Milei’s inauguration ceremony in Argentina will be next Sunday Agustin Marcarian/File Photo/Reuters – 19.11.2023 Javier Milei will assume the Presidency of Argentina on Sunday (10), facing a country immersed in an acute and challenging economic crisis. With an ultra-liberal approach, Milei faces the monumental task of finding solutions to remove the country from this situation. After the victory over Peronist Sergio Massa in the elections, Milei stepped down from the podium and began to form his government in a pragmatic way. Seeking political support, he appointed figures aligned with the conservative right to key positions, which played a crucial role in his victory in the second round.

Patrícia Bullrich, the defeated candidate, will resume the Ministry of Security, while her deputy, Luís Petri, will lead the Ministry of Defense. The controversy resulted from the appointment of Rodolfo Barra as Finance Attorney, as he had to apologize for his past linked to a group of young Nazis. Expectations regarding the new government are high. A survey by the Catholic University of Argentina revealed that the poverty rate in the country has increased again, reaching almost 45% of the population. The impact is more pronounced among children and adolescents, with more than 60% of people in this group living below the poverty line. The inauguration ceremony will not be attended by President Lula, who declined Milei’s invitation. Brazil will be officially represented by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mauro Vieira. On the other hand, former president Jair Bolsonaro, accompanied by parliamentarians, will participate in the event. The presidents of Uruguay, Paraguay and Ecuador will also be present. High-level representatives from the United States, Israel and Great Britain will also be present.
