ARGENTINA: Pettovello in the crosshairs over food fiasco
Argentina’s President Javier Milei has gone on the offensive to defend one of the most powerful figures in his cabinet, Sandra Pettovello, who is embroiled in a scandal surrounding the distribution of food to soup kitchens. Pettovello, the minister of human capital, was summoned to appear before a commission of the lower chamber of congress on 5 June to account for a food scandal that comes at a time when ever-greater numbers of people are going to soup kitchens as soaring inflation pushes them beneath the poverty line.
