“In fact, the nation’s notary general interacted with Dr. Villarruel’s secretary, so the secretary was also notified. The same day I traveled, Manuel Adorni himself confirmed that I was traveling to Italy, around 12/12:30“added the President.

In this sense, Milei pointed directly against Kirchnerism and, despite agreeing with the expulsion, assured that this political sector has a “problem of inconsistency.” “They remove this man, which seems good to me, what? “And why not Parrilli?” accused the President.
“It bothers me that there are jets within politics. We need to kick everyone in the ass”, he stated.
