The president Javier Milei defended again Manuel Adorni after the request of Patricia Bullrich so that the official explains his financial situation as soon as possible. “Bullrich actually spoiled what Manuel was going to do. He has everything ready to present himself (in reference to the sworn declaration of assets),” he said in relation to the Chief of Staff, who is being investigated in federal justice for alleged illicit enrichment.
“I am not going to execute an honest person”Milei warned in dialogue with Luis Majul and Esteban Trebucq on LN+. The president attacked the contractor who declared before federal prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita that Adorni paid him US$245,000 without an invoice for repairs to the country house Indio Cua.
“I am not going to execute on the altar of the ego of the journalists who felt touched, because they told the truth – that they are just journalists – to an honest person. That is what they are not going to understand,” he emphasized.
In addition, he minimized the political impact of supporting the chief of ministers due to the judicial investigation: “Political wear and tear does not matter to me because I deal with honest human beings who came to make Argentina great again. If you (the journalists) felt touched as a corporate group by something that Manuel said that is true, I’m sorry, but I am not going to be executing honest people because it is unfair.”
The President pointed out that the Chief of Staff has the numbers of his operations to present but that he will do so according to the “times of Justice.” “He is speaking precisely so that he can present them sooner and put an end to all these fantasies and lies engendered by a great liar like Mrs. (Marcela) Pagano. She is a compulsive liar,” he remarked.
Milei was also upset with the journalism and clarified: “I don’t answer to anyone. When I talk about 95% (of corrupt journalists) I know very well what I’m talking about. Journalism cannot violate the principle of presumption of innocence. They act as prosecutors, judges, pass sentences and put themselves above the Constitution. You think what you want, but it seems to me that you are not above the Constitution,” said Milei.
But He also attacked the contractor who made the repairs at Adorni’s country house. “And what evidence does the contractor have? They give authority to a Kirchnerist militant, whose record is very dubious. They were talking about a waterfall and then it turned out that they were two little water pipes. They have a predilection for giving value to lies,” he also said, attacking journalism.
And he added: “Has Justice already judged? Did it give value to the testimony? Justice has to investigate everything. I know that the testimony has no value. It was disfigured with things that I’m sure you also know.”
Milei stopped short about a possible departure of the Chief of Staff: “He’s not even going to leave“And he added: “No one is left with dirty fingers in my government. I executed all those who had stains. I didn’t stay with any. But I am calm that Adorni is a good person.”
“The things he presented to me were in order. When someone is dirty, I execute him. I came to write the best page in society, I am not going to let that get dirty. And I know that he is clean,” he further explained.
Regarding possible internal As a result of the complaint against Adorni, Milei stated: “I am the President, I make the decisions. If anyone doesn’t like it, let them ask me and they will have to comply or leave. I have protected every time they attacked one of my ministers with slander or lies and I am not going to change my way of protecting my collaborators when they are honest.”
He also assured that he does not govern for image, but to “make the best government in history” and added: “I am not going to stop doing the things that are right. My policies are fair, I do not execute innocents”.
About an alliance with Pro
In another part of the interview, the President anticipated the 2027 elections and spoke about a possible union with Pro to confront Kirchnerism. The president indicated that he feels “respect and affection” for Mauricio Macri and he said that, if he had seen him at Fundación Libertad, he would have greeted him.
“I always said that the Government has three lines of action: management (I work 16 hours a day and I am above the ministers in an almost unstoppable manner) and I dedicate myself to the cultural battle. I delegate politics and that is what they are working on. Nobody forgets that he was the first to beat Kirchnerism and supported this Government,” he explained.
Immediately afterwards, Milei insisted that “a team that wins does not change” and noted that Karina Milei He managed to make La Libertad Avanza a national party throughout the country in six months and won in 16 of the 24 districts in the last election. “The reality is that my sister seems to do this very well. Why would I be interfering? It’s called job differentiation,” he warned.
“In the last election we went to many places with Pro. The reality is that if everyone thought the same, no one thinks. “We encourage people to think differently to have a greater range of possibilities,” he added.
