Sunday, November 10, in Argentina, the inauguration ceremony of Javier Miley, who was re-elected as president, took place.
On November 10, the inauguration of newly elected President Javier Miley took place in Argentina, who has repeatedly expressed a pro-Ukrainian position. President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky attended the ceremony.
“There is no alternative to a shock correction,” he said on the steps of Congress after picking up the presidential staff and sash as crowds of his supporters cheered, even as Miley said the economy would worsen in the short term. "There is no money."
Note that 53-year-old Argentine libertarian economist Javier Milei is a former television pundit who became famous for his obscene remarks about competitors, China and the Pope. In 2019, Miley joined the Libertarian Party.
Two years later he became a member of the National Congress of Argentina and led the right-wing conservative coalition La Libertad Avanza. Miley ran for president on her behalf. The Argentines elected him president on November 20. He received about 56% of the votes.
He received the presidential sash on December 10 and is showing some signs of pragmatic and moderate change.
The President of Ukraine attended the inauguration ceremony and congratulated the newly elected president.
“Today I took part in the inauguration of Javier Miley in Buenos Aires and congratulated the new President. This is a new beginning for Argentina, and I wish President Miley and all the Argentine people to surprise the world with their successes. I am also confident that bilateral cooperation between Ukraine and Argentina will continue to expand,” the head of state said on Telegram.
Zelensky also held meetings in Buenos Aires with the presidents of Paraguay, Uruguay and Ecuador. He invited all three to come to the next round of negotiations on the Ukrainian Formula World in Switzerland in January 2024.
