Milei Rallies Cabinet to Back Adorni at Congress as Asset Probes Mount

The display telegraphs a damage-control push under intensifying corruption inquiries.

Overview

  • Adorni’s management report in the Chamber of Deputies, set for Wednesday, will unfold under tight security with President Javier Milei, Karina Milei, and the full Cabinet in the balconies alongside up to 200 invited guests.
  • Opposition lawmakers Maximiliano Ferraro, Mónica Frade, and Esteban Paulón formally asked Speaker Martín Menem to curb partisan guests, protect press space, and ensure a neutral broadcast after earlier sessions saw disruptive outbursts from galleries.
  • Carlos Frugoni resigned from the Economy Ministry after reports of at least seven undeclared Miami properties and U.S. companies, and the PIA sought to question customs chief Andrés Vázquez over alleged omissions tied to Miami real estate and offshore structures.
  • Adorni faces judicial scrutiny for possible illicit enrichment linked to luxury purchases and travel, and congressional sources say the session will use capped question blocks that push the main opposition’s turn to later in the day.
  • New polling cited in coverage puts Milei’s approval near 34% as an official activity gauge fell 2.1% year over year, a mix that heightens pressure as the government’s unusual show at Congress fuels concern about partisan use of state staging.
