Argentine President Javier Milei publicly defended his spokesperson, Manuel Adorni, following accusations of illicit enrichment. Milei shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) from filmmaker Santiago Oría claiming the media had “maliciously lied.” The post directly asserted Adorni’s innocence, stating “it’s clear he didn’t steal.” This action follows recent reports questioning Adorni’s financial dealings and a property purchase. The President’s intervention signals strong support for Adorni amidst growing scrutiny. Opposition figures have criticized Milei’s response as an attempt to deflect from legitimate inquiries. The situation highlights ongoing tensions between the government and the press in Argentina.
