Argentina’s cabinet chief resigns Saturday, months after a private jet-related scandal and amid ongoing corruption allegations. The resignation is reported as the most prominent personnel change since President Javier Milei took office. Multiple outlets describe the resignation as a reversal for the government after the president repeatedly dismissed earlier revelations, characterizing them as coordinated attacks by the opposition and parts of the media. The former cabinet chief, Manuel Adorni, had faced scrutiny over the allegations throughout the period leading up to his departure, according to the reports. Bloomberg frames the resignation as resulting from difficulty in addressing the allegations for months. The Buenos Aires Times likewise links the resignation to the private jet controversy and notes that Milei’s public responses have been aimed at discrediting the claims rather than engaging them substantively. Neither outlet provides details in the excerpts about a formal investigation outcome, findings, or the administration’s next steps. The resignation occurs against a backdrop of sustained political debate in Argentina over corruption allegations tied to the scandal.
