Guillermo Francos said there is no corruption in the government, that the Congress session will be difficult, and that Milei endorsed his challenge to Fat Dan.

One day after the presentation of the 2026 Budget proposal, Chief of Staff Guillermo Francos once again defended Javier Milei's administration in the face of the scandal erupting over alleged bribes at the Disability Agency (ANDIS) and asserted that "there was no corruption on the part of the government." He also expressed his reservations about the use of "network operators and influencers as political mythology."

Prior to the lifting of the secrecy of the case involving former ANDIS director Diego Spagnuolo , the Prime Minister insisted on his defense of the Executive Branch and emphasized that so far the only thing available are "audios of a man telling someone that this is happening."

"Are these facts true? Is this man in his right mind? Has he speculated in any way, sought more influence? The truth is, we don't know. Is there any evidence? Did the Justice Department find anything in these raids that it conducted so quickly? We have no idea, but we are certain that there was no corruption on the part of the government," he said in statements to the BorderPeriodismo streaming service.

The controversy surrounding the recordings, in which the Secretary General of the Presidency, Karina Milei , appears, opened a conflict front within the ruling party in the midst of the campaign for the Buenos Aires elections.

In this context, he reaffirmed his belief that it was all "an operation designed to undermine the government." "I believe in the President," he stated when asked about the reasons for his conviction in the face of accusations of corruption.

Francos also spoke about his disagreement with Daniel Parisini, known as "Fat Dan," regarding his remarks against Senator Luis Juez and his daughter, who has a disability. While he preferred not to give it much importance, he affirmed that Javier Milei supported him in his response to the libertarian influencer close to advisor Santiago Caputo.

"The President told me I was right to respond; it's not something we want to magnify," he said, emphasizing that discussions on social media "are usually savage." "The issue of social media operators and influencers is something I'm not convinced about as a political methodology," he emphasized.

On the other hand, the Chief of Staff considered that the session to be held this Wednesday in the Chamber of Deputies , in which the opposition will insist on the university financing and pediatric emergency laws vetoed by Milei, will be a difficult day for the Government.

"Congress is made up of politicians who are approaching an election they consider very important, so they're going to do everything they can to harm the government , without thinking that it's harming the country," he observed.

In that sense, while he expressed hope that the ruling party could "prevent some vote," he admitted that the scenario is the most promising. "I'm not sure we can achieve that," he acknowledged.
