The perversion of Adorni's lies

Argentine official Manuel Adorni is accused of engaging in "post-truth" deception, where lies are propagated knowingly, with the intent to display power and impunity rather than to deceive.

The article contends that Adorni, who previously served as a spokesperson, consistently projects an image of innocence and order while allegedly amassing wealth through questionable means during his public service. His explanations for his increased assets, including properties and payments to contractors, are described as lacking coherent justification.

When questioned about the source of his wealth, Adorni reportedly cites a digital "cold wallet," a claim the article dismisses as unproven and characteristic of a "post-moral" era where proof is secondary to the display of power. The piece argues that Adorni and his associates have transformed the presumption of innocence into a propaganda tool, bypassing legal processes with public declarations of innocence.

The author criticizes this approach, stating that public pronouncements and podiums do not absolve officials of legal accountability. The article suggests that the current corruption strategy involves openly flaunting questionable dealings, with the very exhibition serving as the intended message of power and impunity, rather than attempting to hide illicit activities.
