The political table has no date for reconvening. Despite having several bills presented, scheduled trips, and pending administrative issues, President Javier Milei does not plan to convene any Cabinet or political table meetings in the short term, after recent encounters—far from bringing positions closer—ended up intensifying tensions due to Manuel Adorni's judicial situation. With the World Cup already underway, national authorities have lowered the intensity of official activities, and there are no major events on the horizon for this week. "There is nothing on the agenda," an administration official admitted when asked by Infobates regarding rumors that a decision was made to pause the President's meetings with his ministers and members of the Libertarian leadership. In fact, the Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, Martín Menem, who is one of the leaders in that second category, is traveling in Israel. The ruling party figure will remain in the Middle East until Thursday, as he has an intense schedule of events including a talk with his counterpart from the Knesset (local legislature), Amir Ohana, and with the President of the Hebrew State, Isaac Herzog. While in Israel, Menem will also be received by representatives of the Israel–Argentina Parliamentary Friendship Groups and visit communities affected by the October 7 attacks. For this reason, he will only be able to return to his usual duties in Congress next Monday, where Adorni faces a request for interpellation and attempts at a motion of censure. For his part, Milei has not organized any meeting or special event for the National Team's debut in the World Cup, which will take place this Tuesday night. According to information obtained by this media outlet, the Head of State will watch the match alone at the Quinta de Olivos, where he will work during the day. The President had already anticipated that, although he will travel to the United States in early July to participate in the celebrations for the 250th anniversary of that country's independence—where the sporting competition is also being held—he will not attend any matches involving the team led by Lionel Messi, should they advance to the next round.

Regarding the political table, there is also no date for a new meeting, following which last Thursday, internal conflicts entered the debate for the first time. Although it is not common for personal issues to be discussed in that sphere, on that occasion, Adorni did confront Patricia Bullrich regarding her comments about his sworn statement. The leader of the La Libertad Avanza bloc questioned why the coordinating minister had hidden 500,000 dollars—as he himself admitted—of savings held "off the books." The exchange between the two escalated and, as Infobates revealed, it was Santiago Caputo who sought to restore calm and analyze options to navigate the crisis. Although there is no summons for now, members of the table deny that this is to avoid further confrontations, but they have received no information regarding how the dynamic will continue. "They haven't told us anything, but the political table meetings are being held approximately every 15 days. The versions that have emerged are all mere speculation," said one of the members of that select group.
The last meeting of the political table. The ruling party wants to demonstrate management to disprove claims that the Government is paralyzed and, to that end, one of the objectives is to push forward projects already presented by the Executive Branch in Congress, such as the Super RIGI and electoral reform, among others. However, it also faces obstacles from sectors that are usually allies, such as companies, which have been demanding modifications from the Casa Rosada regarding the patent treaty or the lobby law, for example. In fact, several North American companies expressed concern over the mechanism
