Milei Attends Tedeum Amidst Cabinet Strife and Adorni's Legal Woes

Argentine President Javier Milei is set to participate in two significant events today: the traditional May 25th Tedeum service and a subsequent cabinet meeting. The Tedeum, a religious ceremony held at the Metropolitan Cathedral, will be led by the Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Jorge García Cuerva. This event is expected to include remarks that may touch upon the country's social conditions and poverty rates.

Notably, Vice President Victoria Villarruel will not attend the Tedeum, reportedly not having been invited by the Presidency. This follows a pattern from the previous year where Milei seemingly overlooked her presence. However, Buenos Aires Mayor Jorge Macri, with whom the President reportedly has a more cooperative relationship currently, is expected to attend.

They always give tough speeches, so Monday will surely be tough too, but we would be surprised if he doesn't talk about the reduction in poverty.

Following the religious service, Milei will convene a cabinet meeting at the Casa Rosada. This meeting is particularly significant as it occurs amidst reported internal tensions within the government. Sources indicate the gathering is intended to smooth over disagreements, specifically between presidential advisor Santiago Caputo and Martín Menem, the President of the Chamber of Deputies. Caputo has allegedly accused Menem of being behind an online account that has criticized various libertarian figures and even the President himself.

Adding to the government's challenges, spokesperson Manuel Adorni is reportedly facing scrutiny over ongoing judicial investigations related to alleged illicit enrichment. The cabinet meeting is expected to address these internal dynamics and potentially discuss strategies for managing public perception and governmental cohesion.

Always (at the Tedeum) they give tough speeches, so Monday will surely also be tough, but we would be surprised if he doesn't talk about the reduction in poverty.
