The president opens the ordinary parliamentary session this Friday. Expectation for possible economic announcements.


This Friday night, President Javier Milei gives his opening speech to ordinary sessions of Congress.

From the beginning he questioned the opposition in Parliament.

"From being the richest country in the world when we embrace the ideas of freedom, to being a country where 6 out of 10 Argentines are poor, while the majority of politicians, like many of you, are rich," said the president.

"They don't see it and they won't see it," he said in another section, pointing to opposition politicians.

And he added: "I understand that some politicians add with difficulty unless it is their own, so asking them to compute a geometric growth function is an oxymoron for those who have not seen it, do not see it and will not see it."

He also noted that "politicians live like monarchs."

He also spoke of "a system that can only generate poor people and at their expense produces a privileged caste that lives as if they were monarchs, that reaches obscene absurdities of impunity."

This is the second time that the president has spoken in Parliament, after the words he issued for just over half an hour on December 10, the day of his inauguration as President.

Milei gave his own tone to this Friday, March 1, the traditional opening date of sessions in Congress.

In principle, he postponed the start time of his intervention until 9 p.m., despite the fact that traditionally the appearance of the chief executive in front of the legislators occurred at noon.

Furthermore, he chose to speak from a lectern in the Chamber of Deputies.

Thus, she will not direct his message from the sector that occupies the presidency in that room.

The speech was prepared on Thursday at the Quinta de Olivos, although some final touches were introduced this morning.

In addition, as they let it circulate from those around them, there will be a surprise at the closing of their intervention.

Expectations hover over the economic aspects of his speech, after the mega DNU encountered resistance in the Justice Department (especially in the points on labor reform) and the Omnibus Law foundered in its treatment, particularly in the Lower House.

The focus will also be on the political aspect of his intervention in Congress, which he called a "rat's nest" less than two weeks ago.

Furthermore, in the last few hours, in an interview with the Financial Times he announced that he will make "reforms by decree" and that he does not need legislators to carry out these economic measures.
