President Javier Milei is set to resume public activities on Monday, nine days after returning from Colombia, by leading tributes to General José de San Martín. The event, scheduled for 3 p.m. at the monument in Retiro, will include a national broadcast speech, though details remain undisclosed.
Milei's last official engagement was attending the swearing-in of Abelardo de la Espriella as Colombia's new president on July 7. Upon returning to Buenos Aires the following day, he has maintained a lower public profile. During his absence from the Casa Rosada, political meetings were led by Karina Milei and Chief of Staff Diego Santilli.
In the interim, Milei has been notably active on social media. He retweeted a post by Economy Minister Luis Caputo, criticizing a Clarín editorial, and praised the country's fiscal surplus, comparing it favorably to Denmark. He also shared a critical post on Instagram targeting former deputy Facundo Moyano.
This week marks a busy schedule for the President. He is slated to speak at a conference titled "Argentina: Economic and Political Perspectives" on Thursday. On Friday, he will conclude his week in Rosario, participating in a ceremony for the anniversary of the Rosario Stock Exchange, where he is also expected to deliver a speech.
