“There is no money. There is no alternative to shock measures.” Argentina’s new president, Javier Milei, immediately announced radical reforms during his inauguration speech. The measures he has in mind “will have a negative impact on activity, employment and the number of poor and indigent people. There will be stagflation, but it will not be much different from the last 12 years. last bad drink to swallow to begin the reconstruction of Argentina. There will be light at the end of the path”, said the ultraliberalist who took the oath in the Argentine Congress and officially became the new president. Milei, 53 years old, received the presidential sash and cane from the hands of outgoing president Alberto Fernández. The new president of Argentina will govern with a small cabinet of ministers largely from private companies and with no previous political experience.
Milei’s victory represents “a new hope for Latin America”, said Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who participated in the inauguration ceremony of Argentina’s new president in Buenos Aires. “Today I congratulate President Javier Milei on his overwhelming victory in the presidential elections in Argentina”, highlighted Orbán in a publication in ‘X’. Orbán took advantage of the trip to Buenos Aires to meet Milei himself and also the former Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro, and the leader of Vox, Santiago Abascal. Also present at Milei’s inauguration were the president of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelensky; the president of Chile, Gabriel Boric; that of Uruguay, Luis Lacalle Pou; from Paraguay, Santiago Peña and from Armenia, Vahagn Jachaturán. The King of Spain, Felipe VI, also attended.
Zelensky hugged the new Argentine president and congratulated him: “It is a new beginning for Argentina and I wish that President Milei and all the Argentine people surprise the world with their success”, he then wrote on Telegram, posting the video of his conversation with the colleague, on the sidelines of the inauguration ceremony. “I am sure that bilateral cooperation between Ukraine and Argentina will continue to expand,” added Zelensky, who had a brief conversation with Orbán during the ceremony in the Argentine parliament.
