A short week due to the holiday, with trips abroad by some officials and Argentina’s participation this Tuesday in the Soccer World Cup. The combo serves as a perfect excuse in the government of Javier Mileiwhich at the moment does not foresee cabinet or political table meetings this week. The President, his sister and general secretary of the Presidency, Karina Mileiand the rest of the cabinet hold their breath, waiting for the interpellation requests opposition that will begin in the Senate committee this Wednesday, and that could culminate in a motion of censure to remove the chief of staff from his position, Manuel Adorniincreasingly complicated by the political and judicial implications of its asset growth.
The political table meeting last Thursday, which the Minister of Economy was absent, Luis Caputo (tomorrow he returns from Buenos Aires from a trip for family reasons), had as its main seasoning the repercussions of the interview that Adorni conducted with LN+in which the coordinating minister acknowledged having saved half a million dollars “in the black”, between an alleged family inheritance and investments in cryptocurrencies, to justify the purchase of houses and trips abroad. At that meeting, as he said THE NATIONthe senator Patricia Bullrich He told Adorni himself that he was “destroying the symbolic capital of the Government” by staying in office. The senator would also have raised with Karina Milei, without success, the possibility of Adorni asking for leave while the opposition onslaught and the negative repercussions of his statements continue.
The President and his sister, meanwhile, continue to defend him. In the Government there are official sources who assured that they will not displace him until he does not interfere with the economic direction. Today, the president reposted a message from the user @mileibarrial. “There are many people who fail to understand that Javier Milei does not belong to the old politics, nor does he move under the cynical logic of permanent expediency. For him, morality, loyalty, convictions and genuine human relationships mainly matter.” A way to justify Milei’s defense of Adorni, subjected, according to the Government, to a “media carnage,” the post says.
With the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Martin Menemon an official trip to Israel, and Bullrich convinced that Adorni should step aside, no senior official in the ruling party seems to be systematically seeking to avoid questioning Adorni. The Minister of the Interior, Diego Santillihas a new round of meetings with governors scheduled for this Tuesday (Leandro Zdero, from Chaco; Marcelo Orrego, of San Juan, and Gustavo Melella, of Tierra del Fuego), but “to talk about the electoral reform” that includes the suspension of the PASO, as clarified by the head of the political portfolio. “He is not going to ask us for any of that, it is of no use to him, he is with his project of being governor,” they reasoned before THE NATION near one of the governors who, in the last hours, spoke with Santilli.
Those close to Adorni affirmed that the chief of staff “is fine, with the support of the President.”
Milei’s travels
While he assures that he will not remove Adorni, those close to Milei are already designing his agenda for the next few days, with three trips abroad. In addition to his participation, on Saturday the 20th, in the tributes for Flag Day, in Rosario, official sources confirm a new trip by Milei to Spain, starting next Wednesday the 24th and for three days, in which he will offer a conference and have meetings with businessmen at the San Pablo University, with no planned contacts with the socialist government. Pedro Sanchez.
His attendance at the Mercosur summit, on June 30 in Asunción, Paraguay, and his trip to the United States for the celebrations of that country’s independence, on July 4, celebrations led by the president, were already confirmed. donald trump.
The President’s trip to Spain would take place hours after a scheduled session in the Chamber of Deputies, in which a motion of censure against Adorni could be discussed, although everything will depend on how the interpellation requests progress, this week in the Senate.
