Overview

• Guillermo Francos will appear before Congress on April 29 at 14:00 for Argentina's first-ever interpellation of a cabinet chief, addressing the Libra cryptocurrency controversy.
• Francos plans to argue that the Libra initiative was solely the responsibility of its creators, emphasizing that neither President Javier Milei nor his sister Karina Milei were involved in its formation.
• The government has prepared a legal defense, led by María Ibarzabal, to assert that no administrative wrongdoing occurred and to shield the President from culpability.
• Francos will acknowledge contacts between Milei’s inner circle and the entrepreneurs behind Libra but will maintain that the President merely promoted the project on social media.
• The administration continues efforts to block Prosecutor Eduardo Taiano’s investigation into Libra, including a request to lift fiscal secrecy for President Milei and his secretary, pending judicial approval.
