Milei government panics after fresh leak of Karina audio | Buenos Aires Times

An emergency meeting took place at the Casa Rosada on Saturday as President Javier Milei’s government reacted to the leak of another damaging audio recording.

Cabinet officials and top advisers were summoned to Government House for talks on how to address the controversy, which erupted after a domestic streaming outlet released audio recordings that allegedly capture private conversations inside the Casa Rosada.

One of the clips features a voice attributed to Presidential Chief-of-Staff Karina Milei. In it, the President’s sister – who is at the centre of a developing corruption scandal – appeals for unity from government officials and says she is working long hours.

The situation has caused deep concern within the ruling party, which is seeking to contain the political fallout and prevent the leaks from escalating.

Rumours abide that further audio and video clips could be published in the following days. Casa Rosada sources privately acknowledge that the situation could worsen in the days ahead.

Government officials are angry at the leak and concerned that their conversations behind closed doors may no longer be private.

Presidential Spokesperson Manuel Adorni branded the leak “an unprecedented scandal.”
