New Year Messages from Argentine Leaders
In a wave of optimism, President Javier Milei and his cabinet members shared motivational messages as they welcomed the New Year. Chief of Staff Manuel Adorni expressed his hope for 2026, wishing everyone “the best year of your lives.” Chancellor Pablo Quirno emphasized a steadfast commitment, declaring, “We don’t plan to let up.”
Achievements and Aspirations
Just before midnight, President Milei shared a video address highlighting his administration’s achievements during its first two years. He boasted of fulfilling campaign promises, reducing inflation, and lifting over 14 million Argentines out of poverty. “Argentina is beginning to grow,” he proudly stated, wishing everyone happy holidays while looking forward to continuing progress in 2026.
As the New Year countdown approached, Adorni took to social media, extending his wishes for peace and tranquility for the coming year. “God bless the Argentine Republic,” he wrote.
Messages of Determination
Economist Luis “Toto” Caputo joined the parade of encouraging messages with a brief but impactful declaration: “We are going with everything for 2026!” Quirno reiterated the commitment, stating, “If you continue supporting us as you have, Argentina will be prosperous!”
In a light-hearted yet encouraging tone, Martin Menem, President of the Chamber of Deputies, shared his wishes for the upcoming year, stating “best wishes for 2026.”
Commitment to Change
Patricia Bullrich, head of the Freedom Advances Senate group, took a reflective approach, acknowledging the legislative work accomplished in the past year. “Next year, we will continue. With more decision, more freedom, and more reforms for all Argentines,” she stated.
The PRO, a political block well known for championing conservative reforms, emphasized the need to engage in crucial debates for the future of Argentina.
Messages from the Opposition
In stark contrast, few leaders from the Peronist party shared messages this New Year. Notably, Deputy Juan Grabois focused on advocating for the marginalized, raising his glass to the “damned of the earth” who often remain overlooked in political discussions.
His message also highlighted a recent loss, honoring Pope Francis as a champion for the poor, remarking on the impact of his departure. Grabois concluded with a promise to continue fighting for the disadvantaged.
Agustín Rossi also wished for a collective effort in 2026 to build a “just, free, and sovereign Argentina,” emphasizing unity among all citizens.
