In the run-up to his reunion with Milei, Villarruel launched a strong message: "My tribute to those who rejected foreign domination"

In the lead-up to her meeting with President Javier Milei, Vice President Victoria Villarruel posted a strong message on her official X account commemorating Argentina's victory over British invaders in 1807. The post was interpreted by many as a veiled criticism of Milei's close ties with the United States and his attacks on the Catholic Church. Villarruel highlighted the resilience of Argentine citizens during the Second Invasion of England, emphasizing their defiance against foreign domination and national pride. The post gained significant traction online, with users reading it as a challenge to Milei's policies. The message also included religious references, invoking divine protection and the Virgin Mary. Both Milei and Villarruel are set to attend a ceremony in Tucumán marking Argentina's Independence Day.

Villarruel described Milei's speech in Tucumán as "very political" and opined on the government shutdown project

Vice President Victoria Villarruel attended an event in Tucuman commemorating the 210th anniversary of Argentina's Independence Day and commented on President Javier Milei's speech, calling it 'very political.' She emphasized the importance of national sovereignty and expressed her views on the proposed government shutdown initiative by the administration. Villarruel differentiated herself from Milei, highlighting the need for Argentina to maintain control over its decisions and resources rather than being influenced by foreign interests. In a column published by La Gaceta, she argued against the shutdown proposal, suggesting it could limit legislative freedom. Villarruel also stressed the significance of unity among Argentinians during this historical moment.

Milei's back room in Tucumán: a symbolic cachet for Villarruel and a warning message for the governors

President Javier Milei attended an Independence Day ceremony in Tucumán, surrounded by governors and ministers, where he emphasized his need for their support to push forward key legislative reforms. The event highlighted tensions between Milei and Vice President Victoria Villarruel, who was seated separately from Milei and his cabinet—a symbolic gesture reflecting their strained relationship. Milei urged governors to back his agenda, including tax exemptions, electoral reform, and 'cold zones' for economic policies. Villarruel arrived separately and had her own schedule, including visiting a sugar industry complex, signaling her independent stance. Milei traveled with most of his cabinet but without Senator Patricia Bullrich, who cited personal reasons for not attending.
