Karina Milei, the Secretary General of the Presidency, publicly thanked Manuel Adorni for his tenure as presidential spokesperson and chief of staff following his resignation. The sister of President Javier Milei lauded Adorni's "tireless work" and his "passion and commitment" in defending liberal ideas, qualities she described as rarely seen.
In a social media post, Karina Milei characterized Adorni as a person of "integrity, value, and greatly loved by all of us." She expressed understanding and respect for his decision to step down, acknowledging the difficult and "undeserved" personal circumstances he and his family have faced for months. She lamented that the situation led to his departure.
You are a person of integrity, value, and greatly loved by all of us. We know the difficult โ and undeserved โ moment that you and your family have been going through for months, and we accompany your decision with respect, regretting that the circumstances have been this way.
Adorni's resignation comes after a three-and-a-half-month scandal surrounding the growth of his personal wealth since he entered public service. He is currently under investigation for illicit enrichment. His departure coincided with the FIFA World Cup, with the announcement made just hours before Argentina's match against Jordan.
The decision to resign had reportedly been brewing for weeks amid significant internal tensions within the ruling party. Adorni himself confirmed his departure via a resignation letter posted on social media, thanking the president for his trust and stating, "It has been a true honor."
Thank you for your trust, Mr. President. It has been a true honor.
