President Javier Milei is developing a plan to block any political or institutional advances against government official Adorni [1, 2].
The move signals a deepening divide within the administration as the president prioritizes the protection of key allies over internal government cohesion. This strategy aims to prevent internal pressure and potential investigations from weakening the governing coalition [1, 2].
The friction surrounding Adorni has already led to casualties within the administration. A government official close to Patricia Bullrich resigned from their post on May 21, 2026 [1]. Sources close to the government said the tension regarding Adorni led to the resignation [1].
This internal instability comes as the administration manages conflicting economic and political outcomes. While some officials focus on the political shield for Adorni, others highlight economic shifts. Monthly inflation in Argentina fell to 2.6% in April 2026 [3], marking the first decrease in 11 months [3].
However, the administration's direction remains a point of fierce contention. Carlos Maslatón said the plan of Milei leads to the national meltdown, the closure of everything, and bankruptcy [4].
To address the growing disorder in management, the government is coordinating high-level meetings. The full government team is scheduled to meet in the Salón Eva Perón of the Casa Rosada following the Te Deum [2].
The tension reflects a broader struggle between the president's loyalty to specific figures and the operational stability of the various ministries in Buenos Aires [1, 2].
“The tension by Adorni has led to the resignation of a leader close to Patricia Bullrich.”
The clash between Milei's loyalty to Adorni and the resignations of allies linked to Patricia Bullrich suggests a fragmentation of the governing coalition. While the administration can point to a reduction in monthly inflation as a success, the political cost is an increase in internal volatility and a perceived lack of institutional order within the Casa Rosada.
