Argentina has a new president: Javier Milei takes the helm of the country

In a climate full of expectations and a notable presence of supporters, President-elect Javier Milei and his Vice President Victoria Villarruel took the oath of office before the Legislative Assembly in the National Congress. The outgoing president, Alberto Fernández, made the transfer of command with the delivery of the sash and the presidential baton. From the early hours of the morning, the surroundings of the Parliament were dyed with the color of the Argentine flags, while La Libertad Avanza (LLA) called on its militants to accompany the presidential inauguration. Milei, known for his liberal stance and defiant discourse, thus becomes the head of state of Argentina, promising to lead a government that aims to reduce public spending, promote free competition and a profound overhaul of the economic system. LLA’s presence was notorious, highlighting the support and commitment of its followers to the new government. Enthusiasm and expectation reign among those who see in this new administration an opportunity to promote structural changes in the country. Uncertainty and expectations are intertwined in this new chapter, as the country waits closely for the steps that the president will take in his administration at the helm of the country.
