The political and business impact of the May Pact, proposed by President Javier Milei in Congress, dominated the Vendimia scene in Mendoza.

and the Agasaj Vendimial, organized by Bodegas de Argentina.
Coviar's breakfast will begin two hours late, at 10, waiting for the national guests who were at the opening of ordinary sessions of Congress on Friday.

the Minister of the Interior,
Guillermo Francos,
the Minister of Defense,
Luis Petri from Mendoza;
and the Secretary of Tourism, Environment and Sports,
Daniel Scioli
(the politician who attended the Mendoza production party the most times), are the main guests of the national government who have confirmed his presence.
Governor

Cornejo expressed his position regarding Milei's call for an agreement with the provinces in a post on his X account. "
We value the call for a political pact for the economy and society

And, in his post, the man from Mendoza included praise for his first provincial government (2015-2019) and that of his successor, Rodolfo Suárez (2019-2023).
"Many of the initiatives proposed by the president are part of the path taken in Mendoza during the last 8 years," said Cornejo.
He then listed the
coincidences with part of the list of priority issues proposed by Milei
: “Here in Mendoza the streets are not blocked, there is a Clean File (it prevents convicted politicians from running for office), we have fiscal balance, we have lowered several taxes and we make subsidies smart like the Mendoza Activa.
Regarding those who go on strike, the day missed is deducted,” explained the governor of Mendoza.
And he announced that
he agrees with the conclave of May 25.

We want to contribute positively," said Cornejo.
