Overview
- In a March 20 interview on Splendid AM990, former president Alberto Fernández publicly criticized Jefe de Gabinete Manuel Adorni.
- Fernández said Adorni was “very cruel” when judging others and argued that preaching morality makes any misstep turn against him.
- He said it makes no legal difference whether Adorni’s trips were rented or paid for and alleged a house in a country club tied to Adorni was never declared.
- He mocked Adorni’s recent travel to the United States and referenced a trip to Uruguay, rejected the “marginal cost is zero” defense, and noted no relatives boarded the presidential plane during his tenure.
- Defending his own record, Fernández cited ongoing prosecutions including the $Libra case and renewed his criticism of Mauricio Macri’s $57 billion debt.
