President Javier Milei took part in Saturday's central Flag Day ceremony in Rosario and reaffirmed his support for Cabinet chief Manuel Adorni with a public embrace.
The ceremony took place at the Monument to the Flag with Governor Maximiliano Pullaro and Mayor Pablo Javkin. Milei stated that Manuel Belgrano was the first liberal intellectual and the promoter of economic freedom.
Villarruel attended without an official invitation from the Casa Rosada and was not greeted by the president. After the event, the vice president said no one is more at odds with Belgrano's values than Adorni.
Pullaro said in his speech that Belgrano donated his fortune to found schools while others worked to enrich themselves. The government is delaying changes to the Fiscal Innocence Law due to the political impact of the Adorni case.
