Manuel Adorni tore apart the Buenos Aires candidates in 'La Misa' del Gordo Dan

Adorni: 'Now they put up posters saying that Adorni is repression, great'

In a moment of boom for the liberal project, the presidential spokesperson and Buenos Aires candidate for La Libertad Avanza,Manuel Adorni, consolidates as the figure embodying the frontal rejection of past political failure. From "La Misa'' del Gordo Dan, alongside President Javier Milei, he exposed the hypocrisy of a directionless opposition and reaffirmed his commitment to the transformation led by the National Government.

Accompanied by none other than the president, the libertarian official reaffirmed his commitment to the deep change embodied by the current government and launched sharp darts against Kirchnerism, PRO and their ideological offshoots.

When asked how he imagines a Buenos Aires governed by Kirchnerism, Adorni did not hesitate to appeal to a powerful cultural reference: "Have you seen El Eternauta?" he said, comparing the hypothetical Kirchnerist administration to an apocalyptic scenario from the recent successful national series. The response, which caused immediate repercussions, was just the beginning of a flurry of definitions.

Adorni then lashed out at the PRO candidate, Silvia Lospennato, and the Kirchnerist figure Leandro Santoro, summarizing his critique in a sharp phrase:  "One appears dismantling the chainsaw and the other tells you 'there's no need for a chainsaw here.' They're the same." The statement evidenced a central thesis of La Libertad Avanza: the false dichotomy between two spaces that, in practice, share the same fiscal conservatism and the same connivance with the status quo.

In an exchange with Dan, the program's host, Adorni deepened his analysis:  "I believe that indeed a communist is not qualified, is not suitable to hold a public office."
To which Dan replied: "The communist from the Left Front is at least honest when he talks to you about agrarian reform. Worse is the one who promises to lower taxes but refuses to touch public spending."

Adorni agreed with the idea that the hypocrisy of certain sectors of the supposed "center-right" is even more dangerous than the frankness of the radical left, and  recalled the video where an opposition candidate symbolically dismantles a chainsaw, mocking the conceptual tool of libertarian adjustment.

President Javier Milei, also present in the broadcast, directly targeted the media and the role of certain journalists: "The kukas are irrecoverable. They criticized me because I replied to you[the journalists], but not to them. Why, if they're already lost?" Adorni also expressed himself clearly about an episode amid the media operations suffered in the context of the Buenos Aires debate:

"The fake news is so cheap that until two hours before Pagni said I wasn't going. Nobody asked me. If they wrote to me, I'd tell them I was on my way." Additionally, Milei supported his spokesperson amid the media operations suffered in the context of the Buenos Aires debate: "They did the same to me before a debate. They said I wasn't going to show up, and there I was."

Far from being affected by the negative campaigns, Adorni celebrated the opposition's graphic attacks with irony: "Look at what they did with the posters, 'Adorni is repression'... Great!"

In another key passage, Milei and Adorni shared a critique of the 17 years of PRO government in the City: "They say the pickets are over... You have to have courage to say it. They had the City and the Province and didn't achieve it," launched Adorni.

Finally, Milei did not let the recent legislative defeat of the Clean Record project pass, and pointed with surgical precision: "I warned that the republican nerds were plotting something dirty. The votes weren't there. Lospennato wanted to use it to inflate herself in the campaign."
