Chief of Staff Adorni comments on wife's travel controversy

Buenos Aires, March 14 (NA) -- The Chief of Staff, Manuel Adorni, referred again to the controversy generated by his wife's trip to New York in the presidential delegation, and tried to downplay it by stating that his partner, Bettina Angeletti, was invited by President Javier Milei. "The fact is that my wife was a guest of the President," he said when asked about the issue. According to what Argentine News Agency learned from an interview given to Forbes, Adorni indicated that, in the event of another invitation from the head of state, he would not take his partner on the presidential plane because it would lead to exposure where "a bunch of evil beings attack us." "Probably it doesn't make sense for her to travel with me abroad anymore. It's exposing ourselves to a bunch of evil and harmful beings with thousands of interests attacking us." He also announced that from now on they will have "more caution" to "not give them the possibility to dirty something that we do with all the energy we have" with the objective of "moving Argentina forward." In another part of the interview, he mentioned the trip to Punta del Este during Carnival: "They waited for the moment to do it, and evidently, they had a video saved from a month ago, when it was my trip to Uruguay." For the official, it is part of "the filth and mafia of an old politics that is not compatible with us." IP "Someone saved the video a month to find the right moment and make up a story where there is nothing illegal, unethical, or bad."
