The presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorni, referred to the scandals in which he was involved in recent days: the appointment of his brother Francisco as an advisor to the Ministry of Defense and the rumor that he or his wife received a social plan. The official asserted that he did not intervene in the position that was offered to his brother and that anyone who believes the plan is an “imbecile.”
The appointment of Francisco Adorni generated a stirnot only because of his relationship with the presidential spokesperson, but also because while Javier Milei assures that “there is no money,” they offered him a salary of 2.6 million pesos per month. Sources close to Adorni insisted to PERFIL that The appointment of Luis Petri’s new advisor has nothing to do with his brotherbut it was the minister himself who summoned him because he was a person you trust which “is in charge of managing control of strategic defense projects.”
As he had told this medium, Manuel Adorni gave a television interview this Monday in which he stated: “My brother has been working in public administration for twenty-something years., he has done very well, he made a career. In fact, he is one of the few who has a postgraduate degree in public administration. But it is a theme of his, in which I did not intervene. I didn’t come out to clarify it because it’s not my issue,” declared the spokesperson interviewed by Esteban Trebucq in LN+.
According to his CV, Francisco Adorni worked in 2002 as an administrator in the Treasury Secretariat of the municipality of Ezeiza. From 2004 to 2023 he was in the administrative undersecretary of the Judicial Council of the province of Buenos Aires. Currently, he worked at the accounting-tax firm C & A, where he offered comprehensive advisory services in tax, pension, accounting, financial and regulatory aspects for SMEs.
In addition, he provided consulting on internal control circuits and administrative procedures, external audit services and operational management. But not everything is accounting balances in the career of Petri’s new advisor. Public records show that he, along with three other men, has a trademark in his name at the National Institute of Industrial Property: “Los Celestinos”, the name of a folklore vocal group from La Plata.

Adorni: “For someone to believe that I collect the AUH or a plan is to be an idiot”
In the same television interview, by Esteban Trebucq, Manuel Adorni refused to receive a social plan or for his wife to receive it and he considered that “to believe” that is “to be an idiot.” “It is false,” Adorni stressed when asked about the rumors that emerged in the last few hours and indicated that they received the Universal Child Allowance (AUH).
“They accused me of being a VIP planner. You have to be an idiot to think that I receive a social plan from the government. The truth is that there was a confusion, the truth is that they were simply universal allowances that he received for a few months, but that They are inalienable and by virtue of his work in a dependency relationship,” said the spokesperson in reference to his wife, Bettina Angeletti.

“It strikes me how they underestimate the intelligence of others, to think that someone can believe that I collect the AUH or a social plan is to be an idiot,” Adorni emphasized and said that he did not come out to deny it because it was redundant to “clarify the obvious.” When explaining the versions, she expressed: “I’m lucky that I’ve been doing well for a long time, to think I’m a glider is funny.”
Adorni mentioned that in the midst of the publications in which there was speculation about the allowances his family received, “personal and private information was published, so Of course I will take legal action”. He then revealed that he suffered other attempts to “dirty” his image and named a labor judgement. “There they published private information. I’m going to make sure that they investigate why it was done. But later I understood that it is part of the dynamics of power,” Adorni reflected.
