Following the controversy over the trip to New York, the President asked the Chief of Cabinet to accompany him to an event at the Córdoba Stock Exchange and another with the Grenadiers. The official resumes his duties, and a political committee meeting is scheduled for Tuesday.

Upon his return to Argentina after his international tour of the United States and Spain, President Javier Milei will ratify his support this Monday for Manuel Adorni. Adorni had been questioned by certain sectors for bringing his wife on one of those trips. The President intends to show solidarity by appearing alongside him in several official activities.

Now back in the country, the national leader has a series of scheduled events. He has specifically added the Chief of Cabinet to these appearances as a gesture of backing and a confirmation that the official remains firmly in his position.

In fact, Adorni—who also serves as the government spokesperson—has been adjusting his schedule. After delaying his return to Buenos Aires, he had to postpone the political committee meeting by one day. That meeting will now take place at the Casa Rosada on Tuesday to define the legislative strategy for the next set of reforms the libertarian administration seeks to push.

Originally, this meeting was supposed to happen last week, but Adorni stayed in New York for a few extra days—while the rest of the delegation returned on Wednesday—due to additional tasks in that city. Consequently, the summons for the political committee was initially moved to Monday, but it was later confirmed for Tuesday.

This final decision was made because Milei requested the Chief of Cabinet accompany him during his speech at the Córdoba Stock Exchange, marking his seventh visit to the institution. The libertarian leader is set to speak at 12:30 PM at the entity’s headquarters, accompanied by his sister and General Secretary, Karina Milei.

During the day, the President is expected to pivot back to local political discussions. In his recent international speeches, he defended his economic plan and targeted “prebendary businessmen,” and he is likely to continue that narrative domestically.

According to official sources confirmed by Infobae, the two will later appear together at an event with the Grenadiers, a setting where the President reportedly feels very comfortable.

The delay of the political meeting wasn’t the only fallout from the Adorni controversy. In Buenos Aires, for instance, the La Libertad Avanza bloc postponed the presentation of several projects aimed at capturing the local agenda; though ready, they were only submitted this Monday.

In recent days, the Chief of Cabinet has been the focus of criticism for including his wife, Bettina Angeletti, on the passenger list of the official plane that took the delegation to the U.S. for “Argentina Week.”

“I believe everything that happened this week wasn’t against me; it was against the Government. It was one more blow in an attempt to destabilize it. They had a video of me saved for a month,” Adorni commented in a dialogue with Luis Majul.

He also addressed questions regarding a trip to Punta del Este in a private plane, noting that “the video is clearly from inside the Government; it obviously came from there because not many have access” to the San Fernando Airport from which he departed.

However, those close to the official claim he was not trying to stir internal conflict but was pointing toward agencies operating within the terminal, such as the Airport Security Police (PSA), Migrations, or Customs. Meanwhile, the circle of presidential advisor Santiago Caputo avoided making statements on the matter.

The opposition has requested that Adorni appear before the Chamber of Deputies to explain the use of public resources and the inclusion of family members in official delegations. The Unión por la Patria bloc demanded details on the travel and lodging expenses of his wife, while the Socialist bench suggested the situation might constitute a misuse of state funds.

As the controversy escalated, the top tiers of the Executive branch came out in support of the official. Milei himself emphasized that the situation did not involve extra costs.

“If they understood the concept of marginal cost, they would realize that much of what is being said makes no sense. But since few economists truly understand it… they just smear… CHEER UP @madorni …!!! LLA! VLLC!” the President wrote.

Karina Milei expressed her “total and unconditional support” against “media trash,” stating, “I know your integrity. That is enough for me. Always with you.”

The Government did not set up a “crisis table” to handle the communication strategy, though an order was issued from the top to defend him on social media. In his defense, Adorni stated: “I came to work at maximum capacity for five days in the U.S. and I wanted my wife to accompany me because she is my life partner. Not a single peso of the State was used.” He also labeled images of them at recreational activities in New York as “false,” attributing them to attempts to discredit the administration.
