Javier Milei and his measures, LIVE: the President continues his agenda in the US with a lecture at a university and a gala supporting Israel
Argentina's President Javier Milei is continuing his activities in New York, including a lecture at Yeshiva University and participation in a gala supporting Israel.
On Monday, Argentine President Javier Milei began a busy week in New York City, where he will deliver a lecture at Yeshiva University, the world's most prominent Jewish institution of higher education. The event is significant not only for its educational value but also for reinforcing ties with the Jewish community and showcasing Milei's commitment to international relations. In the evening, he is scheduled to attend the Annual J100 Gala of The Algemeiner, a charity event that honors influential individuals within the Jewish community and emphasizes support for Israel. This trip comes at a critical time for Milei's administration as it seeks to define its foreign policy stance and strengthen alliances outside of Argentina.
Further emphasizing his government’s domestic reforms, the Milei administration has recently enacted the new Juvenile Criminal Regime through Decree 138/2026, which was published in the Official Bulletin. This legislation lowers the age of criminal liability and introduces a new system of graduated penalties for juvenile offenders. This controversial move has provoked varied reactions within Argentina, as it raises questions about youth justice and the treatment of minors within the criminal system. The approval of this law during the extra session period highlights the government's determination to push forward its legislative agenda amidst ongoing political debates. As Milei continues to navigate both domestic and international challenges, his actions will be closely watched by both supporters and critics alike.
