President Javier Milei will leave tonight for the summit of leaders of the Group of Seven (G7)which will take place in Bari, Italywhere he will give a speech to promote Argentina as a hub for the development of artificial intelligence.
Unlike other occasions, the entourage that will accompany the president will be small. The Secretary General of the Presidency will travel on the presidential plane, Karina Milei; the head of the Council of Economic Advisers, Demian Reideland his documentary filmmaker, Santiago Oriawho will be in charge of the official images.
Instead, the chancellor Diana Mondino It will not be part of the official tour. Although he will participate alongside the Minister of Defense, Luis Petri, in the Peace Summit organized by President Volodimir Zelensky in Switzerland.
As far as he could know Infobaethe national deputy of the PRO Fernando Iglesias was the last to join the presidential delegation as president of the Foreign Relations and Worship commission of the Chamber of Deputies.
Although Iglesias has always been politically referenced by Mauricio Macri, since the beginning of the libertarian administration he has defended the Government’s initiatives and supported the ruling party without fissures during the debate on the Base Law and the Fiscal Package.
The absence of Mondino -and the invitation to Iglesias- is a new sign of political distancing, especially in a context of strong turbulence in the Cabinet. However, Casa Rosada sources denied any type of short circuit between Milei and the official.
Last Friday, the head of state’s anger had emerged when he was addressing an event organized by the Islamic community at the King Fahd Mosque in Palermo. 19 ambassadors were waiting for him, but Milei decided not to attend when he found out that among them was the representative of Palestine. The Argentine head of state maintains a strict political alignment with the government of Israel.
The official delegation will leave Aeroparque today at 11pm bound for Las Palmas airport, in the Canary Islands, and then head to Bari, in Italy. From there, he will then travel to Zurich to participate in the Peace Summit organized by Zelensky.
