The opposition and allies of President Javier Milei’s government have set a date for an interpellation of Chief of Staff Manuel Adorni that could lead to a vote of no confidence in the Senate.
Scheduled for July 2, the interpellation will take place on the same day Adorni plans to appear before the Upper House to deliver his first management report to the chamber presided over by Vicepresident Victoria Villarruel, currently in an ongoing rift with Milei.
The initiative, which has a strong chance of advancing on the Senate floor, will be put to a vote next week after La Libertad Avanza (LLA) caucus leader Patricia Bullrich negotiated with allied blocs to cancel the session originally scheduled for this Thursday.
The interview Adorni gave to LN+ news channel to explain the origins of his undeclared wealth marked a turning point in the Senate.
The contradictions in the official’s statements, together with the fact that he admitted to omissions in his asset declaration — thereby acknowledging that he had misled the Chamber of Deputies during his management report to the Lower House in April — prompted the Peronist Popular interbloc led by José Mayans to introduce a motion to summon him for questioning, with the possibility of a subsequent vote of no confidence.
