The Inspector General of the Air Force, Hugo Dirié, is embroiled in a scandal for having taken his secretary, Camila Baigorria, on a military helicopter and to the exclusive Air Force hotel in Vicente López. Baigorria, a soldier without training to fly a military helicopter, shared photos and videos of this experience on social media, causing unrest among members of the Air Force.
This case has sparked criticism due to Baigorria's apparent lack of experience and rank to access such privileges reserved for qualified personnel, especially after a similar incident led to the retirement of her predecessor for the misuse of aircraft. Despite the criticism, the government is considering promoting Dirié, which has increased the controversy amidst the whole situation.
Additionally, a song has been created that has become emblematic of the internal discontent within the Air Force, referencing helicopter rides, visits to the military hotel, and questionable selfies taken by the Inspector General's secretary. Baigorria's social media images reveal intimate moments in Dirié's office, including a personal bathroom with clothes thrown on the floor, which has fueled speculation about the relationship between the two.
The situation has led to Baigorria being transferred to another position in an attempt to calm the waters, although she has hinted that she has compromising information that could harm high-ranking officials. Dirié's superiors have demanded that the Inspector General choose between his position and his relationship with the soldier to protect the reputation of the Air Force, already damaged by this scandal.
Amidst these events, the Air Force is facing an internal crisis as investigations into the case are underway. The brigadier's cumbia continues to echo in the halls of the Cóndor Building as a symbol of the tensions and lack of discipline affecting the institution, raising doubts about whether the abuses of power that have become frequent in the military high command can be put to an end.
