Javier Milei leads Argentina's 25 May national ceremony

President Javier Milei attended the traditional Te Deum service marking Argentina’s 25 May independence anniversary, joining most of his cabinet – including ministers Manuel Adorni, Martín Menem and sister Karina Milei – while vice‑president Victoria Villarruel was omitted, reflecting growing intra‑government tension.

Milei also took part in the official Cabildo ceremony, addressed crowds from the Casa Rosada balcony and released an AI‑generated video featuring historic figures as Lego figures. Argentine foreign minister Pablo Quirno used a UN Security Council debate to back Rafael Grossi’s bid for UN secretary‑general, echoing Milei’s broader critique of multilateral institutions.
