Manuel Adorni Resigns After 100 Days, Citing Media Pressure and Personal Attacks

Manuel Adorni, Chief of Staff to Argentine President Javier Milei, has resigned after just 100 days in office, citing intense media scrutiny and personal attacks as the reason for his departure. His resignation follows a period marked by revelations concerning his personal wealth and travel habits, which have dominated headlines and fueled speculation about his position.

“

You know everything I have suffered during all this time. The endless media attacks I have endured have led me to ask you to accompany me this time, to close this cycle in order to protect myself and my family.

The controversy surrounding Adorni intensified with reports about his wife's use of the presidential plane for travel and details about their undeclared property. These revelations, coupled with what Adorni described as "endless media attacks," led him to request President Milei's understanding and acceptance of his resignation.

In his public statement, Adorni thanked President Milei for accepting his resignation, acknowledging that this decision went against the president's wishes. He emphasized his need to "close this cycle" to protect himself and his family from what he termed "media carnage." Adorni expressed regret that the "harassment, lies, and constant attempt by the media to ruin my honorability" had caused so much harm.

“

I regret that the harassment, the lies, and the media's constant attempt to ruin my honorability have wanted to do us so much harm, but I cannot continue exposing a large part of the people I love to this media carnage.

Adorni, who joined the government with the stated intention of collaborating on a project he believed was elevating Argentina, found himself increasingly exposed to what he perceived as unfair media pressure. His departure marks a significant moment in Milei's administration, highlighting the challenges of navigating public life and media attention under intense scrutiny.

“

I am a simple citizen who one day wanted to collaborate with a project that is putting Argentina at the top of the world.
