Milei and Adorni share warm embrace at Santilli's swearing-in ceremony

Argentine President Javier Milei and his former spokesperson Manuel Adorni shared a warm embrace during the official ceremony where Diego Santilli was sworn in as Chief of Staff. The public display of affection, marked by mutual pats on the back, occurred shortly after Adorni's departure from his previous role.

Adorni is currently facing an investigation into alleged illicit enrichment. However, President Milei has publicly affirmed his belief in Adorni's innocence, suggesting that the pressure from media and opposition forces necessitated his departure from the government. The embrace and a pinch on the cheek from Milei signaled a strong personal bond between the two.

The inauguration ceremony for Santilli, held in the White Room of the Casa Rosada, was a significant gathering. It was attended by 14 provincial governors, the entire cabinet, Secretary General of the Presidency Karina Milei, Senate bloc leader Patricia Bullrich, Chamber of Deputies leader Martín Menem, and PRO bloc leader Cristian Ritondo, among other prominent figures.

Following the ceremony, Adorni was observed greeting cabinet members with hugs, while Karina Milei engaged with the attending governors. Santilli becomes the fourth Chief of Staff appointed by the Milei administration in two and a half years, succeeding Nicolás Posse, Guillermo Francos, and Adorni himself.
