Overview
- President Javier Milei backed spokesman Manuel Adorni on Twitter yet left him off the presidential trip to Hungary, a move read as creating distance.
- Kirchnerist leaders and leftist figures stepped up demands for Adorni’s ouster, and former president Alberto Fernández urged Milei to resign.
- Political and media circles floated possible replacements, with names such as Diego Santilli, Sandra Pettovello, Karina Milei, and, per Clarín, José Luis Manzano.
- Fresh polling by Tres Punto Zero found 43.8% cite low pay as their top personal problem and 59.0% say they cannot wait any longer for wage or pension relief.
- The controversy cuts at the government’s anti-elite message as unemployment rises, monthly inflation sits near 3%, and closures like tire maker Fate deepen public frustration.
