After delivering his opening session speech in Congress, President Javier Milei spoke about the release of gendarme Nahuel Gallo, who had been imprisoned in Venezuela for over 400 days. Gallo's return was attributed to efforts, particularly by the Argentine Football Association (AFA), although Milei acknowledged that the specific reasons for his release could involve assistance from other nations like the United States or Italy. He emphasized that the primary concern is Gallo's safe return to Argentina.

Milei expressed relief at Gallo's release, labeling the gendarme's captivity as a tragedy. In the interview with LN+, he stressed the importance of uniting behind the return of someone who had experienced such hardship, regardless of the political nuances surrounding the negotiations for his release. The discussion also included criticism of the opposition and assessments of the international scenario, indicating Milei's broader political strategy and positioning.

This incident reflects Argentina's ongoing challenges with security forces abroad and the complexities of diplomatic negotiations involving hostages. The excitement over Gallo's return might also be seen as a tool for Milei to rally support domestically, while avoiding potential controversies involving other political figures and their roles in similar situations. Milei’s focus on the individual’s return rather than political affiliations might resonate positively with the public, showcasing a leader focused on tangible outcomes over political games.
