compromised the outgoing official.

Sources indicate that Milei and his sister, Karina Milei, who holds a key position as Secretary General of the Presidency, made the final decision to remove Posse from his post. The news of the compromising information, which was already in the possession of journalists, reached the President early in the week, precipitating the swift action.

Posse's tenure as Chief of Staff was marked by his close relationship with Milei, having been a trusted confidant during the presidential campaign. His dismissal signals a potential shift in the dynamics of power and influence within the president's inner circle, raising questions about the future direction of the administration.
