Milei Held a Cabinet Meeting and Focused on Malvinas, the Economy and the Legislative Agenda
The President led a new meeting at Casa Rosada ahead of a week with key bills for the governing coalition. He also summoned La Libertad Avanza lawmakers to organize the parliamentary strategy.
Javier Milei led a new Cabinet meeting this Monday at Casa Rosada, with an agenda centered on the Malvinas issue, the geopolitical situation and the economic front. The meeting took place in the Eva Perón Hall, began in the morning and lasted about an hour and a half.
According to reports by Infobae and C5N, the meeting addressed the National Sovereignty Defense Bill, which the Government plans to send or introduce in the Chamber of Deputies in the next few hours. The official strategy on the Malvinas Islands and the criminal complaints were also reviewed, along with the notices sent to companies linked to activities on the islands.
According to both outlets, Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno was in charge of updating that situation. C5N added that the exchange also underscored the strategic relevance of the South Atlantic for international trade in the coming years.
On the economic front, Milei highlighted the drop in inflation and asked his officials to protect the country’s economic reputation. Both Infobae and C5N reported that the President insisted on “not letting oneself be psychologized by the status quo” and reiterated that “populism is not defeated with populism.” Infobae also noted that the president linked the slowdown in inflation to an improvement in real wages, while C5N reported that, according to official sources, he reaffirmed that he will not change the economic course.
The meeting took place at the start of an important week for the governing coalition in Congress. This Tuesday, the presentation of the 2027 Budget in the Chamber of Deputies is scheduled and, in parallel, the Senate will debate electoral reform in the Constitutional Affairs Committee. According to Infobae, those issues were not part of this morning’s Cabinet meeting.
In the afternoon, Milei was scheduled to receive deputies and senators from La Libertad Avanza to set the line on the legislative strategy and back the Government’s economic program, according to Infobae and C5N.
