Susana Giménez Blasts Former Official Before Flying to World Cup

30/06/2026 10:17 - Entretenimiento

A Celebrity's Strong Opinion

Before boarding her flight to Miami to witness the World Cup 2026, Susana Giménez, often considered the 'Queen of Argentine Television', made headlines with her sharp political commentary. She criticized Manuel Adorni, who resigned on June 27, 2026, amid a significant scandal involving illicit enrichment.

For foreign readers, Susana Giménez is a cultural icon in Argentina, comparable to Oprah or a Hollywood superstar, whose opinions often sway public sentiment. Her description of the former official's administration as "a disgrace" and her relief that he is gone, "thank goodness he left", highlights the public outrage regarding the situation.

The Scandal Details

The resignation followed severe accusations regarding Adorni's finances, which triggered a media firestorm:

  • Wealth Increase: A staggering 775% jump, allegedly growing from $20 million to $944 million.
  • Undeclared Crypto: Authorities flagged $500,000 in cryptocurrencies not declared in affidavits.
  • Black Payments: Testimonies mentioned $245,000 in undeclared payments for renovations.
  • Resignation Date: June 27, 2026.

New Government Appointment

In the wake of the resignation, Diego Santilli has been confirmed as the new Cabinet Chief. He is set to be sworn in on June 30, 2026, at 17:30 at the Salón Blanco.

Santilli will retain his influence over the Ministry of the Interior, managed by Gustavo Coria, while taking on the spokesperson duties and congressional relations previously held by Adorni.

Focus Shifts to the World Cup

Despite the political turbulence, the excitement in Argentina is shifting towards sports. The National Team, led by Lionel Messi, secured the top spot in Group J with 9 points. Giménez is heading to Miami to cheer for the team in the Round of 16.

The highly anticipated match against Cape Verde is scheduled for July 3 at 19:00. The team arrives with momentum after a 3-1 victory against Jordan, with goals from Lo Celso, Julián Álvarez, and a signature free-kick by Messi.
