Overview
- President Javier Milei formally inaugurated the Museo Interactivo de Granaderos a Caballo “General San Martín” on September 9, 2026, during a ceremony in Palermo attended by cabinet members, military leaders and regional diplomats.
- The privately funded museum, driven by Fundación Granaderos and its president Bettina Bulgheroni, features an eight‑room interactive itinerary that uses digital tools to present two centuries of regimental history.
- In his speech Milei invoked José de San Martín to argue that sovereignty must be defended with concrete acts rather than rhetoric and accused some local actors of siding with British interests.
- Milei publicly asked the opposition to support the Malvinas bills he plans to send to Congress in the coming days, framing the issue as a national cause that should transcend party divides.
- The event ties cultural memory and state symbolism to an immediate political push and could increase pressure on lawmakers to move on Malvinas legislation while drawing attention to the government’s effort to involve the armed forces and diplomatic corps in the message.
