Javier Milei and his measures, LIVE: the President attends the inauguration of José Kast in Chile before returning to Buenos Aires
President Javier Milei attended José Kast's inauguration in Chile before his return to Buenos Aires and subsequent travel to Spain for an economic forum.
President Javier Milei, following a series of events in Miami and New York where he inaugurated Argentina Week 2026, arrived in Chile to witness the inauguration of new Chilean President José Kast. This visit highlights the growing political ties between Argentina and Chile under their respective right-wing administrations. After attending the inauguration, Milei is set to return to Buenos Aires before embarking on another international trip.
In a statement earlier, José Mayans, leader of the Unión por la Patria bloc in the Senate, commented on the recent interaction between Argentine Governor Axel Kicillof and former President Mauricio Macri, suggesting a collaborative approach moving forward. Mayans signaled that while they are not enemies, it is essential for political factions to find common ground to further their agendas.
Additionally, the events surrounding Milei's attendance and the broader political dynamics showcase Argentina's focus on international relations amidst its internal challenges. With Milei's upcoming participation in the Madrid Economic Forum set for March 14, it appears that he is keen on positioning Argentina in a favorable light within the international economic landscape, aiming for economic stability and growth amid domestic policy changes.
