In the Government they regret not being able to capitalize politically videos with dollars that commit to Martin Insaurraldeformer mayor of Lomas de Zamora and leader of the Buenos Aires PJ. The case of Manuel Adornithe Chief of Staff of Javier Milei investigated for illicit enrichment, this time avoided the reaction of the libertarian digital troops, who abstained and did not come out to differentiate themselves from Kirchnerism as in other episodes of alleged corruption.
The reason for the libertarian passivity was none other than being immersed in the echoes of the case of alleged illicit enrichment involving the Chief of Staff, investigated for more than three months by the federal judge. Ariel Lijo and the prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita.
In different offices of the ruling party they admitted that they could not capitalize on the dissemination, after THE NATION released a series of seven videos. “At another time it would have been a huge opportunity to show the vices of the old politics, but this time it was not possible,” lamented a libertarian voice. She wasn’t the only one. “What was seen was impudent, but impossible to come out now to say something. A mischief,” he concluded.
In the ruling party they know that today any post is close to receiving negative comments because of Adorni, but much more so something with this connotation. “It’s not the same, but it’s not the time to go out and point anything out,” said another official leader.
The videos revealed on Saturday by THE NATION added a new chapter in the case that investigates the media Jessica Wanda Judith Cirio already Insaurraldeher ex-husband, for alleged illicit enrichment and money laundering. Insaurralde was mayor of Lomas de Zamora, chief of staff of Axel Kicillof and a man close to Cristina and Máximo Kirchner. At another time it was all profit for the ruling party; not this time.
In the images, Cirio is seen inside a men’s dressing room surrounded by several wads of dollars. “It has all the ingredients of what we always criticize, but now, at least for a while, it is impossible to say something without generating an adverse reaction, even more so from one’s own,” they argued in an official office from which they follow the climate generated by the Adorni case on the thermometer of the networks.
The impact on networks
The coordinating minister himself barely added a story to the social network Instagram in the last few hours, with the advance of the right in Latin America. While his last two posts in his account feed, in less than 48 hours, were not with his presence in Rosario, during the Flag Day event, and another this morning, with his welcome meeting to Adrian Ravierwho will replace him as spokesperson. All the comments were devastating.
From dozens of resignation requests to jokes. “You gave him data about the waterfalls,” were some of the messages that different users left him in each of his posts. Those who closely follow these movements on networks recognize that a good part of these comments are from their own voters, according to official sources.
Along with resignation, there are those who are looking at what may be the “turn of the page” that they hope will be the arrival of Ravier, the brand new spokesperson, in the position that Adorni originally held. But three months ago, when the scandal began, he was effectively prevented from continuing to do so.
“The Government moved forward by making the decision to incorporate a new spokesperson. This change is in the right direction. We are looking for an economist, outsider, young and fresh, who represents a return to the bases of the purest mileism,” enthused a source from the Casa Rosada. And he added: “We did not have a spokesperson, and many opportunities to communicate were lost.” The ruling party is anxiously waiting for this scenario to begin to change.
