The general secretary of the Presidency He celebrated his 53rd birthday in the Patio de las Palmeras of Casa Rosada while his Chief of Staff was going through one of the most complicated weeks of the government: Manuel Adorni He faces a court case for alleged illicit enrichment linked to properties in his name and a trip to Punta del Este, and since then he has avoided public events. The celebration was no exception: Adorni conspicuous by its absence.
In that context, the “Alto Perú” Military Fanfare, the band of the Horse Grenadier Regiment “General San Martín” played classics ABBA —”Dancing Queen”, “Mamma Mia” and “Chiquitita”— to entertain the President’s sister. The event, which did not appear on any official agenda, lasted eight minutes and was filmed by public employees and journalists present in the building.
The image of the celebration also left other striking absences: Patricia Bullrich He left through Rivadavia without joining the event, and the advisor Santiago Caputo He went straight to his office while the Swedes were playing, in another sign of his distance from Karina. Yes they were Martin Menemhead of the Chamber of Deputies; Diego SantilliMinister of the Interior; Pilar Ramirezhead of the La Libertad Avanza bloc; and Lule Menemof the General Secretariat of the Presidency. Javier Milei He remained in his office on the first floor.
On social networks, the celebration generated criticism for the use of a historic force of the State—the fanfare was created 100 years ago and has 50 musicians— for a private celebration, in open contradiction with the austerity discourse that the Government preaches abroad. At the end, the Granaderos moved to Plaza de Mayo to continue playing as part of the events for the Malvinas commemoration week.
