Manuel Adorni
gave his usual press conference this Wednesday at the Casa Rosada.
On the day of the strike and hours after obtaining the majority opinion of the omnibus law, the presidential spokesperson saved a few seconds from the beginning to respond to the ironic comment with which the deputy and leader of La Bancaria, Sergio Palazzo, described him.
"I was neither a Twitter male nor am I a teddy bear
," clarified the national official.
"A deputy defined me as 'the former Twitter male turned into a teddy bear'.
I greatly appreciate that my presence or my words generate tenderness in him.
I was neither a Twitter male nor am I a teddy bear," Adorni said on his stand. of the Pink House.
Palazzo, who is a deputy for Unión por la Patria, had slipped that chicanery against the presidential spokesperson, after Adorni accused the legislators of the rise of the blue dollar because they did not discuss the Omnibus Law project.
In January he had given alternative versions: he had called him a "former Twitter macho turned spokesperson" or, inspired by Myriam Bregman's comment against Javier Milei in a candidate debate, "just another cuddly kitten."
At this Wednesday's conference, the former journalist continued with his personal defense.
"In any case I would have remained a Twitter male or a teddy bear, because unlike many I do not change, and not everyone can say the same thing. So I also thank you for having to read this crude definition of me. , because someone wrote it down," Adorni continued.
And he concluded:
"Well, what do I know... it is what it is."
After going out to the Palazzo deputy intersection, Adorni minimized the day of protest and the strike this Wednesday called by the General Confederation of Labor, ensuring that "everything is in place for it to be a normal day."
"This government has been working all day to make this happen and there is a protocol in force, which Patricia Bullrich herself, Minister of Security, has specified that it will be complied with as it should, guaranteeing free movement, with relevant controls and preventing the streets from being blocked," he noted about the official deployment.
From “Twitter guy” to “teddy bear.”
This is the level of legislative debate held by some legislators who love the past, decadence and backwardness.
