• He reaffirmed his defense of Karina Milei and Eduardo “Lule” Menem and insisted the dispute must be settled in court rather than in television studios.
• Menem explained that Spagnuolo was separated from the disability agency because he either failed to report alleged irregularities immediately or was spreading unfounded claims about officials.
• Coalición Cívica deputy Paula Oliveto argued the audios are only a starting point to trace overpricing and money flows, urged a congressional probe, and warned that weakened controls demand answers.
• Analysts and pollsters are gauging the potential impact on La Libertad Avanza ahead of the September 7 provincial election, as government allies argue the release was designed to depress turnout.
