Milei Rings In 2026 at Olivos, Posts Year-End Video Claiming Promises Kept

His social-media address touts progress on inflation and poverty with a low-profile holiday schedule.

Overview

  • The president spent New Year's Eve at the Quinta de Olivos with no guest list confirmed and no official events scheduled for Dec. 31 or Jan. 1.
  • In a video shared on social platforms, Milei asserted that his government fulfilled campaign pledges, claiming lower inflation, improved security, and 14 million fewer people in poverty.
  • The message first circulated via pro-government influencer accounts before being reposted by Milei; he later issued a punctual midnight New Year greeting on X.
  • The administration declared an administrative holiday for national public employees as key teams kept operating while most officials take brief leave until about Jan. 5.
  • An early January agenda features a confirmed appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos and reported fiscal pressure from a Jan. 9 debt payment, with extraordinary congressional sessions expected in February to advance reforms such as labor changes.
