During an interview with A24, presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni commented on the controversy generated after the interruption of the interview with Javier Milei by Santiago Caputo, a key advisor to the president. Adorni explained that Caputo made the decision to stop the interview, arguing that nothing incorrect was said by Milei, but highlighting "the flaw of excellence" of Caputo.
Adorni also acknowledged that it was a mistake and mentioned that Caputo usually does not participate in interviews, so he may not have been aware of the dynamics of not interrupting under any circumstances. In the middle of the interview, a cut-off order was heard off-screen, but the unedited clip leaked on social media, generating speculation and comments about whether Jonatan Viale, the program host, would reveal more details about what happened that night.
The incident that triggered the controversy occurred when Milei mentioned the Minister of Justice, Mariano Cáneo Libarona, in the context of a question about the cryptocurrency Libra. Subsequently, Viale made an enigmatic statement on his social media, suggesting that he would not reveal more details about the episode. In his first public statement after the incident, Viale did not provide further details about the situation, maintaining a mystery surrounding what occurred during the interview on Todo Noticias (TN).
