Argentina's PRO Party Criticizes President Milei Over Chief of Staff Adorni

The PRO, Argentina’s centre‑right party led by former president Mauricio Macri, issued a public statement distancing itself from President Javier Milei’s government. The party demanded that Milei “prioritize the change, not Adorni,” accusing chief of staff Manuel Adorni of false statements and alleged illicit enrichment. PRO officials cited an ongoing judicial complaint by deputy Mónica Frade alleging ideological falsification, and highlighted Adorni’s failure to appear before Congress as required by article 101 of the constitution.

The criticism was amplified by senior PRO senators, including block leader Martín Goerling, who called for an accelerated review of Adorni’s management report and warned that the minister’s conduct undermines public trust. The party’s rebuke underscores growing tensions between the ruling libertarian administration and its parliamentary allies, raising questions about the stability of Milei’s legislative support.

Quotes from the PRO’s social media posts read: “President, those of us supporting the change want you to defend the change, not Adorni,” and “Adorni’s conduct is a grave fault that erodes public confidence.”
