The 80 definitions left by Milei: from clashes in Congress and the AFA, to the war in Iran and inflation in 2026

President Javier Milei discusses various political issues, including his criticism of the opposition, the appointment of Juan Bautista Mahiques as Justice Minister, and Argentina's stance on the Middle East conflict.

In an interview with Luis Majul on LN+, President Javier Milei addressed multiple pressing issues facing Argentina. He justified his selection of Juan Bautista Mahiques as the new Minister of Justice and dismissed claims that Mahiques is associated with the Argentine Football Association (AFA). During the interview, Milei also engaged in a back-and-forth discussion with the opposition during the Legislative Assembly, responding to various critiques and events that have unfolded in the political arena.

Milei took the opportunity to discuss the release of Nahuel Gallo, denying any potential Iranian terrorist threat towards Argentina, and reassuring citizens that the country is not at risk despite its position in the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. His comments reflect a desire to project stability and confidence in Argentina’s governance amid international tensions. He also indicated a goal of withdrawing from political life by 2031, suggesting a short-term approach to his current presidential term.

Furthermore, President Milei emphasized the importance of the reforms passed in the Congress during the Extraordinary Sessions and critiqued what he referred to as “prebendary” businessmen, drawing a clear line between himself and former President Mauricio Macri in terms of leadership styles and personal demeanor. This highlights a shifting political landscape in Argentina under Milei’s administration, with potential implications for the upcoming elections and legislative processes.
