Overview
- Chief of Staff Manuel Adorni confirmed his wife flew on the presidential aircraft to New York for Argentina Week, saying the Presidency invited her and that it added no cost to the State.
- Opposition lawmakers and lawyers filed complaints and requests, including a case assigned to Federal Court No. 3, a separate filing by Marcela Pagano, and a formal push to summon Adorni for interpellation with the option to seek censure.
- President Javier Milei, Karina Milei and senior ministers publicly backed Adorni, arguing critics misunderstand marginal cost and denouncing false or AI‑manipulated images, while the Official Response Office flagged a fake photo.
- Media published video and documents of Adorni’s private trip to Punta del Este, intensifying internal tensions; officials are probing possible leak sources with a review involving Santiago Caputo and Security Minister Alejandra Monteoliva, and some point to the airport security force PSA.
- Adorni apologized for his “deslomarse” remark about his work in New York, maintained that no public funds were misused, and is preparing for an expected management report and questioning in Congress in April.
