Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni will hold a press conference this Wednesday at 11 a.m. at Casa Rosada, open to questions. The move is his own initiative to regain control of the public agenda amid criticism over trips and properties. Adorni will also meet ministers and appear with President Javier Milei.
Manuel Adorni, Argentina's Chief of Cabinet, resumes his press conferences this Wednesday, March 25, at 11 a.m. at Casa Rosada. The event, open to questions from accredited press, was not requested by President Javier Milei or Karina Milei, according to close sources. It is Adorni's own decision to counter internal and external criticism, aiming to regain political initiative and public agenda control, as his circle explains: “Manuel (Adorni) no se va a ir, por más que quieran” (Manuel won't go, no matter what they want).Adorni pairs the reappearance with meetings with ministers and his attendance on Friday at the inauguration of a Training Center for the Ministry of Human Capital in La Paternal, alongside President Milei and Minister Sandra Pettovello.His last solo conference was December 30, 2025. In 2026, he spoke only on February 6 with Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno to ratify a trade agreement with the United States.Criticism arose after a photo of his partner, Bettina Angeletti, in New York during “Argentina Week”; a video of his private jet trip to Punta del Este over carnival, with unclear funding explanations; and an undeclared property in her name at Country Indio Cuá in Exaltación de la Cruz. Rumors persist of more properties in San Isidro or Caballito.In this context, President Milei posted on Instagram: “La traición nunca viene del enemigo...sino de alguien que supo ganarse tu confianza” (Betrayal never comes from the enemy... but from someone who earned your trust). He later clarified: “Veo algunos periodistas... alterados por un reposteo mío... Si quieren una pista vayan a buscar a la que se cree que es “Sigfrida” (KAOS)” (I see some journalists... upset by my repost... If you want a clue, go look for the one who thinks she's “Sigfrida” (KAOS)).A libertarian circle source said: “Karina juega con el silencio, no con las órdenes” (Karina plays with silence, not orders), suggesting Adorni's move aims to cover himself with the Mileis.
