Milei to convene cabinet to show unity amid Adorni scandal

President Javier Milei will meet this Monday at the Casa Rosada with key officials to show internal unity amid the turmoil caused by the irregularities of the Head of Cabinet, Manuel Adorni. For weeks, this case has stripped the Government of its political initiative. The Argentine News Agency confirmed that the Cabinet meeting will be at 12 noon, with the presence of all ministers and Adorni himself, whom the president and the Secretary General of the Presidency, Karina Milei, have renewed their support for, although without managing to get the scandals surrounding the official off the media agenda. After the blows the Executive received on this issue, the top libertarian leadership will seek to put the episode behind them again and order the internal front, defining the next steps. In this context, the ruling party has organized hyperactivity in Congress this week, where several issues will be addressed to regain control of the agenda. The Government has been trying to do this in recent days, but it has run into the emergence of new data about the controversies involving Adorni, which do not cease and complicate the plans of the ruling party. He faces complaints about the purchase of an apartment in Caballito and a house in a gated community in Exaltación de la Cruz, in addition to his flights to Punta del Este on private planes and his wife's presence on the official plane to travel to New York. The coordinating minister met on Wednesday in Olivos with Milei, who reaffirmed his support, and the next day the former spokesperson flanked the President at the Retiro ceremony for the fallen of the Falklands. The last Cabinet meeting had been on February 24, amid the internal debate in the ruling party on whether to keep the Head of Cabinet in his post.
