Activists reported that they were promised money for Manuel Adorni's campaign closing and they were not given the money.
A group of La Libertad Avanza activists claimed they were offered money to attend Manuel Adorni's closing campaign event , but they didn't follow through. The event was held in Mitre Park in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Recoleta , where President Javier Milei was also present. Some of the attendees said they were promised $25,000 , but ended up receiving $10,000 or nothing at all.
Journalist Lautaro Maislin interviewed one of those affected live. "They want to give us two pesos to work with these idiots. They hire us for prevention, and because I don't want to wear that dirty T-shirt, they won't pay me," he complained. The complaints were repeated by several young people who, according to them, were called in to "make a scene" or act as security, without receiving the agreed-upon sum.
A group of people reported that they were summoned to attend the closing campaign event of Manuel Adorni, presidential spokesman and candidate for Buenos Aires legislator, with the promise of receiving a payment that never arrived.

Presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni closed his campaign accompanied by Milei. Both led the event on Avenida del Libertador before a crowd gathered by the Libertarian Party. The organizers estimated that some 4,000 people attended to support the candidate in the final stretch toward the legislative elections in the City of Buenos Aires.
Journalist Ezequiel Rudman provided more details about what happened. “There were testimonies from activists who said they were offered $25,000 to attend Adorni's closing event and ended up paying them $10,000 . This generated tension,” he commented. Complaints began circulating on social media and in the media shortly after the event ended.
The event was also attended by officials, legislators, and figures close to the ruling party, such as influencer Daniel Parisini, known as "El Gordo Dan." However, allegations of unpaid payments marred the event and sparked discontent among some of the Libertarian militants.
The organizers went unanswered to the complaints. La Libertad Avanza also provided no official clarification. Accusations of hiring assistants for money and then not paying them sparked criticism even from sectors close to the ruling party.
In the midst of a dispute with the PRO party in the city, these complaints affect the image of the movement, which seeks to demonstrate its strength in the streets. The use of paid activists without fulfilling their promises casts doubt on the solidity of the call and exposes internal conflicts within the organization.
