The problems the government must solve, according to Catterberg.
Catterberg outlined four fundamental areas that the presidential palace must address before considering any changes to its structure. The expert stated that the government needs to regain the ability to control the public agenda, reduce internal divisions within "La Libertad Avanza," modify the current strategy of constant confrontation with the press, and move towards a broader political base. According to the consultant, failing to address these preliminary steps would leave the underlying problem unresolved.
The analyst explained that the government is going through a period of decline marked by a decrease in social support, and noted that, since the best period after the election, the libertarian administration has lost between 10 and 12 points in opinion polls, a decline he described as significant due to the speed of the process.

Alejandro Catterberg, director of the Poliarquía consulting firm, issued a warning about the stability of the national cabinet during his appearance on "Odisea Argentina" on LN+. The political analyst argued that Manuel Adorni's departure, rather than resolving the political crisis, could create new problems for President Javier Milei if deeper conflicts affecting the functioning of the national executive branch are not first addressed. The Adorni case and the government's image: Alejandro Catterberg on "Odisea Argentina." Catterberg detailed four fundamental areas that the Casa Rosada (Presidential Palace) must address before considering any changes to its structure. The specialist stated that the government needs to regain the ability to control the public agenda, reduce internal divisions within La Libertad Avanza (Milei's political party), modify the current strategy of constant confrontation with the press, and move towards a broader political base. According to the consultant, failing to take these preliminary steps would leave the underlying problem unresolved. The analyst explained that the government is going through a period of decline marked by a decrease in social support, and that since the best period after the election, the libertarian administration has lost between 10 and 12 points in polls, a decline he described as significant due to the speed of the process.

José Luis Espert, Javier Milei, Patricia Bullrich, and Manuel Adorni at Expoagro. In his analysis, he pointed out that the executive branch is suffering the impact of a combination of economic and political factors. Among these, he highlighted the influence of inflation on incomes and concerns about management practices. "That sector—the one represented by Bullrich—believed in the idea of 'we are different,'" the analyst said, emphasizing that recent scandals have eroded that perception. "There is nothing more elitist than getting on a private plane and going to Punta del Este," he emphasized, referring to the disillusionment of center-right sectors. Regarding internal divisions, he warned about hidden dynamics: "There is a second level, which is a little below the surface, that has to do with the power struggles linked to the judiciary, relationships with politics, and corruption." In light of this scenario, the consultant summarized his view on the role of the presidential spokesperson: "Having Adorni is a headache, but perhaps, removing him will quickly create a new headache."
