Argentine Political Scandal: Focus on Airport Police

A political scandal has erupted in Argentina involving a presidential advisor's trip. Versions of a senator's involvement and a possible information leak from airport security police officials are causing heated discussions within the government and opposition.


Argentine Political Scandal: Focus on Airport Police

Buenos Aires, March 13 (NA) – Although the government seeks to quell any internal noise and dismiss versions of conflicts arising from the controversial trip made by Bettina Angeletti, Manuel Adorni's partner, to New York, all eyes are on the Airport Security Police (PSA). The version that the Adorni scandal was generated by a leak stamped with advisor Santiago Caputo's seal has too much traction for many. Within the 'violet' force, some believe that the senator herself was responsible for shaping the versions indicating that the consultant was behind the leak against Adorni.

It has consistency because the head of the libertarian bloc is betting on being the candidate for head of government for the space in 2027, a position that is a priori reserved for the man who was the spokesperson. In Bullrich's circle, they rule out any noise in that direction but warn that the former minister has her own light and is above 'any dispute'.

'Patricia plays for Patricia,' they announced to account for the place she occupies on this board. As official sources told Argentine News Agency, the relationship between Adorni and Caputo has always been in tune. A fact that La Libertad Avanza highlights in this sense is that in the most complex moments of the Caputo and Martín and Eduardo Menem relationship, Adorni always sought balance. It was an attitude that one of the members of the iron triangle has not forgotten.

The Internal Conflict Libertarian looks are directed at the role of an area that is part of Minister of Security Alejandra Monteoliva's control board. More than that: despite being a pure man of Karina Milei, he managed to prevent in the advisor's area the landing of officials close to the Riojanos. And nothing more, there was no other expression. It is about the PSA, the body that has access to images and sensitive documents about who travels. In that force, there are more than enough reasons to suspect that there are still Kirchnerist elements working in that body and that they leaked sensitive information. They mention, among other points, the video of Adorni in Punta del Este or, further back in time, the trip to the same destination of the head of government of Buenos Aires, Jorge Macri, as soon as he took office.

Why, two years after Javier Milei's arrival, are there still 'K components' in a key area? This is a question that Monteoliva or her political boss, Patricia Bullrich, who held the portfolio for two years before becoming a senator, should answer, they say in La Libertad Avanza.
