Overview
- At Thursday’s national tribute in Plaza San Martín, President Javier Milei hugged Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni on stage in a pointed show of support.
- The anti-corruption office PIA opened a preliminary file on possible misuse of the presidential aircraft linked to Adorni, and federal prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita requested detailed migration records for him and close family.
- Reporting describes a private flight to Punta del Este, the use of the presidential plane by Adorni’s wife during a U.S. trip, and recent real-estate purchases, which underpin court complaints alleging illicit enrichment.
- Vice President Victoria Villarruel skipped the Ushuaia events, while governors Axel Kicillof and Ricardo Quintela traveled to Tierra del Fuego to leverage the commemoration for visibility inside a divided Peronism ahead of 2027.
- Local observances reflected recent shocks, with San Cristóbal canceling its vigil after this week’s school shooting as other cities held ceremonies honoring veterans and Argentina’s sovereignty claim.
