- Diego Spagnuolo was removed from ANDIS and his cellphone was taken in Pilar as the government intervened the agency and kept public silence, while Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos defended Karina Milei and questioned the recordings’ authenticity and timing.
- Opposition lawmakers convened a Tuesday hearing to question Health Minister Mario Lugones and ANDIS interventor Alejandro Vilches, with analysts warning the case threatens the ruling coalition ahead of national elections.
