Chief of Staff Manuel Adorni will face press questions on Friday at 1 p.m. just before a cabinet meeting, as a judicial probe into alleged illicit enrichment advances.
President Javier Milei reaffirmed his support for Adorni and said the official will advance the filing of his asset declaration before July 31. "Manuel Adorni will present the papers before July 31, he has them so there is no problem," Milei stated after returning from Los Angeles.
Patricia Bullrich, head of the La Libertad Avanza bloc in the Senate, demanded speed. "If there is no forcefulness and no speed, the project and the country suffer," Bullrich said, asking Adorni to present his asset declaration immediately to avoid the impression that "we are the same as those we came to run against."
The Justice system is analyzing transfers and movements in virtual wallets linked to Adorni, with amounts that could reach around 100,000 dollars. Prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita added data on an inheritance from the official's father: 33 percent of an apartment in La Plata and a plot of land in Daireaux.
The opposition in the Chamber of Deputies requested a special session for May 14 to question Adorni, with a possible censure motion.
