Overview
- The president spent New Year’s at the Olivos residence with a low profile, and the guest list was kept undisclosed.
- He released a social‑media video asserting that his government met all campaign promises, citing lower inflation, security gains and a claim of 14 million people leaving poverty.
- Outlets offered conflicting guidance on a midnight address, and there was no formal broadcast announcement from the presidency.
- A confirmed Davos appearance in mid‑January precedes a planned call for extraordinary congressional sessions in February to advance labor changes, revisions to the Glacier law and an updated penal code.
- The government faces a $4.2 billion debt payment on January 9, and Milei backed disciplinary action against Argentina’s consul in Syria after a social‑media “like” on a post about an attack on Israel.
