President Javier Milei will work full-time for the first time at the Olivos residence, and in his first activity of the day he holds a work meeting with Nicolás Posse, Santiago Caputo and Karina Milei.
However, not all Government activities will move to Olivos, because the presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorni, will offer his usual press conference at 11, but in the Casa Rosada.
The head of state moved to the Olivos villa on Monday afternoon and yesterday he went to the Casa Rosada minutes before 8, to lead the meeting of the national Cabinet, so this Wednesday’s day will be the first in time complete in residence.
According to information provided to Télam by official sources, Adorni has scheduled his conference for 11, as is customary, in the Conference Room of the Government House.
Meanwhile, also at 11, the Secretary of Communication and Press, Eduardo Serenellini, will meet with directors of the Argentine Journalism Forum (FOPEA).
At 2 p.m., the official will lead a working meeting with the spokespersons of all the ministries, within the framework of their weekly communication coordination meetings.
The meeting took place after the controversy with journalist Silvia Mercado, who had stated that her four dogs were already at Quinta de Olivos and whom President Milei accused of inventing the news with “scandalous impunity.”
Then, spokesman Adorni, in his usual conference, maintained that “his job was put at risk” because the journalist assured that the information about the mastiffs had come “from an official spokesperson.”
“The only official spokesperson for the President of the Nation and for what happens in the Casa Rosada is me. There is no other spokesperson who represents the President, there is no other voice that represents the President and everything that does not come out of my mouth and that is not real, it is a lie and what happened yesterday is a lie,” he said.
Here the liar “the journalist” clings to her lie, shows her cell phone as if that were proof of something and at the same time, knowing it or not, puts the job of the ONLY PRESIDENTIAL SPEAKER at risk. @madorni .
