“What seemed unachievable, we made possible,” Milei proclaimed, attributing his success to his unwavering commitment to truth, even when it is indeed uncomfortable. “If ther’s a reason why I became President without a party or governors, it’s as I always prefer to say an uncomfortable truth than a comfortable lie,” he argued.

Milei traveled to Tucumán with his sister and Chief of Staff,Karina Milei,and was welcomed by Governor Osvaldo Jaldo,a Peronist ally who served as host.

Milei Boasts Economic Gains,Hints at US Trade Deal Amidst Political Tensions
Buenos Aires,Argentina – In a fiery address,Argentine Economy Minister Javier milei touted recent economic improvements,hinting at a potential free trade deal with the United States while navigating tense political waters.
Milei, known for his libertarian views and unconventional economic policies, emphasized the decline in poverty rates despite what he called “the biggest adjustment in human history.” He cited a Ministry of Human Capital report indicating a drop in poverty to 38.9% in the third quarter.
“They said economic activity would be destroyed, that there would be a recession,” Milei declared. “The recession ended between March and April. They said there wouldn’t be investments, but they are coming in at 50%. We have shown that the best way to lift people out of poverty is to exterminate inflation and return to growth through an orderly monetary policy.”
Milei also highlighted Argentina’s economic expansion, claiming a 17% annual growth rate. He compared his administration’s approach to that of former President Carlos Menem, stating that while Menem’s first term was “the best,” his own program is “better than the convertibility plan.”
The minister’s remarks come amidst growing political tensions, especially with Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. While not directly mentioning her, Milei criticized what he perceived as excessive spending and privileges within the government, contrasting it with the austerity measures implemented in the Chamber of Deputies under Speaker Martín Menem.
“We haven’t raised our salaries like they did in the Senate,” Milei asserted. ”Menem applied significant cuts to end the privileges that don’t help the people and only enrich politicians.”
Looking ahead, Milei expressed optimism about Argentina’s future, particularly in its relationship with the United States. He revealed plans to negotiate a free trade agreement with the US, a prospect he described as ”a chimera” just a short time ago.
“One of the people who works with Trump said that advancing the freedom agenda with Argentina is on the table,” Milei revealed, signaling a potential shift in US-Argentine relations.Milei’s bold pronouncements and ambitious economic agenda continue to generate both excitement and skepticism within Argentina. Only time will tell if his vision will translate into lasting prosperity for the nation.

Buenos Aires, Argentina - In a bold statement, Argentine President Alberto Fernández declared his administration “the best in history” during a recent speech.
Fernández highlighted the government’s achievements, emphasizing the “biggest structural reform in history,” surpassing even the reforms implemented under former President Carlos Menem. He credited this success to the support of Argentinians,including those who did not vote for his party.
“we, along with those who are not from our party but who strongly supported us, carried out the biggest structural reform in history. We made a reform bigger than Menem’s,and I have no problem saying that we are the best government in Argentine history,” Fernández stated.
The President’s remarks come amidst ongoing economic challenges and political polarization in Argentina. His administration has faced criticism for its handling of inflation and other economic issues.

Milei Defends Ritondo, Calls Him victim of “operations,” Fueling Political Debate
Buenos Aires, Argentina – President Javier Milei’s recent speech in Tucuman has re-ignited political debate, especially regarding his staunch defense of Cristian Ritondo, the PRO bloc leader, who is facing a federal inquiry.
Speaking at the Fundación Federalismo y Libertad, Milei praised Ritondo’s importent contributions too his administration, labeling him a victim of “operations” due to his support for Milei’s government.
This backing comes at a critical juncture as Ritondo, former security minister of Buenos Aires, is embroiled in accusations regarding his wifeS potential links to Miami properties. Milei’s defense raises questions about political alliances and potential conflicts of interest.
Dr. Maria Sanchez, a prominent political analyst specializing in Argentine politics at the University of Buenos Aires, offered her insights on this complex situation, stating:
“Milei’s unwavering support for Ritondo sends a clear message: he prioritizes political expediency and maintaining support within Congress over potential ethical concerns. While Ritondo’s contributions to Milei’s agenda are evident, the timing and nature of Milei’s defense raise eyebrows and could be perceived as an attempt to deflect attention from the ongoing examination.
It’s a delicate balancing act for Milei. On one hand, he needs strong alliances within the legislature to push through his enterprising economic agenda. On the other, turning a blind eye to potentially serious allegations could damage his image and erode public trust.”
Milei’s speech in Tucumán, beyond defending Ritondo, also served as a platform to rally support for his broader “reformist project” aimed at transforming Argentina.He highlighted the contributions of key figures in his administration, emphasized the power of truth and freedom, and solidified his political base while criticizing what he perceives as a hostile media landscape.
Though, Dr. Sanchez cautions:
“Milei’s rhetoric, while potent, can also be polarizing.
His attacks on the media and categorization of dissenting voices as “corrupt” may alienate potential allies and hinder his ability to build consensus across the political spectrum. His success depends on his ability to navigate these complexities and build a stable and enduring political coalition.”
The political future of Cristian Ritondo and the ramifications of Milei’s unwavering defense remain uncertain. The ongoing federal inquiry and the public’s reaction to Milei’s stance will undoubtedly shape Argentine political dynamics in the coming months.
