President Javier Milei landed in Argentina after his sixth official visit to Spain, and in the coming hours he will receive Manuel Adorni at the Quinta de Olivos. The dance of names to replace the chief of staff has already begun, while versions of a possible resignation or dismissal become increasingly firm.
In an interview with a Spanish media outlet, Milei referred to the corruption scandal surrounding Adorni, who is being investigated for illicit enrichment. «If the courts find Adorni guilty, I’ll kick him out myself,» the president stated, making it clear that although he trusts his official’s innocence, he will not tolerate an adverse ruling.
Rumors about Adorni’s departure have been growing since the latest revelations in the case came to light. Until a few days ago, both government officials and advisors ruled out a resignation or dismissal, but now the situation seems to have changed. Among the possible replacements, names like Diego Santilli, Pablo Quirno, Horacio Marín, and Sandra Petovello are being mentioned.
In the same interview, Milei reaffirmed his alignment with US President Donald Trump and expressed support for a US armed intervention in Cuba, similar to what happened in Venezuela after the arrest of Nicolás Maduro in January 2026. «I long for an intervention on the island like the one carried out in Venezuela,» the Argentine president said.
On the other hand, the president revealed that he offered to hand over the Casa Rosada to the Argentine national team players for any future celebrations. The controversial statement adds to the multiple controversies surrounding his administration.
