Manuel Adorni (born 28 February 1980)[1] is an Argentine economist, certified public accountant, educator, and politician, currently serving as the spokesperson for the Presidency of Argentina since December 10, 2023.[2]
He studied economics at the Faculty of Economic Sciences of the National University of La Plata, where he earned a bachelor's degree. He also studied Public Accounting and Teaching at the Argentine University of Enterprise. Adorni taught at the Inter-American Open University and served as a professor at the Higher School of Economics and Business Administration.[3] [4]
In his journalism career, he was a regular columnist for the newspaper Infobae and hosted radio programs on Radio Rivadavia, where he also hosted "No va más" on Saturdays from 1 to 3 PM. He also appeared on news channels such as LN+, América (on the show "Intratables"), A24, and hosted his program on Canal Metro.[5] [6]
In 2019, he co-founded the political party "Uni2" with a group of Argentine liberals, which later merged with other liberal groups in 2020 to become Republicanos Unidos. The 2021 elections were the party's first participation, but Adorni did not run for any position. In 2023, Javier Milei contacted him to be his government spokesperson.
In November 2023, after Javier Milei's victory in the presidential elections, and Marina Calabró's refusal of the offer for the position, Adorni was announced as the future presidential spokesperson.[7] [8] Ater Milei's inauguration on December 10, he assumed the position and delivered his first press conference at the Casa Rosada a day later.[9] [10]
