Overview
- Legal scrutiny widened after the homeowner who rented to Manuel Adorni told prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita that $21,000 in home expenses tied to the chief of cabinet were paid in cash, and a separate inquiry opened into his brother Francisco’s asset filings.
- The opposition in the lower house postponed its push to question Adorni after some partner blocs refused to break with the presidency, forcing leaders to seek broader support for a new session.
- Adorni kept his public schedule by traveling with Economy Minister Luis Caputo to open the El Quemado solar park in Mendoza, the first project approved under the Regime of Incentives for Large Investments, a program designed to attract big capital.
- The El Quemado project, developed by YPF Luz with origins in provincial firm Emesa, drew roughly $210–211 million in financing and is billed as one of Argentina’s largest photovoltaic builds.
- Governors seen as friendly to the administration warned the case is hurting the government’s standing, while the Senate pulled a US$171 million holdout-payment bill from debate after the Economy Ministry sent a last-minute amendment, sending it back to committee.
