Manuel Adorni, chief of staff, will appear before the Chamber of Deputies on April 29, facing over 4,800 questions in a session that could last more than six hours. President Javier Milei will accompany him in the chamber. The opposition aims to expose him amid an alleged illicit enrichment case, while the government seeks to limit damage.
The session will start around 10 a.m. on Wednesday, April 29. Adorni will speak first, followed by question rounds by blocks: monoblocs, provincial groups, PRO, UCR, Unión por la Patria, and La Libertad Avanza.
The opposition plans a drawn-out afternoon with questions on Adorni's asset case, economy, and other sensitive areas, avoiding a scandal that could let the government play victim. In the Casa Rosada, they estimate over six hours and stress controlling the atmosphere to avoid an image of siege.
Milei's presence highlights any stumble by Adorni, a prominent officialista figure. A Monitor Digital report shows the 'Adorni case' generated 2.9 million social media mentions in the last month, with 88% negativity; 54% of hashtags against Milei and 34% against Adorni.
This presidentializes the conflict, embedding it in debates on governance, corruption, and economic crisis, per the analysis.
