Manuel Adorni
addressed the criticism that arose in recent days due to the appointment of his
brother to the Ministry of Defense
, whom he defended for being a career civil servant.
The presidential spokesperson downplayed the issue, indicating that Francisco Adorni had already worked in public service
for more than 20 years
: “He has done very well, he has made a career, he is one of the few people who have postgraduate degrees in Public Administration, he is a issue of him, in fact
I did not intervene
,” explained Javier Milei's spokesperson who has the rank of minister.
In an interview with LN+.
Adorni added that she perceives a certain intentionality in what is published about him and his family.
“They
wanted to get me dirty
with a labor trial that also published private information there, but
I understood that it is part of this power dynamic
,” said the official.

The presidential spokesperson denied versions published in Kirchnerist media that he and his wife received
social plans
: "To think that someone can believe that I receive AUH or that I receive a social plan
is to be an idiot
, I didn't even come out to clarify it because I understood that I didn't have "It makes sense to clarify the obvious."
Adorni was referring to a publication made on Horacio Verbitsky's web portal in which the complete data of a labor trial initiated by Adorni years ago and which was settled in 2017 was broken down.
The publication on the Verbitsky portal also accused the spokesperson's wife - his ex, strictly speaking - of charging
2 AUH
for their children.
Adorni maintained that what was recorded as evidence in that note was actually evidence of
family allowances
, a different concept and, according to the spokesperson, that her ex was paid for a brief period and it is an inalienable concept.
In addition, he complained that they published the CUIT of his children.
Adorni referred to this issue in the interview, and reported that
he will initiate legal action
against all those who published private information about him and his family.
In addition, the spokesperson defended the labor reform, which he described as “non-negotiable.”
Controversy over the appointment of Adorni's brother
Francisco Adorni is the brother of the presidential spokesperson and since Thursday he has been working as an advisor in the Ministry of Defense.
The appointment raised multiple criticisms, first of all by transcending the sum that he will charge for his position, which
exceeds 2 million pesos
in the framework of austerity proclaimed by the government of Javier Milei.
The Minister of Defense, Luis Petri, appointed the brother of the presidential spokesperson to a position.
But on the other hand, because the day before the appointment of the spokesperson's brother, the Minister of Defense, Luis Petri, ordered the suspension of a 20% salary increase for military personnel.
