Chief of Staff Manuel Adorni announced on Wednesday in a Casa Rosada press conference a deregulation package including the Hojarasca law to repeal over 70 obsolete norms, the sending of 60 judicial appointments to the Senate, and the concession of the Chapadmalal complex.
In his first press conference after controversies over overseas trips, Chief of Staff Manuel Adorni outlined the government's agenda from Casa Rosada. He confirmed the government is finalizing the Hojarasca law, repealing over 70 obsolete laws, alongside other deregulation measures spanning cabotage to the insurance industry, as ratified by Minister Federico Sturzenegger on social media. “We add to the private property project announced today, the 'Hojarasca' one that repeals more than 70 obsolete laws. The deregulation package will go from cabotage to the insurance industry,” Sturzenegger wrote, adding: “As President Milei requests, Argentina will be the freest country in the world.”Adorni stated the Justice Ministry will send 60 appointments for judges, prosecutors, and public defenders to the Senate to fill part of the 364 vacancies in the federal judiciary, which operates at 60% capacity. He also announced a 30-year concession for the Chapadmalal hotel complex to attract private investment and reduce state burden. Additionally, he confirmed he will present his management report in the Lower House on April 29.Amid questions about his assets and flights, Adorni defended himself: “I have nothing to hide, I built my patrimony before entering the Government, in the 25 years I was in the private sector.” He assured that “all officials have their resignation at the disposal” of President Javier Milei since December 10, 2023. Milei and his sister Karina publicly backed Adorni on social media.
