The Chief of Staff Manuel Adorni He appeared before Congress this Wednesday to present his management report, but the session was overshadowed by the storm of scandals that surrounds him: accusations of illicit enrichmentcontroversies over trips on private flights, expenses with public funds and the purchase of apartments that generated unanswered questions in the opposition.
In this context, a minor detail became fuel for the networks: the opposition and Kirchnerist users assured that Adorni was wearing it on his wrist. a Rolex valued at $60,000 during his presentation before legislators. The accusation immediately went viral under the phrase “Adorni’s watch!” and ignited a new discussion about the official’s lifestyle.
It was then that the libertarian representative Sergio “Tronco” Figliuolo He decided to come to the fore with his favorite weapon: irony. In a tweet that soon circulated, he wrote: “The kukas are shouting ‘EL RELÓ, EL RELÓ DE ADORNISS’. Here I also read some idiots, EL ROLESSSS, EL TAGJEGUERS. It’s a Tommy Hilfiger“If you like it, it’s on sale for 360 thousand pesos.”
Figliuolo’s message had a double effect: on the one hand, it confirmed that the watch in question It’s not a Rolex but a Tommy Hilfiger with a market value of around 360,000 to 400,000 pesos; On the other hand, he ridiculed those who had inflated the complaint without verifying the brand. Other tweeters from the libertarian space quickly joined in the support, celebrating the clarification and criticizing what they considered an “operation” by the opposition.
However, the anecdote of the clock only shows the eye of the storm in which Adorni is located. Beyond the stopwatch mark on his wrist, the official faces fundamental questions about their assets and the use of State resources. The opposition has been demanding explanations for weeks about expenses on trips abroad, stays in luxury hotels and the acquisition of real estate that, according to them, would be difficult to justify with their official salary.
In this framework, the debate over the clock is emerging as a symptom of a deeper discussion: Whether or not the accessory is a Rolex seems anecdotal facing the questions that the opposition is still waiting for Adorni to answer.
