Manuel Adorni, who was elected to the Buenos Aires Legislature, was appointed as the new Chief of Staff after giving up his seat. In an interview with Luis Majul, Adorni justified his decision by stating, "I always said I would be where the President asks me to be." He also launched an economic criticism aimed at Buenos Aires Province Governor Axel Kicillof, challenging him to "explain how to spend infinite money without having the resources." Adorni also defended himself against accusations of being a 'testimonial candidate,' calling the practice a 'fraud.' He clarified that a 'testimonial candidate' is someone who knows in advance they will not take office, whereas in his case, he simply answered the President's call.
